Over the next seven hours, the two teams worked briskly, removing House's stricken lungs and his functional heart, leaving what Surgeon Bruce Reitz later described as a "very dramatic cavity" in his chest. The doctors had decided it was simpler and safer to replace both the heart and lungs rather than the lungs alone. As Reitz's team began implanting the heart and lungs taken from the accident victim, House's heart was rushed into the next room, where Surgeon William Baumgartner sutured it piggyback over Couch's own ailing heart. By 10 a.m. the exhausted physicians had completed...
This year's edition dives further into the arcanery of the game and might just have lost a little of the irreverence that characterized earlier editions. The Bill James who once said. "Reitz, as you probably know, is slower than a lot of dead people" and tagged Bob Bailor a "Futility Player" in his player evaluations has grown a little older and little wiser--and maybe a bit duller...
...such operation ever and the first since 1971. The patient was Mary Gohlke, 45, a newspaper executive from Mesa, Ariz. She had been suffering from pulmonary hypertension, a condition in which high blood pressure in the vessels of the lungs impairs breathing and eventually damages the heart. Dr. Bruce Reitz and his Stanford team severed the aorta and trachea and cut through the heart's right atrium to remove the heart and lungs. "The whole thing comes out as a package," explains Reitz. Then they replaced it with healthy organs from a 15-year-old boy killed...
Gohlke, who is expected to be released from the hospital within the next two weeks, is doing well-walking and taking short trips outside the hospital in a wheelchair. On May 1 Reitz performed another heart-lung transplant, this one on a former undertaker, Charles Walker, 30, who had a congenital heart defect. He too is doing well...
Which of the food processors is better? The Cuisinart has a larger opening for feeding food into the machine, but Robot-Coupe offers models with slightly more powerful motors. Culinary experts are divided in their loyalties, and many agree with Russell Reitz, manager of Cook's Mart in Chicago, which offers its customers both: "There is virtually no difference in performance or price be tween the two processors." With the gour met grinders, as in so many aspects of cooking, it is chacun à son goût: each to his own taste...
