mr. washkonski unfortunately died soon after the transplant, as did the second transplant recipient, a dentist named philip blaiberg.

Ironstine, the heart transplant was successful. the recipient lived for nearly 2 weeks after the transplant and died of pneumonia. The heart was not at fault for his death.

unfortunately this is not true. The real man after this is a black man. He used to clean up the surgery room and saw everything how it should be done. He showed this man how to do the procedure but because he was black he was not honored this great procedure.

Player #11503902, He said transplant operation. that is different than open heart surgery. He went on to acknowledge that he WAS the first to perform a transplant.
