Hey, have a heart...

This girl from South Carolina flew to Florida to have another heart transplant, but had to wait about four months.  In the meantime, her doctors adapted some heart assissting pumps to pump 100% of her blood for her.   So there she was for four months, NO HEART.  Aside from the fact that I'm amazed, I'm also happy that we live in a modern world where 1) this girl didn't have to die, and 2) nobody is going to burned at the stake for witchcraft.  Hopefully, by the time she needs her new heart replaced, somebody will have an answer that doesn't require her to have any more transplants.  Medicine sure is getting better all the time!!
