Transposition of the great vessels- who is the musard procedure named after?
464625
Dr. Michael Gatzoulis of the Royal Brompton Hospital, London, England, working with Dr. Liu, examined 51 patients who 25 years ago had received the Mustard procedure in Toronto. They found that nearly a quarter of the sample were beginning to develop heart rhythm problems which, left untreated could lead to heart failure.\n\nThe Mustard procedure – developed by Dr. William Mustard with support from the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada– was the first operation to correct the congenital abnormality that produced “blue babies.\n\nBlue babies are born with a defect called transposition of the great vessels, in which blood from the lungs flows back to the lungs and blood from the body flows back to the body. The two major arteries coming out of the heart, the aorta and the pulmonary artery are connected to the wrong chambers. Such babies look blue because insufficient oxygen is circulating in their bodies.\n\nThe Mustard procedure restores the circulation but reverses the direction of the blood flow in the heart. In a normal heart, de-oxygenated, blue, blood is pumped into the lungs via the right ventricle. Then it is distributed throughout the body via the left ventricle. In the Mustard procedure, blood is pumped to the lungs via the left ventricle and disseminated throughout the body via the right ventricle.

According to Roman Catholics, a very tall and physically challenged Roman man named Reprobus, referred to as a giant by those who knew him, vowed to serve Jews and became a Christian. He sought out a Christian hermit to inquire as to how he could better serve Jesus. The hermit directed him to a dangerous ford in a swift river, and suggested that the giant's great size and strength made him a good candidate to assist people in crossing.  Reprobus began ferrying people across the river on his broad back.\n\nOne day, a small child approached the river and asked to be carried across.  The giant began to comply, only to learn that the small boy was far heavier than any other passenger he had taken.  The child revealed that he was in fact Jesus Christ, and that his unusual weight was due to the fact that he bore the sins of the world.  The boy then baptised the giant in the river, and he acquired his new name Christopher, Greek for "Christ-carrier" (christo-phoros).\n\nWe can guess that the river in question is the Jordan River.  Jesus cleansed this water and people went to these waters to cleanse themselves of their sins.

In his anxiety to accelerate the process by which he could acquire a perfect execution, he permanently injured his right hand. Another authority states that the right-hand disability was caused by syphilis medication. Those who claim the former state that he attempted a radical surgical procedure to separate the tendons of the fourth finger from those of the third (the ring finger musculature is linked to that of the third finger, thus making it the "weakest" finger). Regardless, his ambitions as a pianist being suddenly ruined, he determined to devote himself entirely to composition, and began a course of theory under Heinrich Dorn, conductor of the Leipzig opera.

First Heart Transplant\nOn December 3, 1967, South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard conducted the first heart transplant on 53-year-old Lewis Washkansky. The surgery was a success. However, the medications that were given to Washkansky to prevent his immune system from attacking the new heart also supressed his body's ability to fight off other illnesses. Eighteen days after the operation, Washkansky died of double pneumonia.

It is fairly certain that he did--by the looks of him at least--and that is some of the interested medical communities opinion. A good way to tell, without digging up and disturbing his humble remains, would be to check out his following relatives for Marfan Syndrome. I don't know if that has ever been researched yet.

Any doctor or hospital will do it. I remember we did it in biology class in high school. It was a very simple procedure.

The indisputable authenticity of this manuscript, discovered and vouched for by the man who shortly after became Pope Nicholas V., made its publication the more impressive. The output in book form of other authorities followed rapidly, and the manifest discrepancies between such teachers as Celsus, Hippocrates, Galen, and Pliny heightened still more the growing spirit of criticism.\n\nThese doubts resulted in great controversies as to the proper treatment of certain diseases, some physicians following Hippocrates, others Galen or Celsus, still others the Arabian masters. One of the most bitter of these contests was over the question of "revulsion," and "derivation"--that is, whether in cases of pleurisy treated by bleeding, the venesection should be made at a point distant from the seat of the disease, as held by the "revulsionists," or at a point nearer and on the same side of the body, as practised by the "derivationists." That any great point for discussion could be raised in the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries on so simple a matter as it seems to-day shows how necessary to the progress of medicine was the discovery of the circulation of the blood made by Harvey two centuries later.

why don't you ask your teacher? I find it very disturbing that the person that drew my blood the other day may have been taught how to do it by someone on yahoo. Gee whats next a Dr. asking the best way to perform a heart transplant.
