re: Man who received the second pig heart transplant dies, hospital says

I think you just go into it expecting that it won't buy you much and if it does bully. I'm in the lung transplant world and post transplant, assuming no complications, you are looking at anywhere from 2 - 3 weeks inpatient before discharge and then you are recovering for who knows how long after that as it is person dependent. I would almost think for all the costs and stress of the medical procedure that the six weeks may not have been worth it depending how post op life was.
