<p>…and regarding the “who did the first heart transplant.” Norman Shumway was the first to perform the procedure in the US (at Stanford). But Christiaan Barnard (of South Africa) might disagree that this was the first human heart transplant. Barnard did study with Shumway though… at the University of Minnesota.</p>
<p>(None of this is meant to disparage Shumway’s (or Stanford’s) pioneering contributions btw, but it’s a little silly to throw around these “facts” when they’re wrong.)</p>
