Charley I love Houston. The medical center there is second to none. Methodist Hospital saved my father's life in 1980 when they did a complete aorta transplant (10x more serious than a heart transplant) where they replaced 4.5 ft (all) of his aorta. It was an extremely rare operation back then and only two hospitals in the world did it. MA General here in Boston and in Houston. As the doctor that invented the operation, E Stanley Crawford, had a better record of survival we flew to Houston on the last Braniff flight out of Boston as they were going bankrupt. He lived 18 years after the operation when he was given less than one month to live if he did not get it.
