Doctor Norman Shumway, the first surgeon to perform a human heart transplant in the Untied States, died today at age 83….of lung cancer.

Man, it’s always something, isn’t it? 🙁

    Sure, heart failure would have been more ironic.

    And yet it really had to sting at some level, knowing your life’s work was neither going to be used to save your own skin, nor did it count towards sufficient karma points to win you immortality.

    On the other hand, the vast majority of lung cancer is the result of smoking, so the ijit probably had it coming.
