This heart-warming story just crossed my desk and made me smile.A heart surgeon on a mercy-mission in El Salvador stopped surgery on his eight-year old patient so he could donate his own rare-type blood.
Dr. Samuel Weinstein said he had his blood drawn, ate a Pop-Tart and returned to the operating table about 20 minutes later to watch as his blood helped the boy survive the complex surgery.
"It was a little bit surreal," Weinstein said Friday from the Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, where he is chief of pediatric cardio-thoracic surgery.
Bravo, Doctor! Bravo!
Dr. Weinstein was in the news last winter, too. He and his associates performed heart surgery of four seriously ill Iraqi children.
