Talk:Elizabeth Craze

message: This reference  says "Shumway also operated on her brother, Andrew." which would seem to indicate that Shumway did, in fact, perform the operation.  Stanford also has a quote from Elizabeth Craze, which, in describing her, states "transplant surgery performed by Dr. Norman Shumway". .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 13:04, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who performed the surgery? 

message: Andrew Craze here.  Both my sister's and my own transplant were performed by members of Shumway's medical team, and under his watch, but my understanding is that the surgeries were not actually done by the great Dr. Shumway in either case.  Stanford was (and is) a teaching hospital and in the 80's was in the process of teaching many of the surgeons that now run transplant centers worldwide.  The current head transplant fellow at any given time generally performed the actual transplant surgery.  In my case in 1983 that was Dr. Dennis Modry, and in Elizabeth's case in 1984, Dr. Phil Oyer.  While both doctors were highly competent, and have become more established, at the time they were still relatively young and unknown.  Thus it is not surprising that their names didn't make the papers -- they had no PR value.
None of this diminishes the point, which is that Cardiac transplantation outcomes are continuously improving, and that while Elizabeth was the youngest ever to receive a transplant at that time, she continues to live a full and productive life more than 20 years later.  (Although I haven't actually attended any of her volleyball games.)

thread_title:  Who performed the surgery? I think I know. 

message: OK, fair enough.  While I consider myself technically savvy, I must admit to being something of a newbie with regards to Wikipedia.  What constitutes an "Acceptable" source?  I would say it's tough to get much closer to the source.  Obviously the late Dr. Shumway isn't going to weigh in on this.  8)
Does having a reference on the web make the information more reliable?  I'm proficient with HTML, if I were to make a site claiming that black was white would that make it so?  It seems to me that Wikipedia, as a respected online reference, would be the first choice of websites to reference.  What am I missing?
Thanks,

thread_title:  Acceptable vs. Accurate or Reliable 

message: 1) I added a references tag to the page. At the least, this page needs major expanding and inline references, a list of references at the bottom is insufficient.
2) I removed the bit "and consequently is no longer anatomically correct" from the sentence about a kidney transplant, as I have no clue whatsoever what that is supposed to mean. Looks like possible vandalism to me.
