Cape Town AP reports Louis Washkansky, the first heart transplant patient, received a third cobalt treatment since Dec. 2. Doctors report no signs of rejection, no infection, and a steady improvement as they weigh future steps including possible organ banks and experimental alternatives. Medical team leader Dr Christian Barnard cautions heart transplants remain limited by donor supply and require years before widespread use.
