Transplant patient Tom Cook lives with donor heart
Tom Cook carries a donor heart, taking eight daily medications to prevent rejection. Cyclosporine and other drugs guard against infection and side effects. Biopsies every six months monitor rejection. Despite waiting lists, donors from Norwich, New York funded part of the $250,000-plus transplant bills. Cook, once ill, now works as a warehouse supervisor and plans a DJ business. A young donor, brain dead after a car crash, remains anonymous but saved his life.

Doctor Cohen Linked to Insanity Trial Over Breeden Murder
Court records show Suburban General Hospital restricted Cohen’s clinical privileges and the Psychiatric Institute investigated his practice. In a Washington County insanity trial, Breeden’s lawyers argued Cohen’s late 1988 to early 1989 treatment failures contributed to his patient’s murder of Shirley Baker on February 11, 1989. They claim lack of anti-psychotic medicine left Breeden increasingly unbalanced and paranoid. Cohen has practiced in Maryland since 1989 and is a certified psychiatrist since 1982. No hearing date is set.
