Alpine man receives world’s latest heart transplant
John M. Stuckwish of Alpine, 62, was reported in relatively satisfactory condition after a heart transplant at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital. The donor was Clarence A. Nicks of Houston, who died from gunshot injuries. The operation, led by Dr. Denton Cooley, occurred as an emergency. The donor heart arrived from a separate case and the transplant completed by 2:34 p.m. Officials say brain injury caused the donor’s death and legal questions linger about the timing and status of the recipient.
