American doctor uses sign language to operate in Moscow
Dr. Walter J. Burdette of Salt Lake City and a Russian nurse used sign language to perform heart surgery on a 25 year old Armenian patient in Moscow. The operation opened a heart valve with forceps and was coordinated with an interpreter. Burdette, visiting Soviet medical centers on Rockefeller Foundation support, plans to apply insights to the Utah Medical Center under construction. He will return home next Thursday via Prague.
