Blaiberg Plans New Job
(N.Z. P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) CAPE TOWN, Jan. 23. Dr Philip Blaiberg, now the only person in the world with someone else’s heart beating inside him, is making plans to take up a new career when he leaves hospital, according to one of his doctors. Dr Blaiberg feels he will probably not go back to dentistry but will take a light job as medical representative with a drug firm. Dr Coert Venter told a press conference. Dr Venter said he did not know whether Dr Blaiberg had been told of the death in America of another heart transplant patient, Mr Mike Kasperak. “But one can be honest with Dr Blaiberg. I think he could be told,” Dr Venter said.
