Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Humar's appointment, announced yesterday, follows a tumultuous period at UPMC's world-renowned transplant program. The center's most recent chief, Dr. Amadeo Marcos, resigned in March, one day before UPMC announced the live-donor liver transplant review….. http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/cityregion/s_603129.html Barb in Texas - Together in the Fight - Whatever it Takes!

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 This announcement has me more shocked (and dismayed) than anything I can remember. Dr. Humar was my surgeon at Univ. of Minnesota hospital for my two transplants in 2000. I regard him as the man who saved my life when My hepatic artery became occluded one month after the first Transplant. I have never experienced anything like the atmosphere in my hospital room when He entered. To say he improved morale and inspired confidence would not do justice. I'm having difficulty absorbing this news. Of course, I do not plan on returning to the hospital in an emergency situation at any time, but I am realizing what he meant to me ever since 2000.

And I also knew that University of Minnesota would not be the place where he would lead the country in advancing the field, given the political climate in the state. We no longer want to lead the country. We only want to spare certain people having to pay their rightful taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
