be still my heart Someone on either this thread, or the Abiomed Yahoo thread mentioned that Nova is starting a web site about the electric heart that will be initiated by Nova of PBS on December 17 (this Friday) and that a one hour Nova special will be aired on December 21 (next Tuesday). At the pre-announcement of that web site, Bud Frazier is mentioned as an important surgeon, who is featured in that special, who has done more heart transplants than anyone alive (over 700). Further research indicated that Frazier is Director of Surgical Research and Chief of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation at the Texas Heart Institute at St Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston. Further, the Texas Heart Institute, part of the University of Texas Medical Center, is the international leader in quantity for performing open heart surgery and heart transplants. Based on THI's statistics, it looks like Dr Frazier has performed all 700 heart transplants. Now guess what firm has been, perhaps, the only partner in developing the total artificial heart with the Texas Heart Institute and Dr Frazier. Also guess what firm has been a partner, in that same regard, with THI, for the last 10 years. Is the name Abiomed familiar to you? Oh yeah, guess who produces Nova? WGBH in Boston. Do you get the picture? I increased my position by 3,000 shares this morning to 5,000. I am going to do well on Abiomed, or have major pain. Go Abiomed. Ken Wilson - aka High-Tech East.
