Meet christiaan Barnard the legendary cardiac surgeon who performed first ever heart transplant surgery ❤

On 3 December 1967, a large medical, nursing, and technical team led by the surgeon Christiaan Barnard performed the world’s first human to human heart transplant. Christiaan Barnard was a South African cardiac surgeon who performed the world’s first human-to-human heart transplant operation and the first one in which the patient regained consciousness.

Christiaan Barnard has showed that it is possible to achieve the impossible. Today heart transplantation save many live which would otherwise be doomed. Even thought the surgery was considered borderline impossible at that time, he took the chance and the operation was entirely successful. Thanks to many talented and caring doctors like Christiaan Barnard that this is possible today.
