A picture of Dr. Religa monitoring his patient's vitals after completing a 23-hour-long heart transplant. His assistant is asleep in the corner. (1987)
At the bottom is a picture of the same patient, 30 years later. He managed to outlive his doctor. Dr. Religa was a pioneer of heart transplantation in Poland, and even though the surgery was considered borderline impossible at the time, he took the chance, and the operation was successful.
