The 1960's, 70's and 80's brought about a revolution in the treatment of heart and kidney disease.  Dialysis, organ transplants, coronary bypass, open heart surgery and many other procedures that we think of as almost routine today - were created during those decades. Meet three of the important innovators who, between them, have saved millions of lives.  Denton Cooley performed the first human-to-human heart transplant, Willem Kolff invented dialysis and is considered the father of artificial organs, and William DeVries was the first surgeon to implant a permanent artificial heart in a dying patient.  They tell the stories here of what led them to the forefront of their field, and describe the rewards of a career spent saving lives.  (c ) American Academy of Achievement 2021

Denton Cooley, Willem Kolff and William DeVries: King of Hearts

We share lots of good history about famed Dr. Denton Cooley. There is even a nice exclusive clip of him telling a story from his childhood. Plus JR runs down the arrival of Montgomery Wards, Penney's and Joske's into Houston. It's a top notch episode 9.
