Transplant Patient Calls Lite 'Normal'
by TOM MARQUARDT
Life Associate Editor
He's going to college now to finish his education, once in a while he swims, occasionally
he plays the horses and next week he's going
pheasant hunting with some Iowa doctors.
Donald Kaminski leads a '"normal" life except
for the fact that he has to see a doctor every three
weeks and take 11 pills a day. But he wouldn't
have been able to do even that if it wasn't for the
heart of Robert Pushman, a Central senior who
died in an automobile accident Dec. 2 last year.
Michigan's Second Heart Transplant
Since the operation, which became Michigan's
second heart transplant success, Kaminski's life
has been more than active. He has spoken at several banquets, appeared on television some 20
times -and has been interviewed by reporters at
least the same amount.

Author-Ambassador Talks
At Recognition Convocation
British author E. R. Braithwaite will be the
guest speaker for the 1969 Recognition Convocation to be held Friday at 10 a.m. in Warrmer
Auditorium.
Braithwaite, not to be confused with the author
of "To Sir, With Love," with the same name, is
Giana's- permanent   ambassador   to   the   United ■
Nations and a member of the history department
■at'the University of West Indies, Jamaica. He will
speak' on "The Creative Person."
The Convocation acknowledges-high scholarship, achievement in extra-curricular activities and
leadership in professional groups and social organizations for CMU students.
Individual invitations to the honored students
will not be mailed this year, but all students who
have been elected to honorary fraternities, or held
office in campus organizations are invited.
Those who have won athletic awards or who
have served as members on the staff of student
publications are also invited.
Classes will not be dismissed, but instructors
may excuse students'so they may attend the annual Convocation.
"I'm a pretty lucky guy, you know?" Kaminski
said.. "They told me I had no more than three
years to live and my heart got progressively worse.
They gave me three alternatives, but I didn't have
much choice. My best chances were with a heart
transplant — fifty-fifty, they said."
Waiting Period
After his decision, the doctors began a "preparation" for the operation which involved medication to make his body immune to certain poisons
that would be produced during a transplant. Then
the waiting period for the donor began.
Four days later, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Pushman
decided to carry out their son's wish to donate his
heart if he died. His wish, the parents said, was
made only two weeks before he was killed.
Pushman died in an automobile accident near
Flint while returning to Central from his home
in Fenton.

EVER SINCE THE OPERATION, Donald Kaminski has been keeping a scrapbook of all the
publicity that has appeared in national and
international publications. The heart transplant
recipient also has several signatures of doctors
who have visited him from Czechoslovakia and
other countries.
Kaminski said, "I was fortunate there was a
donor and more fortunate he was healthy. The
doctors said I had the best available because Push-
man was young and athletic." _
He added that the five-hour operation seemed
to last only half a minute. Kaminski lived fot two
hours  during  the  operation  without   any beart
while a machine pumped blood through his body.
Operation Was A Success
Pushman's parents stayed at the University of
Michigan Medical Center through the operation.
When it was complete and the doctors proclaimed
the operation a success, the elder Pushman said,
"I knew darn well it would be." .      .
The operation alone cost $43,000 but Kaminski
__-_ . one man who was happy he had insurance.
Blue CroS paid for $22,000 while $11,000 was
donated by the Heart Fund and the other $10,000
Sane from Medicaid. In addition 84 volunteers
donated the necessary 25 pints of blood.
