Dr. Michael DeBakey, who headed the Team of surgeons that performed the operation at Methodist Hospital in Houston, made arrangements for the transplant donor to be flown to Houston from Long Beach, Calif. DeBakey related that the timing of the events leading up to the operation was remarkable, and if the timing on the incoming flight with the donor had been 30 minutes later, Mr. Singleton may have died.
