Where'd your career go?

Is it true that ANYBODY can self-publish if they have enough money?

Looks like my cousin will be setting a new record this year as he is now 25 years out and is no longer on a immunosupressant medication. I hope my new heart holds up like his has.

I have a cousin who had a heart transplant in I think 88' and was recently taken COMPLETELY off his immunosuppressant medications.. I also know many people who are 15+ years out who have not needed a new heart.. Is this what your surgeon told you? Because I've never heard of this until today..

I too had a transplant back in 2007 and none of my doctors or my personal research had such information. I'm by no means trying to be rude.. But I feel like that's something my doctors would've known and told me as we shared complete transparency. I had my transplant at Cleveland Clinic which has been ranked #1 in Cardiovascular Medicine 13 of the previous 15 years, so I'm going to be upset if they don't know this when I have my next cath.
