Philip Caves

 * ... that amongst colleagues, Philip Caves is thought to have been the most likely surgeon to have started the UK's first heart transplant program had he not accepted the demands of Glasgow's cardiac surgical services and then died at age 38 years” Source: " http://livesonline.rcseng.ac.uk/biogs/E006370b.htm" Undoubtedly had he had lived, he would have started the UK's first heart transplant program in Glasgow
 * ALT1:... that Philip Caves` influence on attitudes at Glasgow's Children's Hospital in the 1970s has been described as "whirlwind" as he operated on newborns who were previously considered not fit for surgery? Source: "http://www.ishlt.org/ContentDocuments/2012AprLinks_Caves.html" Caves hit Glasgow like a whirlwind-transforming both adult and congenital cardiac surgery-while motivating others with his tireless and engaging manner. He particularly changed attitudes at the Children's Hospital in Glasgow when he began operating on newborns who were previously denied surgery. Undoubtedly had he had lived, he would have started the UK's first heart transplant program in Glasgow.

 * Striking the first hook as it is much too long at 244 characters. The alt1 comes to 200 characters including that and ? and end of line, so it just scrapes in by length. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:08, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
