JESICA SANTILLAN'S MOTHER ANSWERS QUESTIONS FROM THE MEDIA.
Magdalena Santillan listens to questions from the media during a press
conference held February 20, 2003 at the Brookwood Inn in Durham, North
Carolina regarding the botched heart-lung transplant procedure that
took place with her daughter Jesica Santillan. Jesica received a
heart-lung transplant at Duke University Medical Center with organs
that did not match her blood type and a second set of organs became
available to Santillan early Thursday morning. Doctors have given
Jesica a fifty-fifty chance of surviving the second surgery.
