Nita Mahoney (L) and Rena Harvey (R), who are friends of heart-lung
transplant patient Jesica Santillan, comfort one another as they listen
to a press conference held February 20, 2003 at Duke University
regarding the heart-lung transplant procedure that took place with
patient Jesica Santillan. Santillan 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 Santillan a fifty-fifty chance of
surviving the second surgery. REUTERS/Ellen Ozier
