Any medical types on the flist...

[kellifer]

So, I have a couple of questions for a fic and I'm sure I could google or wiki it but...

- What kind of complications could arise from a heart transplant?

- What are the considerations? Do blood types have to match etc...?

- What's the recovery like?

Basically I'm going to be using "science-fiction" rather than science - alien technology, but there are some things that would still work the same...

This is for my second sweet charity fic so any help would be appreciated... I've completely changed what I'm writing... again... *bites fingernails*

Yesterday I watched a documentary about Christiaan Barnard and the first heart transpant. Concidences! +g* As any surgery, there's also a risk of infection. Just thought I'd mention it.
