The most gifted transplant surgeon in Wisconsin for the last 25 years was Dr. Mark Adams who was the head of transplant surgery at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Dr. Adams was truly a world class surgeon who saved my wife's life, and the lives of many others. Dr. Adams had a heart condition and was given the choice of a pacemaker or in the alternative exercise coupled with meds and a strict diet. Dr. Adams opted for diet, meds and exercise which he complied with religiously. He died of heart failure at the age of 62. I can not begin to tell you how many transplant recipients grieve over his untimely death. Consider your options with the greatest care possible. Hotwired in Milwaukee
