My point is that once you're doing procedures such as this, you never really know how or when your body will react.

Best wishes for Oscar in his recovery.
I agree. My dad worked for a large corporation and had a series of brain surgeries (not cancerous) but he didn't function nearly the same after the long series of operations etc. I'd imagine with a heart transplant it's even worse - having a seizure at work is different than literally dropping dead.

I read on another forum that some believe that a heart transplant is so severe that this is just corporate talk and they are looking for a new CEO (lot's of risk involved.) I can see that point also.

Anybody feel Oscar might not actually be coming back?
