Change of Heart – the story of Dr. Nazih Zuhdi

I hope you didn’t miss our latest installment of our nDepth series this week.

We featured Dr. Nazih Zuhdi, who is a world-renowned heart surgeon famous for his 1985 procedure — the first heart transplant in Oklahoma.

Reporter Susan Simpson told the story from many different angles. My favorite line in the piece came from Dr. Zuhdi himself:

“Heart transplantation was so strange to Oklahoma,” Zuhdi said. “They thought I was a nut. They thought I needed to be evaluated.”
