Original Toronto Star caption: Transplant patient makes hearty recovery, Jeff Robinson, right, who was on the operating table two weeks ago to receive the 50th heart transplant at Toronto Western Hospital, playfully wrestles with his surgeon, Dr. Chris Feindel. Cheering the patient on is his sister, Michele Gilbertson. Dozens of heart transplant recipients gathered at the hospital yesterday to swap stories on their recoveries and wish Robinson, 24, good luck.
