A brilliant mind, gone way too soon, at the hands of a couple of bumbling idiots.Remembering Dr. Victor Chang on the anniversary of his birth, born Chang Yam Him, November 21, 1936 in Shanghai, China, cardiac surgeon and pioneer of modern heart transplantation in Australia. On April 8, 1984 a team of doctors lead by Chang operated on 14 year old Fiona Coote who became Australia's youngest heart transplant patent. He was killed on July 4, 1991 in a failed extortion attempt. He was aged 54.

Just as an aside, I met a retired anesthetist who was working on Dr Chang's transplant team on the morning of his death. Word was "secretly" conveyed by police to the 2nd doctor in charge as to what happened, and remembering that all heart transplant operations need to be to the minute, the "normal" transplant operation proceeded without Dr Chang, and without the rest of the team realizing what had really happened happened.
The transplant operation was a complete success.
Dr Chang's team were devastated when they were told of the murder.
Dr Chang's legacy is that the transplant procedures continue to this very day.

The identity of a senior NSW police officer accused of drunkenly crashing and abandoning his work car will be kept secret for 40 years.
The high-ranking member was charged with drink-driving a fortnight ago over an alleged incident in May.
It is alleged the 46-year-old attended functions in The Rocks before getting behind the wheel of his police-issued car, striking a barrier while driving on the NorthConnex ramp before driving into a nearby street in Wahroonga and leaving the damaged car.
The senior officer was never breath-tested but CCTV from two pubs in The Rocks allegedly captured him downing more than 20 drinks.
Police initially requested 9News not identify the officer due to operational reasons while the matter is before the courts.
A fortnight ago, a court application was launched by police to keep the inspector's name and picture a secret under a suppression order - currently known by the pseudonym AB.
The police commissioner threatened jail time if the officer was identified.
The commissioner's lawyer told the court they would ask for an extraordinary court order preventing the media from revealing the inspector's name and face for 40 years.
Today the decision was handed down in court to keep the officer's name and face suppressed for 40 years.
It comes after questions were raised as to why a media release was not officially released by the police force when the officer was charged - as is police policy.
The matter was only made public after 9News put questions to the commissioner.
Both Police Commissioner Karen Webb and Deputy Commissioner David Hudson insist there has been no cover-up.
The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission, the independent watchdog, is now examining the case.

The internet will expose him.
What extraordinary over reach of powers by Webb. She needs to be chased out of her job. Corrupt scum.

What a disgrace, name and shame the guy.
Can’t have two sets of rules, plenty of cops get their names exposed when they commit an offence. This plonker no different.
This lady commissioner is not showing much intestinal fortitude on this, and a few other things. Maybe the wrong choice for the top job,

Sydney's Rosehill Racecourse will be relocated to make way for tens of thousands of new homes and an additional Metro West station, under a new proposal by the NSW government.
Premier Chris Minns announced the "once in a generation opportunity" tonight and said the government was in discussions with the Australian Turf Club about relocating the racecourse so 25,000 new houses can be built on the site.
Under the proposal, the site will also include a new school, parklands and entertainment, being touted as a new "mini city"
.Minns said the project would ease housing pressures at a time when affordability and availability were at their lowest levels in decades.
"We are facing the lowest rates of rental vacancies and a slowdown in building approvals and construction activity," Minns said.
"This is the biggest single pressure facing the people of New South Wales, with mortgage payments or rent the largest expense for most households.
"The NSW government is committed to building more housing in the right places, where people want to live – to improve affordability, reduce building and infrastructure costs and create thriving communities."
Several sites across Sydney will be earmarked and investigated for the new racing track and facilities.
The government's plan has been welcomed by business group Business Western Sydney.
"An additional metro station at Rosehill finally puts the 'west' in Sydney Metro West and starts to address the huge 7km station gap in the route," executive director David Borger said.

"A new metro station
at Rosehill is the opportunity to transform a part of Greater Parramatta that has long needed attention. It can deliver 25,000 new homes and create an accessible mini-city with great connections to Parramatta and the Sydney CBDs."
Borger said the plan was "a win for the long-term vision for our city" and would support housing and jobs.
"Metro lines in the leading cities of the word like London and Paris have short distances between metro stations. The decision to add more metro stations helps to balance the number of stations west of Sydney Olympic Park compared to the east and should deliver better value to our city as a result.
"While a delay to the opening of Sydney Metro West is regrettable, we need to make sure we get this city shaping project right and support as many new homes and jobs as we can with more stations."

Can't believe what a shit house Sydney is becoming, very rarely venture too far from home because it is becoming increasingly difficult to go anywhere because of traffic congestion, tolls etc.
Very happy basically living the life of a hermit on 5 acres, virtually in the bush yet still close to shops and all amenities. Best part is that hardly anyone knows that this place or places like this actually exist less than 50 kilometres from the centre of Sydney.
