Heart transplant day: Emotions before surgery

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

5 live has been following the story of heart transplant patient Stephen Halsey, who received a life-saving operation at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. On the morning of the operation, Stephen was told by hospital transplant co-ordinator Laura Grocott that a donor organ was potentially available, and briefed him on what to expect. Stephen, a father-of-two, said he 鈥渟till struggles鈥� with the 鈥渟ad鈥� concept of where the organ is coming from. However wife, Denise, who was at the hospital with their two sons, said despite 鈥渆verything鈥�, husband Stephen was on "good form" before his surgery. This clip is originally from 5 live Heart Transplant Day on Tuesday 2 June 2015.
