COOLEY GETS HORSE AS SURGERY FEE
( EDITOR’ S NOTE: The following article came to us from Mrs. Grant E. Tyler from Dayton, Ohio.
SARGENT, Neb.-( AP)— Dr. Denton A. Cooley performed open
heart surgery on 23-month-old Kinsy Byam. The infant is now recuperating at Children’ s hospital and may be home in 10 days.
The Houston, Tex. heart surgeon’ s fee: a registered walking ' horse.
Dr. Robert Westbrook of Sargent, the family physician, said he will donate the mare because the Byams thought their daughter was covered by insurance but found she was not. He said, " I asked Dr. Cooley what to do with the horse when it arrives in Houston. He told me just to park it in front of the hospital, and he would come and get it.”
