This is truly a milestone accolade, the first double lung transplant ever done on a Chinese patient in a country that has 1.3 billion people. And done by a Canadian Shia Ismaili Muslim surgeon along with his Chinese surgical colleague. Shaf Keshavjee, a most worthy recipient of the Orders of Ontario and Canada. I see a Nobel Prize in the horizon!
