Dennis Deer’s lungs were scarred by an inflammatory condition and he needed a transplant. But he faced another hurdle. All of the organs in his chest and abdomen were flip-flopped, with organs that should be on the right existing on the left.
Despite carrying supplemental oxygen, Deer, the commissioner for the 2nd District and a psychologist, was finding it harder and harder to perform his job.
“Someone has tried to listen to their heart, and then they don’t find the heartbeat on the left side, so they get an X-ray, and everything looks reversed,” he said.A second rare patient “I felt like a prisoner — best way to describe it like a bird in a cage. You know, you can still hear the bird’s singing — it sings a beautiful song, but the song is still very sad,” she said at the news conference.Like Deer, Vega was put on the lung transplant waiting list, and like Deer, needed individualized treatment. Performing an organ transplant on patients with situs inversus is an extraordinary surgical challenge, Bharat said.
“It’s like taking a left sleeve off a shirt and then figuring out how to reattach it to the right side of the shirt instead.”
