Heart-lung patient meets transplant surgeon who saved her life 30 years ago
A woman from York, who had a heart and lung transplant operation at Papworth Hospital, has celebrated the 30th anniversary of her surgery by being reunited with the doctor who transformed her life.

Carol Town, 63, who was born in Upminster in Essex (now east London) in 1954, was five years old when she was diagnosed with a rare condition that leads to irreversible lung damage.
At the time she was diagnosed, most patients with the condition died before they reached 30.
Once referred to Papworth Hospital, she waited for 18 months for organs to become available.
Mrs Town was on the way home from work when she got a message from the hospital to say suitable organs had been identified for her transplant in July 1987.
At the time of the operation she thought it would only give her four extra years of life, which she says "felt like a long time".
Her surgery was a success and she was discharged in time for her fourth wedding anniversary in August 1987.
She says the treatment gave her a new lease of life and she quickly learned to run, swim, cycle and ride horses for the first time.
After recovering for the surgery Ms Town eventually climbed her first peak, Pen-y-Ghent in the Yorkshire Dales, then took part in the Transplant Games.
Mrs Town met the surgeon who gave her the live-saving operation, Professor John Wallwork, who is now chairman of Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, at a special ceremony at Pembroke College in Cambridge.
She said: "The transplant gave me so much.
"It completely transformed my
life and allowed me to do things I never thought possible, like see my son grow
up and have a rewarding career.
"I'll probably never know who it was who donated their heart and lungs to me, but I am so grateful to them for giving me a second chance at life."
Seven teak cars, used in the filming of ITV drama Downton Abbey, were damaged on Sunday.
Damage to the carriages, which date from 1930 to 1950, was extensive, with windows smashed and furniture and fittings damaged.
Now a major clean-up operation is under way in Pickering:

Challenge Cup: 'Bruising game' ahead for Leeds Rhinos - Lilley
Leeds Rhinos have named their 19-man squad for Saturday's sold-out Challenge Cup semi-final against Hull, which includes the return of captain Danny McGuire.
He's one of nine changes from last week's Super League clash at Wigan with Brett Ferres and Liam Sutcliffe both back in contention after injury.
Half-back Jordan Lilley is hoping to feature in his first ever Challenge Cup semi-final and says he knows exactly what to expect from Hull:
"They're going to come out all guns blazing. We got one over on them - a tight affair at 10-7 - so they'll come with a game plan and they'll try to execute it. But we've got a game plan and it's going to be a bruising game," he says.
