Dear Dr. Zintel
I wish to thank you and Dr. McCord for the nice reception at St.
Lukes. I can see that your nice laboratories would be quite an
attraction for me.
My clinical interests are multifaceted, even though now I am
engaged mainly in cardio-thoracic work. It would be cor Dr, McCord
and yourself to decide whether you would want me to participate
in this or another area. I could of course help you establish
your coronary angiography area, which I understand is lacking.
Setting up a research and clinical transplantation program would
be of great interest to mes I was glad to see your enthusiasm for
such an effort. Enelosed is my more recent curriculum vitae, which
should suggest how much I miss research and teaching and the academic
atmosphere. I do appreciate your consideration and I thank you.
Sincerely
Karel B. Absolon, M.D.
