'I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for my heart donor...'

Evening Times - Scotland | Caroline Wilson

SANDY WALLACE knows he is one of the lucky ones. The 60-year-old father-of-two is alive and enjoying a “new life” because a donor heart was found within 10 days of him being admitted to hospital, critically ill with heart failure.

He remembers the other patients in his ward who died, waiting.

Heart transplant surgeons have warned of “critical” shortages of donor hearts across the UK.
