Michael was heart transplant twenty-one at Toronto General for 2010.  At one point transplant patients were told their "number".  For instance, my dad was the 223rd heart transplant performed at Toronto General Hospital.  In 2008, the Heart Transplant Team of the Multi-Organ Transplant Program at Toronto General Hospital celebrated their 500th heart transplant!
