Dr Chang loved his work and developed Australia's National heart transplant program- which is the largest and most successful in the world. Dr Chang's patients all remember him for his help. He worked at St Vincent's hospital in Sydney and was a very generous man. He wasn't a negative man, he was more of a positive man. Dr Chang always had a smile on his face when he helped people. |
Being a doctor is a hard job, in same ways he should be very proud of himself because he has saved many lives. Everyone is thanking him for his help. If we did not have doctors like Dr Chang, imagine how many people would die every day? MILLIONS.
