ЛЕГЕНДА ДЛИНОЮ В 595 ДНЕЙ

К многим томам клинических исследований больных,, перенесших операцию пересадки сердца, добавилось не­сколько страничек, написанных человеком, далеким от ме­дицины, вдовой доктора Филиппа Блайберга. Того, кто в течение 595 дней был символом веры энтузиастов пересадки.

— Все это время мой муж вел мучительную двойную жизнь,— рассказывает Эйлин Блайберг.— Он сознательно обманывал мир. Это была его месть за страдание.

На людях Блайберг выглядел бодрым, плавал, играл в регби, пил с журналистами, посещал ночные клубы. Но, говорит вдова Блайберга, каждый такой рекламный жест стоил ему невыносимого напряжения и многих последую­щих недель агонии в постели. После знаменитого матча в регби в мае 1968 года он пролежал в больнице почти четыре месяца. Блайберг был вынужден поглощать огромное коли­чество лекарств: от 32 до 100 таблеток ежедневно. Эти лекарства не могли не разрушать его организм. Миссис Блайберг вспоминает, что во время вскрытия врачи были поражены тем, что ее муж вообще мог самостоятельно передвигаться — до такой степени были разрушены мышеч­ные и костные ткани.

Мой муж охотно раздавал платные интервью и стара­тельно улыбался в объектив фоторепортеров, потому что предчувствовал близкую смерть и хотел, пока не поздно, обеспечить свою семью.

Филипп Блайберг успел написать книгу о своем воз­рождении к жизни. Он'"писал о себе, как об абсолютно здоровом человеке, возвращенном ко всем радостям бытия. Он стал легендарным при жизни и делал все, чтобы эта легенда казалась правдой. Легенда о Блайберге была од­ной из самых радостных сказокXX века.
