A piece in ode to Dimitri Demikhov, widely considered the godfather of heart transplants. A Russian doctor who grafted dogs together to understand tissue rejection at a time when organ transplants were thought of only in the realm of science fiction. Although his experiments were seen as animal cruelty, without the risks he took, the first successful heart transplant might never have taken place when it did.
Mixed with another scientist who walks the thin line between genius and madman. Rick Sanchez from the cartoon Rick & Morty.
