Guest Sir Creep Posted December 27, 2014 Gentlemen and Ladies, I offer on a silver platter Ms Tilleman-Dick! http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/singing-opera-with-someone-elses-lungs/2013/05/24/249d4ca0-b97c-11e2-b94c-b684dda07add_story.html Has undergone TWO double lung transplants! Each transplant lasts about 5 years, but expect 4 for the second one (2013) and she says her lung tissue so tortured a third isn't possible. She already has slight breathing issues with 2013 lungs. I don't believe her vulnerable in 2015, but leaving her off in 2016 a crime and I can't see how she takes a breath in 2018. 2016 lock for those doing categories and need a Music person.
