Medical Pioneer

Frank was a medical pioneer. Frank was truly a medical pioneer, not by choice, but by necessity.

Frank had rheumatic fever as a child which damaged a heart valve. This damaged heart valve was replaced by a mechanical heart valve.

NOTE: These first mechanical heart valves were very experimental in nature and effectively did a lot of damage to the blood by crushing the blood cells when the valve closed. During the open-heart surgery the patient's breastbone was sawed in half and the ribs were pulled to each side, to open the chest cavity. The patient was kept alive via an external mechanical heart pump which also damaged the blood cells.

Frank's First Historic Open-heart Surgery: Heart valve replacement was in its infancy in America. These heart valve replacements were the first open-heart surgeries performed in Virginia. Open-heart surgery was ground-breaking and highly experimental.

In 1960, Frank was the 4th person in the state of Virginia to receive open-heart surgery. Frank was the first person to survive the open-heart surgery in the state of Virginia.

Going in, Frank knew that the odds were not in his favor. The previous three patients had died on the operating table during the surgery. These four surgeries were all performed at the University of Virginia Medical Hospital, Charlottesville, Virginia.

NOTE: This was medical history. It was during the advent of open-heart surgery that for the first time, a "team of doctors" performed the surgery. Prior to open-heart surgery, only one surgeon performed the operation.

RISK: These "early" mechanical heart valves were foreign objects placed into the body, with moving parts. Very little was known in 1960 about the long-term survivability of the patient with a mechanical heart valve, or the long-term performance of these "early" mechanical heart valves, or the long-term use of the necessary medications.

Following the open-heart surgery, Frank was strapped to an incline board and effectively stood-up for forty days, night and day. BUT FRANK NEVER COMPLAINED.

Recovery and Pseudo-normal Life: After the first open heart surgery and receiving his first mechanical heart valve, Frank returned to work as a foreman at the Lynchburg Westover Dairy. NOTE: Frank's out-of-pocket heart medication cost more than one week of Frank's gross pay per month.

Frank's Second Open-Heart Surgery: After five years, Frank's new mechanical heart valve began to leak and needed to be replaced. Frank went into surgery again at the University of Virginia Medical Hospital, this time to replace his first mechanical heart valve. The first mechanical heart valve was replaced with a second improved mechanical heart valve. Frank's chest was closed-up and sewn shut. Something went wrong. Frank's chest was opened-up again. Frank spent eight hours total on the operating table with his chest open. Frank died on the operating table during his second open-heart surgery. Frank's chest was closed-up after he had died.

Thus, at the time of his death, Frank was the longest living patient in Virginia who had received open heart surgery. At the time of his death, Frank was the longest living patient in Virginia with a mechanical heart valve.

"Robert Beheathland is designated an “Original Planter” of the Jamestown Colony. His descendants can claim ancestry from one of the very first European families of this nation. Of the 105 or so colonists to land and stake claim to Virginia soil in 1607, it appears that only Beheathland lived long enough to have descendants who survived into the modern era."
