Suzanne Simpson: One Woman’s Heart-Part Three
It was February 9th, 2011, 4:30pm when the phone rang at the Simpson house. The call was from a Florida area code.
Suzanne didn’t answer it thinking it was a telemarketer. When the answering machine picked up,
the woman’s voice said they had a heart for her, and she needed to call them back.
Suzanne raced to pick up the phone, but it was too late.
She dialed the number back, and the woman asked Suzanne if she was going to accept the heart. She said, “yes.” The woman told Suzanne that she needed to be at Vanderbilt by 6:00am the next morning.
That didn’t sound right. Something didn’t add up. David and Suzanne had been warned about “scams” involving transplant patients, and they weren’t sure that this call was the real thing.

Suzanne Simpson: One Woman’s Heart – Part Two
Suzanne decided it was time to get a complete physical. She was having trouble catching her breath.
Climbing the stairs was too difficult. “Maybe I’m just a little out of shape” she thought.
Her doctor said, “the EKG doesn’t look good” and ordered another round of tests. He scheduled her for an echocardiogram, ultra-sound and more. When the nurses had her all hooked up, they told her to sit down.
“We’ll be right back” they said.
When the nurses returned, they told Suzanne they weren’t going to go through with the tests. They had seen something that bothered them, and called her doctor. He wanted her to see a cardiologist immediately.
