For those of you who get HBO (I don't know if this is available on
DVD), this is an excellent movie that will have some familiar names
(Blalock, Taussig). If you don't get HBO, it's worth reading the story
at the web site, as well as some of the personal stories posted by
readers.
And here's an interesting site for MTs:

children born with Fallot's tetralogy - «blue baby» syndrome.
