Hamilton Naki & Christian Barnard: The Untold Truth Behind the World's First Heart Transplant

Cape Town, 1967 – The first human heart was successfully transplanted from one person to another by Dr. Christian Barnard. Barnard experienced a meteoric rise into the world of glamour and the jet set, unlike any other doctor before or since. The first heart transplant took place in a country with the most radical race laws in the world — the team of the first heart transplant was presented to the international press as entirely white. Post-Apartheid, 2003 – A Black man named Hamilton Naki suddenly claimed he had been part of the team during the first heart transplant in 1967. In an interview with an American TV station, Hamilton Naki said that he had carried the donor’s heart from Denise Darvall into the adjoining operating theater and had helped Barnard transplant it into Washkansky’s open chest. Naki died in 2005. Everyone who knew him, Black or white, spoke of him with great respect. He was an honest worker, a very talented surgeon, hardworking but humble. Naki worked for decades in the animal laboratory where Barnard carried out crucial experiments with dog hearts. Naki stood beside him — but who had performed the experiments, who was the inspiration? Naki or Barnard? The fact is: until the end of apartheid (1994), no one spoke a word about Hamilton Naki. Only after apartheid was he “discovered” and celebrated internationally as a hero, like Barnard. Why? What happened during all the years Naki worked and researched in the animal lab while receiving a gardener’s wage? Naki stood out for his dexterity and precision. Under apartheid, Black people were forbidden to work in an operating room. According to Naki, Barnard managed to include him in the team — on the condition he keep it secret. This version is disputed by contemporaries. What is undisputed is Naki’s extraordinary talent. While Barnard gained fame and honors, Naki continued working at the hospital, where — not Barnard — he taught most of the 3,000 postgraduate students from around the world who came to Cape Town to learn the art of organ transplantation. He received no pay increase. He was still paid a gardener’s wage, lived in a room in Langa, and with his meager income supported 24 family members in his home village. Christian Barnard (1922–2001) grew up in 1920s South Africa as the son of a minister in Beaufort West, a sleepy little town in the semi-desert Karoo. Christian Barnard also seemed fascinated by the insides of living creatures as a boy. He moved to Cape Town, where he studied medicine with discipline and ambition. Thanks to his good grades, he received a scholarship to further his training in the United States. He returned with a farewell gift that would decisively influence his destiny: a heart-lung machine. This was a prerequisite for heart transplantation. In the early 1960s there was a worldwide race among doctors and hospitals to be the first to succeed in a heart transplant. Christian Barnard and his brother Marius gained the necessary experience in the animal lab, where — with a team of Black staff — they transplanted dozens of dog hearts. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 - Introduction ▷ 0:04:45 - Early Life of Dr. Christian Barnard & Hamilton Naki ▷ 0:12:25 - Racial Discrimination ▷ 0:19:49 - Groote Schuur Hospital ▷ 0:23:33 - Heart Transplantation ▷ 0:26:12 - Protests ▷ 0:44:00 - Apartheid Government ▷ 0:52:50 - Third Heart Transplantation ▷ 1:01:04 - Religion ▷ 1:06:15 - Secret Funds ▷ 1:09:55 - End of Apartheid, Nelson Mandela ▷ 1:17:10 - Death of Christian Barnard ▷ 1:19:35 - The Truth ▷ 1:32:50 - Credits #documentary #fulldocumentaries #heart #hearttransplantation #cardiacarrest #medicine #medicalmiracles #ironman #WocomoDOCS ------- Subscribe to wocomoDOCS: https://goo.gl/sBmGkp Follow us on Facebook:   / wocomo   ------- Original Title: Hidden Heart Directed by Christina Karrer & Werner Schweizer © 2007, Licensed by Lichtblick ------- Documentaries about politics, society and science produced by leading studios around the world.
