SCHROEDER, AR- TIFICIAL HEART PATIENT: After living 620 days on a permanent plastic and metal pump for a heart, Bill Schroeder, the sec- ond permanent artificial heart patient in history, died after multiple strokes at Louisville's Humana Hospital Audubon. Schroeder died on August 6, 1986. Schroeder, a Japser, Ind. native, was best known for his high spirits immediately following the implant in November of 1984 when he told President Reagan he had been 'igetting a runaround in his attempts to win Social Security benefits. A Social Security representative showed up the next day with a check and was invited to feel the Jarvik-7 heart working in Schroeder's chest. He's also known for quaffing a beer within a few days of surgery. He called it the HCoors cure. At a news conference following Schroederis death, his son Mel advocated the continuation of the artificial heart pro- gram. He encouraged people not to think of his father's death as the end of the project, but tithe continuation of the beginning. BY JOHN S. FLAVELL Allen Hill
