December 2 – At the University of Utah , 61-year-old retired dentist Barney Clark becomes the first person to receive a permanent artificial heart ; he lives for 112 days with the device.
Working Formulation adopted as a standard classification for non-Hodgkin lymphomas .
Atomic Energy of Canada creates the Therac-25 , a radiation treatment for cancer patients to remove tumors, however the treatment caused 6 deaths between 1985-87 after people were seriously burned by the number of rads, the correct dose of rads is 200-1,000 rads but the Therac-25 had 15,000-20,000 rads which is fatal. It was no longer used after 1987.
