MEXICO CITY — A heart that was dropped on the ground while being transported to a hospital was successfully transplanted into a 28-year-old hairstylist.

Dr. Jaime Saldivar said Erika Hernandez doesn’t yet know that her new heart made national news when a medic stumbled and the plastic-wrapped heart tumbled out of a cooler onto the street two weeks ago. Saldivar said it will be up to the family to tell her.
