However, our list of &#8220;well-known patients&#8221; did expand during the final week of 2010.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, December 24th, Charles Schwab, the chairman and founder of Charles Schwab Corp., underwent successful heart valve surgery.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Charles Schwab, Heart Surgery Patient\" src=\"\/Images\/charles-schwab-heart-valve-replacement.jpg\" width=\"354\" height=\"281\" \/><br \/>\nCharles Schwab, 73, Heart Valve Surgery (Replacement) Patient<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>According to reports, Charles Schwab is resting comfortably and recuperating well from Friday&#8217;s surgery which was a heart valve replacement procedure.
