This guy's right on the money. I just watched the episode. Bobby never rejected his heart, the problem was he developed an infection in his brain due to a weakened immune system caused by the drugs he had to take for the new heart. It was a catch 22, to treat the infection they would have to stop with the anti-rejection drugs which would've caused him to reject his heart and certain death. He had a slightly better chance just hoping the antibiotics would be enough to treat the infection even though the doctors were doubtful this would work with his weakened immune system, and he sadly succumbed to his infection. Almost 20 years later it's still the saddest thing I ever saw on TV besides the Futurama with Fry's dog.
