I saw this on CNN the other day - so terribly sad. Livers are so much more difficult to transplant than kidneys and/or hearts.

Have you ever met anyone who donated a kidney - a living donor? I have, and they are very special people. The man I took care of donated a kidney to his best friend since 2nd grade - they were in their mid-30s at the time of surgery. I was honored to have been involved with his care.

And then there are those multiple transplants - some involving up to 12 people from coast to coast. Fantastic!!

While speaking of transplants, did any of you watch Boston Med, on ABC this summer? Fantastic series, ending with the transplant of a man's face. It had me in tears - the emotion involved between donors family and recipient. Think about it - taking a liver, kidney, heart - those are all inside, unseen. But to take a face is to take the person you saw every day.
