mediclopedia: 60 Lives, 30 Kidneys, All Linked What made the domino chain of 60 operations possible was the willingness of a Good Samaritan, Mr. Ruzzamenti, to give the initial kidney, expecting nothing in return. Its momentum was then fueled by a mix of selflessness and self-interest among donors who gave a kidney to a stranger after learning they could not donate to a loved one because of incompatible blood types of antibodies. Their loved ones, in turn, were offered compatible kidneys as part of the exchange. Chain 124, as it was labeled by the nonprofit National Kidney Registry, required lockstep coordination over four months among 17 hospitals in 11 states. It was born of innovations in computer matching, surgical technique and organ shipping, as well as the determination of a Long Island businessman named Garet Hil, who was inspired by his own daughter’s illness to supercharge the notion of “paying it forward.” Can you believe how unselfish people are? This is not only amazing in a medical point of view, but also great in seeing the good of man kind. Click through for the whole article, it is well worth the read.
