3/3/2008 - Living On Both Sides of the Knife

Can you imagine what it must be like as a transplant surgeon to undergo liver transplant surgery yourself? Probably as difficult as a doctor trying to imagine what kidney patients to go through just waiting for the results of their continual tests! Steven Woodle, M.D., transplant surgeon at the University of Cincinnati Hospitals, Department of Surgery, who "transplanted" Stephen Furst's kidney, has been on both sides of the knife. A renowned surgeon and a leader in transplant surgery, Steve Woodle has a lot of wisdom and hope to offer those not sure about getting a kidney transplant. And just imagine what Stephen can do with this topic!
