The Process of Accepting an Organ for Transplantation

In this episode Alin and Colby have a discussion with Dr. Ken Sutha, pediatric nephrologist and 2X kidney transplant recipient, and Dr. Silke Niederhaus, abdominal transplant surgeon and 2X kidney transplant recipient. They discuss the organ allocation process, taking donor call, and why organs are accepted for transplant or rejected. This great conversation shines some light on just how nuanced these decisions can be. Email: [email protected]: @bothsidesofthestethoscope Twitter: @bsotsthethoscope
