transplant

Central Maine teen Shawn Seigars is doing what it takes to help save his brother Jacob's life. The Seigars family encourages others to do the same.

I couldn't help but wonder if it was you needing the kidney or a loved one. Either way, you are carrying a heavy burden. Heavy enough to advertise on your Rav4.

This almost seems like a scene from a mad cap movie like Airplane and it might be funny if it wasn't so very sad. A nurse at a hospital near Columbus Ohio accidentally took a living donor's good kidney, which was packed in a protective slush, removed it from the operating room, took it to a dirty utility room, and flushed it down the hopper.
