How do kidney transplants work? | Alexander H. Toledo
In 1954, Joseph Murray attempted a type of kidney swap that no doctor had tried before. The surgery was a success, and the patient would go on to live with the transplanted organ thanks to one key factor: it came from his identical twin. 70 years later, nearly 100,000 kidneys are transplanted annually in the US alone. So how does this surgery work today? Alexander H. Toledo explains the procedure. [Directed by Biljana Labović, narrated by Addison Anderson]. After the talk, Shoshana speaks with Leilani Graham, a writer and healthcare consultant, who survived four cardiac arrests and then a heart transplant about her personal trials and the realm of organ transplants.
