We need more stories like this! This helps to remove the apprehension some people have about donating a kidney.

I too read this article and was very impressed a Dr would do this. I too wish there were more Drs who were like this one. Thanks for sharing!

While it would be nice to have more doctors do this, it would be even nicer to have more people do this.

WOW! I have Sjogren's and almost 67. Though this was a wonderful, life-changing gift and act of selflessness, I would not qualify for transplant due to Sjogren's, but more importantly to me, I would not want my children to decrease their lifespan to increase mine a few extra years. I love them and understand that my time here on earth is transient 🙂🙏❤
