Transplant Chain Gives 10 People New Kidneys

In 2 days, 10 lives were radically changed through the gift of living donor organ donation. Surgeons at The Ohio State University set a new record by performing a synchronized chain of 20 procedures, culminating in 10 people having new-to-them kidneys. There are 104,840 people on the transplant waitlist, and 90,506 need a kidney. Because of this transplant chain, 10 people were removed from that list - hopefully shortening the waiting time for others.
