A great living donor kidney transplant story from Penn Medicine @pennmedicine.bsky.social highlighting the benefits of live donor transplantation. You don’t have to be a relative to donate - you can just be a Philadelphia Union fan (and a hero). m.youtube.com/watch?v=5HH3...

In honor of Giving Tuesday, I donated to the American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS) today. Not (yet) on Bluesky but they support the research and education missions of the transplant surgery community. I’m proud to serve on their council and support their mission.
