Please share the titles when you have a chance.
You might enjoy these videos. I found them fascinating and informative! NOVA episode titled, “Transplanting Hope -https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/transplanting-hope/.
It is intense and very emotionally affecting. However, I gained an even stronger appreciation for all of the people who played a role in my “transplant journey.”
The Surgeon’s Cut, Episode 3, Living Donor, is another excellent show, available on Netflix -
https://www.netflix.com/us/title/81004466. It discusses some of the early groundbreaking transplant surgeries and portrays Dr. Nancy Ascher, the first woman to perform a liver transplant. It also follows a family preparing for a living donation from a daughter to her mother.

I watched Transplanting Hope twice, it was really good. I have not seen the other so I will look for that.
The best book I read is "When Death Becomes Life: Notes from a Transplant Surgeon" by Joshua D. Mezrich, MD.
Another is "Last Night in the OR" by Bud Shaw, MD: "Hundreds of Interlaced Fingers" by Vanessa Grubbs, MD and "Surviving Kidney Disease" by Michael Fisher MD.
I have a number I have not read yet sitting on the shelf-started a collection!
