A chain of kindness

What would inspire a person to give up a healthy kidney to someone they've never met? Dr. Aleksandra Gmurczyk had several reasons. As a nephrologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, she wanted to educate her patients. Kidney disease is a taxing condition, sometimes requiring several days of dialysis a week. Yet Gmurczyk still saw some patients hesitate when given the opportunity for a kidney transplant. Then, of course, there was the chance to help save someone's life. Gmurczyk's decision to donate her kidney actually led to a chain reaction. It was a kidney-paired donation, which happens when a person is willing to donate a kidney to someone in their life who needs it, but they aren’t a good match, so they swap recipients with another donor. So Gmurczyk's kidney went to a woman named Ginger. Ginger's husband, Gary, was not a match for his wife, but for his part of the deal, he gave his kidney to another recipient. In the end, two lives were changed, and Gmurczyk has a story to tell her patients so they can feel more comfortable about changing theirs too.

Posture of the future. Just sayin'
