Transplant Stories
"The Life You Give"
Synopsis:
Transplant Stories is a four-part documentary series following people undergoing urgent, life-saving organ transplants in British Columbia. We'll meet anxious patients living on borrowed time, waiting to be matched with vital organ donations and see first-hand the remarkable work of surgeons and others who save lives with extraordinary medical feats.
Episode Synopsis:
An organ retrieval team flies to Kelowna to obtain a liver from a dying man but faces losing the organ completely as time runs out. A woman with a condition that hardens her heart tissues finds that getting a transplant brings an unexpected emotional impact. A sister flies from her home in Colombia to donate a kidney to her ailing brother, but her smoking habit could scuttle everything.
