Docology: Doctor, Then Patient

There is a massive shortage of organs available for people awaiting transplants – about 100,000 Americans are on the waiting list. But help may be on the way – from pigs, of all places.

Our guest on Docology has pioneered the transplantation of pig organs into humans – an extraordinary breakthrough that could end up saving millions of lives around the world.
