"An organ donation is really helping TWO people: the recipient, and the next person on the waiting list." -Dr. Goggins
About three weeks ago, IU performed a living kidney transplant. Of course, this is a wonderful thing, but in itself isn't particularly newsworthy. However, they decided to do this transplant involving two living (friends) patients--a kidney donor and a kidney recipient--live. Not on live television, but on social media via Twitter. This is called a 'twittercast' for those who aren't up-to-date with social media terminology.
