Rare cases like this have led to changes in organ screening protocols.

    There was also a guy who got a lung transplant, and then it turned out the new lungs had cancer.

      And the recent transplant recipient who ended up with rabies.

      Nightmare fuel.

        Why we need to use stem cells and just start growing our own replacement organs. It can be done and it be great. No worries about rejects, or shit like this.

      the man’s abdominal rash was caused by the worms meandering through his skin.

      You can hardly dissect the thing before the operation. In this case it was a failure to screen the donor’s blood.

    They should have been tipped off by how his eyes glowed when they put the kidney in.

    I have a kidney transplant. New fear unlocked.

    Bonus trivia: They don’t take out the old kidneys, they just keep on adding new ones. I have 4 kidneys right now.

      Right now? Does that mean you’re planning on getting me more in the future, how many do you have to get before you gain superpowers?

        I will probably need another transplant in about 5 years. I’ll let you know if I’ve gained any powers then!
