Humans have been performing transplants for over 3,000 years, since long before operating rooms or anaesthesia existed. Today, around 150,000 complete organs are transplanted each year worldwide. This episode introduces us to the world of transplants, from the doctors of yesteryear and their dubious attempts at transplants (including grafting chimpanzee testicles onto men in a quest for virility) to those of our future, who will render the notion of rejection obsolete… In the operating room, we witness a life-changing kidney transplant for one patient.
