More than 90,000 people in the United States await a kidney transplant. But that number is two less, thanks to a Chicago doctor who says she just wanted to help.

(Northwestern Medicine via AP)Surgeons in Chicago have given a new set of lungs to a young woman with severe lung damage from the coronavirus. We are anticipating that she will have a full recovery, said Dr. Rade Tomic, medical director of the hospital's lung transplant program. Doctors waited six weeks for her body to clear the virus before considering a transplant. They are typically hard to find and patients often wait weeks on the transplant list. The Chicago patient was in bad shape, with signs that her heart, kidneys and liver were beginning to fail, so she quickly moved up in line, Bharat said.
