The organ transplantation industry is facing some serious challenges, as discussed by KFF Health News Midwest correspondent Cara Anthony on Apple News’ “Apple News Today” on September 23. Anthony highlighted the issues surrounding organ transplants and the need for improvement in the industry.
One of the stories shared by Anthony was about a surgical team that was ready to harvest a man’s organs until his doctor intervened.
