Gave My Dad a Kidney

Chris Gethard
About this episode

This caller gave her dad a kidney just a few weeks ago. She called in to talk with Gethard about the importance of living donation, but this conversation ended up being about so much more: overwhelming loss, unbelievable resilience, and why sometimes you just have to laugh so you don’t lose it. If you’re interested in learning more about living donation, here’s a place to start: organdonor.gov
