A diary of sorts documenting my journey as a Multiple Organ Donor. I become an anonymous living liver donor on September 14th, 2009, and donated my left kidney anonymously on November 19th, 2010

Did You Know......
The lung transplant team at Toronto General Hospital performed 102 lung transplants in 2009 setting a new record for lung transplants at TGH in a single year!
As a result of a surgical technique refined at TGH last year, the one-year survival rate for liver transplant patients has increased to 95 percent.
Several firsts were developed at the TGH, including:
-Canada's largest HIV/AIDS clinic, the Immunodeficiency Clinic - 1994
-World's first successful double lung transplant - 1986
-Clinical use of the anticoagulant Heparin - 1935
-World's first successful single lung transplant - 1983
-First external heart pacemaker used in open heart resuscitation - 1950
-The development and first clinical use of insulin in the treatment of diabetes - 1922
