Kidney Transplant

I assisted in a Kidney Transplant on a recipient suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5 secondary to interstitial nephritis. It was really a punishment to assist in a kidney transplant. You'd retract using 2 deavers upwards and the retractors must also be "toed-in." It's okay if you'd just do it for 30 minutes. But no, you'd do it for at least 4 hours. Dr. Liquete was the kidney transplant surgeon and she's fondly called Dr. Li-K-T, hehehe. Anyways, the one that I assisted was the last for the month because of the upcoming Holy Week.
