I have a question about this episode #155 - Chris Sonnenday, M.D.: The history, challenges, and gift of organ transplantation and this The Turning Point. I would love to hear your thoughts on liver transplants, specifically in the case of my daughter, who had a liver transplant 11 years ago due to biliary atresia and has been doing amazingly well since then—without any issues or rejections. Her doctors call her the poster child for liver transplants, and her labs are all perfect. The only medication she is on is an anti-rejection medication, tacrolimus.
