"You have other people they want to be a hero. And that may sound trite. This is an incredible way to be a hero," said Dr. Eric Siskind.TROPHY CLUB, Texas — Several years ago, realizing that several members of his church congregation were suffering from kidney problems and likely in need of an eventual transplant, Chas Morse says he decided to get tested so that he could perhaps give one of his kidneys to one of those friends.
"I applaud these kinds of people and I know there are a lot of people out there who want to do good," said In his case, they definitely were usable. This past December, after a battery of tests to determine that the 67-year-old runner and avid cyclist was in excellent health, Dr. Siskind and his surgical team removed one of Chas Morse's kidneys and performed a successful transplant for a patient in an adjoining operating room. To date, that person is still someone Morse knows very little about and hasn't yet met.
