'Today marks a new beginning' for Rick Slayman and his loved ones, he said after being discharged from the Massachusetts General Hospital.
Rick Slayman, whose body is the home of a medical breakthrough, was discharged from the hospital after receiving the first genetically edited pig kidney transplant.
The four-hour-long surgery on March 16 was a success, and now, two weeks later, an overjoyed Rick was allowed to go home for a “new beginning.”“This moment – leaving the hospital today with one of the cleanest bills of health I’ve had in a long time – is one I wished would come for many years,” Rick said in a Wednesday statement.
Unfortunately, both heart transplant recipients passed away weeks after their operations, underscoring how such procedures are as risky as they are groundbreaking.
