You know, I always assumed that certain jobs and careers were off limits to transplantees - but this story makes me think again.
A gentleman named Paul Hudson has just joined the New South Wales Police Force - six years after a kidney transplant.
There you go! I erroneously thought that being a police officer and a transplantee were mutually exclusive. And not through pessimistic reasons - just being realistic (the new kidney usually sits in a relatively exposed place in the body, unlike native kidneys).
Its always useful to be shown another way of thinking.
