Take a seat onboard the Liver Jet

From private planes to facilitate retrieval, to special machines keeping the organ alive, to finding out if having a bank of organs ready to go is somewhere we will be in our lifetime – in this episode we cover it all.

We dive into the technology that makes organ retrieval and transplant possible. Joining us is Dr John Whitlam, the Clinical Team for Kidney Transplant at Austin Health and Dr Graham Starkey, one of our talented Liver Transplant Surgeons who jumps on board the plane to retrieve organs around Victoria and Tasmania.
