St. Vincent Medical Center Liver Transplant Program

St. Vincent’s has shut down its liver donation program after discovering that a Saudi national was given an organ transplant two years ago that should have gone to a higher priority patient at another hospital. St. Vincent staff members then falsified documents to hide the procedure. Larry speaks with experts in the field of organ transplant including Gus Valdespino, President of St. Vincent Medical Center, and Brian Stuart, Director of Communication for OneLegacy, the non-profit federally designated Organ Procurement Organization serving the greater Los Angeles.
