Link to UW webtv lung transplant documentary

I have attached a link to a video from University of Washington.  This short documentary tracks 2 UW patients who have undergone double lung transplants.  These patients have a different lung disease than Lonye.  Also, both of these  gentlemen were recently diagnosed, whereas Lonye was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (which is genetic) as an infant.  The last half of this program speaks about the transplant process.

For those of you that are interested, scroll down to the bottom of this page.  Click on the link.  It will bring up a list of programs available for viewing.  Go to the one titled "New Lungs - a gift of life".  Although this video is tastefully done, there are some images of an actual surgery (not recommended for small children, or Lonye).
