DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TRANSPLANT SURGEON! 

Thank you so much for what you do! I received my liver, small intestine and pancreas 7.5 years ago, and I wouldn’t be alive without doctors like you!

I appreciate you so! As a daughter of a kidney transplant recipient and having the privilege to meet the donors family, I am grateful! Thank you for all that you do!

Thankyou for sharing this journey, so thankful to give out clear picture of what it takes to

With love and thanks for all you do! I was 100% sensitized after two kids and three or four units of blood over years so I needed a kidney with all 6 matching antigens. I had PKD so was not on dialysis, and one of many friends and relatives became my swap ( I didn’t know this until she called to surprise me - I asked people not to tell me if they wanted to donate so it could truly be comfortable for them) . They could not build a chain despite my blood type (AB) Anyhow, only one year after getting my active status, I got a zero HLA mismatch from an unrelated cadaver on the opposite coast ON MY BIRTHDAY. All because of transplant surgeons and my donor family and their person 💙💚

Incredible! Thanks for all you do!

Dr. Raga, May God work through your hands while you do his work! Blessings to you and your family!!❤

You're awesome! Thanks for your services!

Thank you for sharing the wonderful experience. Thats amazing and I’m so happy for you! I understand that feeling of looking back at where you were 13 years ago to now! It’s an amazing and grateful feeling ❤❤ Sending all my love

So much respect for you... you are a 🌟

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!!

I admire you as a woman in the dominance field by men. I wish you all the best

The extraordinary lives of surgeons, amazing stuff! These are easily the most demanding jobs on the planet. Combination of high intellect, emotional strength, subject matter expertise and nerves of steel that go into making you the heroes that you are! Keen to follow your amazing stories.

I commend all your hard work to be able to do what you do! I am an organ donor myself. One day I hope I can help others.😊

Bless the family of the donor. Someone made the decision to donate multiple organs from their loved one.

Congratulations for 100k subscribers , love from India ❤️

Received a Liver in 2010 and have been doing great ever since. Thanks for all you do.

Ur doing an amazing job god bless u

Would love if u keep sharing videos 😊

I’ll stick to social work Monday-Friday 9-5:00pm. All state Holidays off and 1 month a year vacation not to mention 5 personal days.

Hey Dr. Raga, Thank so much for all efort to produce this video. I have one question, How much earn a transplant surgeon in 2024 (an average)?

Dear you are a amazing lady

yas !!!!!!!

After finshed the fellowship ;the hours of work does remain same as a fellow or there are alimit of hours ?I need answer for this Q please cuz I thinking about this speciality iam aGS now

I think it’s interesting how the doctor goes to pick up the organ themselves! I saw this on the Netflix show, Emergency NYC (previously called Lennox Hill) where a trauma transplant specialist was featured. It was really cool to see. Did you see that, Dr. Raga?

Nice video💓💓 Your hair is attractive🙊, please tell us about the care routine you follow to maintain your hair, because as medical students, we lose the charm of our hair day by day😭💔.

So easily u talk organ procurement....like we go to market to buy fish😊

Dear Dr. Raga, I went to residency in West Virginia and had a very not good experience. So please be weary as not all places can be good.

❤❤

How did u get a private jet ?

Good job and looking lovely lady 🌹

That rainbow 🌈🌈🌈 knew you had arrived.

I have a question. I do appreciate you may not get around to this as you seem pretty busy ;) but here goes. As someone who is fascinated by the medical world and after watching this vlog (first ever vlog of your I have ever seen) it prompted a question. I dont have any connections to the medical world so forgive me if my words dont make sense. So for me, the layman, I would have thought that this type of surgery is like a pinnacle in the surgery world, bit like brain surgery? So my question is this, as someone at (what I think) is a pinnacle area of surgery, could you perform lets say an appendectomy, or other general, less intense surgery? Or would someone in the general surgery arena be way better than you? I hope I am making sense? Or would you have had to go through all types of surgery to get to where you are today? Anyhoos, I hope I have made sense.

Where are you from??

Just curious, after reaching home, did you have to go back to work that Sunday in the evening for another shift?

❤

Hey Doc! .Very inspirational journey . Can you please navigate n guide me through ur journey

My had a heart and liver transplant my 28 23 amazing god bless her donor and you

What are loops

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

As a surgeon in the US do you not have limits on the number of hours you work, I understand that surgeons in the EU do. Fatigue is a widely recognised factor in human error, especially in the aviation industry. I guess the difference being if a pilot calls it a day due to fatigue and a replacement cant be found the service doesn’t run, what’s a couple of hundred angry passengers. If a replacement surgeon can’t be found a patient may die.

Do you sing in your past time..your name suggests a music connection

So am how long does it take to become a transplant surgeon leave alone Google answers

How many transplant u do in a day ?

There needs a rule for organ transplants that people who caused themselves to get into the position of needing a transplant by smoking , drinking alcohol or doing drugs shouldn't be eligible for transplants they should be declined because they'll just do it all over again since smokers and alcoholics can't keep away from the toxic stuff , the only patients that should be eligible for transplants are patients who have never smoked cigarettes or consumed alcohol.

Why is she traveling with sirens on?

What state are you based out of

I spent many years flying an air ambulance aircraft and operated many organ retrieval flights. The medical teams always appeared very somber. Grizzly business I guess.

This woman makes an out the ass level of money i am sure

Why private jet? Isn’t that super costly

By keeping Drs on shift for so long without sleep, doesn't that make the chance of human error higher? I know how precious these donor organs are, and I would hate to see them at risk due to the surgeons being so exhausted. No hate to this amazing doctor by the way, I think she is incredible. I am more hating on the system, that's making these doctors exhausted

I stumbled across your channel. As a military veteran people will thank me for my service, makes me uncomfortable, and the reason for that is because I know REAL HEROES are people like you, doing this type of stuff daily, and no one ever stop and says thank you. I want to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much for everything that you do and Doctors like you❣️ You are HEROES!!! I hope one day you will sit and think about how important you are to humanity, if you haven’t already done so. Americans are extremely grateful for human beings like you❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️
