On April 21, 2010, Howard Irving Scott, III, of Macon, Georgia, received a new kidney at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. The kidney came to him as part of a six-person paired kidney transplant "chain," in which three recipients and three donors were cross-matched. One of the participants was a friend of his, Casey Campbell. Although Scott did not receive Campbell's kidney, her participation in the program made the "chain" transplant possible, saving Scott the possibility of waiting five years on a kidney.
