transplant_kidney_yellow Working with the transplant team
It’s fine. I mean, I like the people. It all depends on how you define work with them! You have to work with them on something that’s not great. I mean: “Oh, you have to have a biopsy every–” three years or something…. For something like that, you don’t want to work with them, because it’s not something you like! But the people themselves are fine. They’re good at their jobs.

Just be yourself in front of them. Tell them the truth, don’t hold anything back, because it’s better to be safe than sorry. Like, if you’ve been having a pain somewhere for a long time, tell them, because although it might require a couple tests, you don’t want to get sicker because of something you didn’t tell them.
