• Susan and Her Daughter Kristy Remember …

Susan and Kristy for StoryCorps

Listening to patients is what medical teams at Mayo Clinic do each day. To honor Mayo's 150th Anniversary, StoryCorps was asked to listen to and record several patient stories. Each Friday, until the end of 2014, a new story will be posted on the Mayo Clinic News Network.

Susan Sands and her daughter Kristy remember the amazing kidney transplant she received at Mayo Clinic in 2003. But the story begins 30 years earlier. Listen to Susan's Story.
