Transplants

Whatto! Organ doners....................

Yesterday in the news a woman has become the first person in the world to be given an entirely laboratory-engineered organ!..............

Claudia Castillo's own stem cells were used to create an artificial airway which had collapsed after she suffered a serious tuberculosis infection!......

The 30-year-old Columbian-born mother-of-two has also received no immunosuppressive drugs!...........

So far doctors have seen no hint of Ms Castillo's immune system rejecting the transplant!....

Wow!..............

That remided me of a conversation between two chaps in a restaurant.......
They go to the urinals when Kevin noticed his friend Peter is very well endowed!....

Peter proudly admits "It's a transplant. I had it done at Harley Street. It cost 2,000 pounds, but as you can see, it's well worth every penny."

So Kevin arranged a visit the same doctor on Harley Street.........

Six months later, the two chaps meet up again at the same restaurant............

Kevin explains, "I took your advice, but you were robbed. I got mine for 1000 pounds."

So they go back to the restroom to compare. "No wonder," Peter says............

............"That's my old one!"

Tallyho!

best wishes - Lord Noel
