In Short: A 16-year-old boy with no hope for survival
without a lung transplant undergoes a controversial live donor
procedure. No donor lungs are available and the boy's time is quickly
running out, so Dr. Austin reluctantly agrees to allow the boy's
father and sister, who has Down's syndrome, to donate portions of
their lungs, although she is torn about allowing a handicapped donor
to make such a critical decision. Meanwhile, Dr. Hancock's close
friend and mentor is horrified to learn that his daughter has the
sickle cell anemia gene, which is extremely rare in Caucasians.
Meanwhile, Dr. Grad discovers that she's pregnant, just as Dr. Kronk
announces he's going to South America for four months, while Dr.
Shutt continues to grapple with his loss of motor control by trying a
new biofeedback treatment.
