In 2018, 35,268 organ transplants were performed in the United States. Over 58,000 people were added to the transplant list in 2018. Every 10 minutes, a new patient is added to the organ waiting list. By this time tomorrow, 144 anxious and hopeful contenders will add their names to “the list” while 15 list veterans will be removed for burial, and 16 will be removed being too sick for a transplant.
