Organ transporter pushes through snowstorm to get kidney to recipient on Christmas Eve
A Minnesota organ transporter and sheriff braced through heavy snow and high winds in two states to help a patient. Pushing through high winds, heavy snow and dangerous road conditions, an organ transport er was able to deliver a kidney on Christmas Eve before time ran out. Lucas Baker, a transport er for Trinity Medical Solutions' Midwest division, told ABC News that in his ten years of transport ing organs, he's gone the distance to get organs or medical personnel to patients. But he said his job on Dec. 23 was one of the toughest assignments he's undertaken because of the blizzard and subzero temperatures that he faced during the 400-mile trek. "My biggest fear was running out of gas. With the temps being subzero, you don't last long in that," Baker told ABC News.
