If perhaps the top transplant surgeon in the world won’t touch these organs, we wonder what makes Ghobrial, Mayo Arizona, and Abouljoud think they know something he doesn’t. Surgeons alleged that Ghobrial has “more than doubled” the size of his program through such questionable transplants, that “the guy at Mayo Clinic at Scottsdale has more than doubled theirs”; and that “Scottsdale went from being a medium-sized program to two years ago being the largest transplant program by volume in the country...I believe that was mostly through the expanded of organs, specifically OCS.”",
