Today was World Kidney Day, a day aimed at awareness of
kidney health. Hooray! How do I know this, well because I stumbled across it by
accident when I was searching again for an article I read a couple of weeks on
the BBC website about a breakthrough in 3D printing of human organs.* If the
BBC’s own search capability wasn’t so crap I’d never have found out about World
Kidney Day, or at least not today (in case you’re wondering I found the article
via Google). It’s quite funny really, given my own rather obvious interest in
kidney issues that I had to stumble across a major initiative by accident,
maybe I need to sign up to a few more resources to keep in the loop?
* I’ve been meaning to write a post about how encouraging
some of these medical breakthroughs are to someone like me who is likely to
need a transplant in the future. I’m fortunate to be living at a time when such
developments are happening, and be at a point in my life (and disease) where
such things could bring meaningful benefit). A subject I’ll hopefully have time
to revisit in the next few weeks
