Introduction

Bapu jena is an economist, but also a medical doctor. In each episode she dissects fascinating questions at the sweet spot between health and economics. Today on our show we're swooming in on kidney transplants. People with kidney failure often go on dialysis to get a new organ. But that can be risky for other reasons - sometimes the patient's body rejects the organ or the new organ doesn't benefit from it. We'll hear about how some of those deaths could have been avoided.
