Watch: Hamilton hospital live streams kidney transplant


Today, Nagamani Turaga will give her husband the ultimate gift — and you’ll be able to watch it live.

Turaga is donating a kidney to her husband, Bhargav, starting at 1:30 p.m., and St. Joseph’s Healthcare in Hamilton is live streaming the operation, with doctors taking questions from inside and outside the operating room.

“I decided, and I offered,” Turaga told CBC News in an interview earlier this week. “But it’s a mutual decision and support. I just want him to be healthy.”

You can join in the discussion on social media and ask doctors questions by using the hashtag #stjoeslivestream.
