Document Summary
Riverside, calif. rick ruzzamenti admits to being a tad impulsive. He married a vietnamese woman he had only just met. And then a year ago, he decided in an instant to donate his left kidney to a stranger. In february 2011, the desk clerk at mr. ruzzamenti"s yoga studio told him she had recently donated a kidney to an ailing friend she had bumped into at target. Mr. ruzzamenti, 44, had never even donated blood, but the story so captivated him that two days later he called riverside community hospital to ask how he might do the same thing. Halfway across the country, in joliet, ill. , donald c. terry jr. needed a kidney in the worst way. Since receiving a diagnosis of diabetes-related renal disease in his mid-40s, he had endured the burning and bloating and dismal tedium of dialysis for nearly a year.
