※ This video is from [Video Record: Hospital 24 Hours - A Wife's Gift], which aired on April 1, 2004. ◆ A Wife's Decision for Her Husband! This year marks the 17th anniversary of their marriage. Seven years ago, this couple, who had loved each other more than anyone else, were struck by misfortune. The wife, who was gaining recognition for her skills at her beauty salon, had a beautiful daughter who excelled in her studies, and a newly born son. They had nothing to envy. And the husband, who ran a small business and worked as hard as any other family. He knew his kidneys were somewhat fragile and required careful attention, but he had no idea that a little overwork could trigger a serious illness. When the husband fell ill, the business failed, leaving him in debt, and he had no choice but to run around frantically to pay off the debt, care for his ailing husband, and raise their two children. The wife was exhausted and heartbroken, but there was no one to turn to, let alone help. For seven years, my husband has lived like this, and he still needs hemodialysis three times a week to survive. With the onset of his illness, he underwent surgery to widen the blood vessels in his left arm. Over the past seven years, he has had hundreds of needle insertions, allowing the machine to filter his blood. Hemodialysis often causes dizziness and itching. The unsightly bulging veins on his left forearm make it impossible for him to wear short sleeves, even in the hot summer. At the beginning of this spring, the wife made a major decision for her husband: she would donate her kidney. Although her blood type is incompatible with his, she agreed to an "exchange transplant," where her kidney is given to another patient, and he receives a kidney from a donor. For the couple who have been lost in the dark tunnel for the past seven years, a ray of hope is now visible. The wife says she would have donated sooner if she had known about the exchange. The husband, constantly moved to tears by the guilt and gratitude for his wife's past hardships, wonders if he can repay the immense love she has shown him through the surgery. #OrganDonation #KidneyTransplant #Decision ✔KBS Documentary | KBS Official YouTube Channel [KBS Documentary] 🔔Subscribe👍Like➡️    / @kbsdocumentary   📝Contact: [email protected] ©️ KBS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ∙The current situation and content may differ slightly depending on the broadcast time. ∙Defamatory or malicious comments may be deleted by the moderator to protect the cast.
