Gift that keeps on giving
Man who donated kidney to father makes ring out of surgery staples
MAJOR Chinese dailies highlighted a man in Singapore who donated a kidney to his father and then made a wedding ring out of the titanium staples used in the surgery.
Customer service manager Shaun Nair, 29, said he wanted to keep a memory of “the most meaningful thing” he had ever done.
He said after being diagnosed with acute renal failure, his father thought of giving up as he did not want the dialysis cost to affect his family.
“We managed to convince him to undergo a transplant, only to find that it would take him eight years on the hospital’s waiting list.
“He had less than a year to live, so I decided to give him one of my kidneys,” he said.
Shaun, who is getting married soon, wanted to keep the staples used in the procedure and decided to craft them into his wedding ring.
