With love and thanks for all you do! I was 100% sensitized after two kids and three or four units of blood over years so I needed a kidney with all 6 matching antigens. I had PKD so was not on dialysis, and one of many friends and relatives became my swap ( I didn’t know this until she called to surprise me - I asked people not to tell me if they wanted to donate so it could truly be comfortable for them) . They could not build a chain despite my blood type (AB) Anyhow, only one year after getting my active status, I got a zero HLA mismatch from an unrelated cadaver on the opposite coast ON MY BIRTHDAY. All because of transplant surgeons and my donor family and their person 💙💚
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful story! I can only imagine what you went through! Hearing stories like yours is what makes my job so satisfying 😊 Congratulations on your new kidney 🌷

Thank you so much for what you do! I received my liver, small intestine and pancreas 7.5 years ago, and I wouldn’t be alive without doctors like you!
What an inspiring story! Thank you for sharing! These stories truly make my job satisfying!
I appreciate you so! As a daughter of a kidney transplant recipient and having the privilege to meet the donors family, I am grateful! Thank you for all that you do!
It is truly rewarding to see our patients get a new start in life after recieving donated organs! Thank you so much for your words!
This is the first video of Dr. Raga I’ve seen. She’s a very interesting and beautiful woman. It’s good to know doctors like this are out there.
Thank you for your kind words!
I admire you as a woman in the dominance field by men. I wish you all the best

Dr. Raga, May God work through your hands while you do his work! Blessings to you and your family!!❤

So glad to hear your wonderful story! Thanks for sharing! Makes me so happy 😊
The extraordinary lives of surgeons, amazing stuff! These are easily the most demanding jobs on the planet. Combination of high intellect, emotional strength, subject matter expertise and nerves of steel that go into making you the heroes that you are! Keen to follow your amazing stories.
Thank you so much for that wonderful message!
Thank you for all you do! You are very special ❤️ God bless you 🙏
Ur making life possible for someone else gid bless you day in and day out
Love the brains this takes to do
Best procurement flight catering was cold seafood platter. Second best was club sandwiches.
Hai Dr Raga ...Happy to see you after long gap . I am staff nurse in dubai hospital....stay blessed...May God bless you abundantly
I’ll stick to social work Monday-Friday 9-5:00pm. All state Holidays off and 1 month a year vacation not to mention 5 personal days.
So much respect for you... you are a 🌟
Dear Dr. Raga, I went to residency in West Virginia and had a very not good experience. So please be weary as not all places can be good.
I think it’s interesting how the doctor goes to pick up the organ themselves! I saw this on the Netflix show, Emergency NYC (previously called Lennox Hill) where a trauma transplant specialist was featured. It was really cool to see. Did you see that, Dr. Raga?
They are going to extract the organ it's not just there waiting for them
@@nvgwd3r I believe it depends on the hospital systems b/c in the show I referenced, the doctor who traveled was NOT the doctor who extracted the organ. The other hospital had their own transplant surgeon who was handling that. So you’re not completely correct.
@@InternetGirl1093 sounds inefficient to send a doctor just to basically hold a cooler tbh, that's just a waste of time
@@nvgwd3r Well. Write the hospitals and tell them. I’m sure there’s good reason for the system.
Ur doing an amazing job god bless u
I appreciate your words! Thank you so much! ☺️
I commend all your hard work to be able to do what you do! I am an organ donor myself. One day I hope I can help others.😊
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!!
Hey Dr. Raga, Thank so much for all efort to produce this video. I have one question, How much earn a transplant surgeon in 2024 (an average)?
Thank u sister ❤
Love u n ur vlogs
U r really a great inspiration ❤
So easily u talk organ procurement....like we go to market to buy fish😊
Nice video💓💓
Your hair is attractive🙊, please tell us about the care routine you follow to maintain your hair, because as medical students, we lose the charm of our hair day by day😭💔.
I stumbled across your channel. As a military veteran people will thank me for my service, makes me uncomfortable, and the reason for that is because I know REAL HEROES are people like you, doing this type of stuff daily, and no one ever stop and says thank you.
I want to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much for everything that you do and Doctors like you❣️
You are HEROES!!! I hope one day you will sit and think about how important you are to humanity, if you haven’t already done so.
Americans are extremely grateful for human beings like you❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️
Thanks for sharing, love your vlog.
Dr Raga i think you are most special person may God watch over you forever in the name of Jesus Amen
Great Video Doc!

That rainbow 🌈🌈🌈 knew you had arrived.
Good job and looking lovely lady 🌹
Just curious, after reaching home, did you have to go back to work that Sunday in the evening for another shift?
Sunday morning I went back into the hospital to round on my patients. There are no “maximum work hours” in a week for transplant fellowships. So we do as many hours as we have to 😅
@@DoctorRaga wow! What a day! Congrats tho on your success!!!!
I have a question. I do appreciate you may not get around to this as you seem pretty busy ;) but here goes. As someone who is fascinated by the medical world and after watching this vlog (first ever vlog of your I have ever seen) it prompted a question. I dont have any connections to the medical world so forgive me if my words dont make sense. So for me, the layman, I would have thought that this type of surgery is like a pinnacle in the surgery world, bit like brain surgery? So my question is this, as someone at (what I think) is a pinnacle area of surgery, could you perform lets say an appendectomy, or other general, less intense surgery? Or would someone in the general surgery arena be way better than you? I hope I am making sense? Or would you have had to go through all types of surgery to get to where you are today? Anyhoos, I hope I have made sense.
Hey Doc! .Very inspirational journey . Can you please navigate n guide me through ur journey
Heyy there,can I DM you?
As a surgeon in the US do you not have limits on the number of hours you work, I understand that surgeons in the EU do.
Fatigue is a widely recognised factor in human error, especially in the aviation industry. I guess the difference being if a pilot calls it a day due to fatigue and a replacement cant be found the service doesn’t run, what’s a couple of hundred angry passengers. If a replacement surgeon can’t be found a patient may die.
In Transplant we do not have limits on the hours we work per week. That’s because of the nature of the job, it’s unpredictable. We can have any number of transplants per week based on organ offers/availability!
But as General Surgery (and other specialty) residents do have limits on the number of hours they work per week.
@@DoctorRaga I can imagine,. Work all day implanting a live donor organ then a cadaver organ becomes available for someone else, and your’e the only one to do the work.
❤❤
After finshed the fellowship ;the hours of work does remain same as a fellow or there are alimit of hours ?I need answer for this Q please cuz I thinking about this speciality iam aGS now
Do you sing in your past time..your name suggests a music connection
My mother has always been into singing! So she gave my sister and myself musical names!
@@DoctorRaga nice do hear me out at times
@@DoctorRaga Which part of India do you belong?
❤
😊🌷
yas !!!!!!!
What are loops
Loupes are highly magnified glasses that surgeons use to make the tiny nerves and vessels that they are working on appear larger and easier to dissect.
Where are you from??
How did u get a private jet ?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
So am how long does it take to become a transplant surgeon leave alone Google answers
Why is she traveling with sirens on?
We don’t have the time to be stuck in traffic when we are urgently trying to procure an organ(s) and bring it back to implant in the recipient. Hence the sirens.
How many transplant u do in a day ?
We do about 5-8 kidney transplants a week and about 2 liver transplants a week.
What type of surgeon are you
This woman makes an out the ass level of money i am sure
As she should. 2 lives in her hands.
By keeping Drs on shift for so long without sleep, doesn't that make the chance of human error higher? I know how precious these donor organs are, and I would hate to see them at risk due to the surgeons being so exhausted. No hate to this amazing doctor by the way, I think she is incredible. I am more hating on the system, that's making these doctors exhausted
What state are you based out of
New York!
There needs a rule for organ transplants that people who caused themselves to get into the position of needing a transplant by smoking , drinking alcohol or doing drugs shouldn't be eligible for transplants they should be declined because they'll just do it all over again since smokers and alcoholics can't keep away from the toxic stuff , the only patients that should be eligible for transplants are patients who have never smoked cigarettes or consumed alcohol.
I spent many years flying an air ambulance aircraft and operated many organ retrieval flights. The medical teams always appeared very somber. Grizzly business I guess.
Why private jet? Isn’t that super costly
no time to take commercial airplane. They have a limited time to get the organ and bring it back for transplantation
