Surinder Kaur Shares Perspective On Dr. Susan Lim
When Surinder arrived at the hospital, the 26-year-old was balding, suffering from liver cirrhosis and jaundice. She was given six months to live by doctors until Dr. Susan Lim offered her the opportunity to be the first liver transplant patient in Asia. Although she took the opportunity, she had no money to pay Dr. Susan Lim nor the hospital expenses associated with the surgery. Dr. Lim raised the $150,000 needed to pay for the hospital costs and medications, and provided her own services and on-going follow-up visits at no charge at all. Her generosity and compassion for her patients doesn't end there.

Six years after the surgery, Surinder found out through Dr. Susan Lim that she was pregnant. This was the dream that Surinder once thought was lost.
