Lesley Ross, 49, from Corstorphine, became the 1000th patient to receive a kidney at the ERI’s transplant unit since the kidney transplant service transferred from the Western General Hospital in 1995, and said the care she had received had been second-to-none.
She was today set to meet Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon at the hospital as she announced nearly a million pounds in new funding for the transplant unit.
Ms Ross, a consultant paediatrician at the Sick Kids Hospital, was born with polycystic kidney disease, which causes progressive renal failure over many years.
