President George W. Bush met with patients, doctors and nurses who participated in the ground-breaking, twelve-patient "domino" kidney transplant in the Oval Office of the White House on April 23.
Aside from being what is believed to be to first-ever simultaneous paired donation transplant of six kidneys, White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolton's brother, Randall Bolton, was one of the patients.
