I first met Dr. Timmins when I was working on a story about kidney transplants. And for someone that knows absolutely nothing about the human body, her patience is unparalleled so when I’d ask a stupid question like, does it really matter if we drink Evian or Fiji water to help prevent kidney disease, she humored me. The answer, by the way, (health-wise) is our kidneys can’t tell the difference so if you like Fiji water, you’re drinking it purely for taste. So I can keep buying the cheap ass bottled water from the store or drink from my fridge. But aside from that, one of the first things she told me was the kidney was her favorite organ. This show loves people that take pride in their work. No job is easy but when you’re in a position where you’re life is on the line, you need someone like Dr. Timmins, who actually cares and wants to do everything she can to save lives.
