Doctors at Hyderabad's Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences conducted a cutting-edge "breathing lung transplant" on a middle-aged patient Saturday. The patient was reportedly suffering from end-stage lung disease and had been waiting for a donor's lung since August. This is a major achievement as only a handful of nations—the United States and Canada—have conducted such a transplant so far.
