Summary

If your lung were going to fail would you opt in for a double lung transplant? Jeremie knows his lungs are slowly getting to a point where they will no longer work. He has always said he'd opt out of double lung transplant and would rather let life end with the first set. Doctor John Granton (Respirologist and Organ Transplant Specialist) pops by the Sickboy studio to try and talk some sense into Jeremie. They talk about how doctors secretly use google for diagnosing, accessible parking hacks, the logistics of pulling dead lungs out of a human and the national campaign Breathing as One! Does Dr. John change Jeremie's mind about future lung transplant? Tune in to find out!
