Abstract:
At the 14th International Small Bowel Transplant Symposium, (ISBTS2015) held in Buenos Aires, a session to recognize the pioneers that have dedicated their lives to make our current field possible was organized. Dr Thomas Starzl received the first Living Legend Award. A video interview was obtained at his office, edited, and later presented during the scientific meeting. More than 600 people saw Dr Starzl's interview, which captivated the audience for 40 minutes, before smiles, tears and the final applause erupted at the conclusion. We would like to share this video with all of you to inspire the current generations and the generations to come. The manuscript has the main parts of the interview, which can also be accessed at http://isbts2015.tts.org/starzl.mp4.
