Jamie Yeo Was Born With Only 1 Kidney
Jamie Yeo, a famous local host of sport channel, was born with only 1 kidney. She revealed it in her blog. She wrote:
I’ve been following the ongoing controversy involving the legality of organ donation with much interest due partly to the fact that I have renal agenesis. It’s nothing serious. It just means I was born with a single kidney. The condition is actually quite common as it occurs in one out of 750 people. And even though there are no serious or fatal long-term problems for people with one kidney, I can’t help but empathize greatly with those who are in a situation where they need a kidney or an organ transplant because theirs isn’t working anymore. Obviously, my empathy arises from the fact that I’m in a rather precarious situation because unlike “normal” people, I don’t have another kidney to fall back on in case one fails.
