The protagonist of this case needed to go to America in order to improve his training and he was finally given a fellowship in transplant surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. During Caicedo’s three years as a fellow, the number of Hispanic patients struck Caicedo on the kidney transplant waiting list. Not only were Hispanics the highest growing group on the transplant waiting list, they also waited the longest for transplants and died while waiting at higher rates than non-Hispanic whites or African-Americans.
Caicedo was additionally alarmed by Hispanic patients' lower usage of living donors for transplantation-they were symbolize not only as donors, but also as live donor transplant patients. In the latter stages of Caicedo’s fellowship in 2006, Caicedo wondered if the Hispanic population began to think about creating a system to address these hurdles, and ran into exceptional barriers to transplantation and living donor usage.
