No matter how many kidney transplants Indiana University Health transplant surgeon William Goggins performs—and he’s now done more than 3,000—he remains enthusiastic about his work.

“I wouldn’t say there’s any sort of routine or mundane kidney transplant, and there are some that are definitely a lot more challenging than others,” Goggins said. “But for me, every transplant has a nuance, so it always keeps me engaged and stimulated, and it’s just something I like to do.”

But if you asked him 3,000 surgeries ago whether he wanted kidney transplants to become his specialty, he probably would have said no.
