Kennedy and Joe Biden. The presently offered example was awarded to Joseph E. Murray, M.D., an American plastic surgeon who performed the first successful human kidney transplant on December 23, 1954. In the decades to follow this historic accomplishment, Murray was to continue advancing the field of transplantation and in 1990 was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and in 2005 was honored with the present Laetare Medal.
CONDITION: Medal shows no wear, few pinpoint edge nicks at upper-left; wooden base with few scuffs to its inner portion; glass dome excellent.
