unbelievable organ transplant stories

Recently, the world's largest series of organ transplants took place, where 60 patients exchanged 30 kidneys in a domino chain of events across 11 states in the US.
The arrangement involved a number of people agreeing to give a kidney to a stranger in return for their sick relative receiving one matching their blood and antibody type.
Think the strange tale is like an episode right out of popular hit show "House"?

1. Woman receives kidney from husband's lover
When a 34-year-old Turkish woman discovered that she would die without a kidney transplant, her unlikely saviour came in the form of her husband's mistress. 
Meliha Avcı's kidneys had both failed her 12 years ago, resulting in the need for dialysis three times a week, four hours per session.
During this time, her husband of 16 years, Mehmet Avcı, met another woman while accompanying his wife on a hospital trip.
After getting to know 34-year-old Ayse Imdat, Mehmet asked her to move to his mother's home, under a pretence that she was the new babysitter for the couple's son.
After his wife found out about the affair, she pleaded with her husband to marry Imdat after she died.
As Meliha's condition continued to deteriorate, Imdat made the suggestion that Meliha be saved with one of her kidneys, as the two women shared the same blood type.
Upon Imdat's insistence that she take her kidney, Meliha agreed.
"We shared a husband, and now we shared a kisney," she reportedly said.
She added that she has her husband and Imdat to thank for completely changing her life. Imdat on her part has promised to continue taking care of Meliha after the surgery.
