Still dressed in his white lab coat and scrubs, Dr. Bodzin ran for half a mile, weaving between marathon runners, to retrieve the liver his 66-year-old patient desperately needed. "I had flagged down a police officer before I crossed the marathon, thankfully who agree to drive me back if I can get the liver," Dr. Bodzin said. "I think people are probably looking at me a little more odd carrying the box through."
Charles Rowe, the patient who was prepped and ready for surgery that day, had no idea about Dr. Bodzin made a run for it until the day after his successful operation. "He's amazing he's a really amazing doctor, he went beyond the call of duty." Rowe said. "I guess he has a cape on under that white jacket.""I'm really grateful for what he did, because if he had not gotten it in me, I would not have gotten the liver and I would have been waiting again and who knows what would have transpired between that time with my body and everything," Rowe said.
