Lai Ming-kun says: "Every time the pallid donated kidney is implanted in the receiver's body, when the blood vessels are connected and the clamps released; in that instant when the blood flows into the kidney and the originally pallid organ immediately fills with the new blood to become fresh, red and swollen, every pulsation is full of the force of life."
長庚醫院賴明坤醫師則說，「每一回將蒼白的捐贈腎臟植入受贈者身體內，接好血管，放開止血鉗後，血液流進新腎那一剎那，原本蒼白的腎立刻得到新血的補充而鮮紅飽漲，每一個脈動都充滿了生命力。」
