Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson says some of his own officers and citizens alike have offered to donate a kidney to him since he disclosed that he's on a kidney transplant waiting list.
After nearly fainting at a news conference, Johnson announced that he's had a kidney condition for decades and is now awaiting a transplant. He says since he made that disclosure, citizens have called 911 to give their information for possibly becoming a kidney donor for him.
Johnson says he was diagnosed with an ailment that causes an acute inflammation of the kidney at age 25 when he underwent testing while applying to become a Chicago police officer. Johnson says the kind donation offers have given him a humbling feeling.
