I saw Oprah yesterday, my favorite... definitely going to miss her when I go to Korea, trying to catch her on AFKN in the mornings and missing her on Mondays b/c it's not airing in the states that day (b/c Korea is ahead). Anyways, Steven Cojocaru was on, talking about his kidney transplant and his diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease. He got fired from his job for agreeing to talk to Oprah about organ transplant, which is now a cause he wants to promote. (It's even the same network, NBC!) That was so sad. Rumor is, Katie Couric was upset, but who knows. I'm going to be watching Good Morning America now.

"Cojocaru was less positive discussing how he lost his job on "Today," after being part of the show for over four years. He said that three weeks after his surgery, he was fired after making plans to appear on "Oprah."

"I wasn't just fired, I was dumped," he said. "I was shot at the crack of dawn, I was left in the gutter, I mean, it was so cold."

Winfrey expressed shock, explaining that she had understood that Cojocaru would appear on the "Today" show first. She added, "It's not worth losing your job!""

There was a cadaver among the first years this year that had polycystic kidney disease. Debilitating, and so sad that NBC would try to limit the exposure of him talking about it.
