Kidney doctor donates own kidney to save fellow doctor's life

LANGHORNE -- Dr. Greg Zollner is a kidney doctor at Nephrology and Hypertension Associates in Langhorne, PA who developed kidney disease. His colleague, Dr. Chris Frankel, realized Dr. Zollner's life was in danger, so he offered to donate his kidney.

The doctors are kidney specialists who worked together for 16 years, but their connection runs deeper than an office space.
