TORONTO - With more than 400 people offering to give part of their liver to Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, one of his doctors is now saying he could undergo surgery by the end of this week.
Dr. Atul Humar, Director of the Multi Organ Transplant Program at Toronto General Hospital, said there has been a "huge response" to Melnyk's urgent public appeal for a liver transplant.
Melnyk, 55, who has been battling health issues for months, was admitted to hospital three weeks ago due to the onset of liver-related complications. His condition is considered critical.
