Eight people are recovering at Ohio State University's Medical Center after a rare kidney transplant procedure.  Doctors performed an eight-person chain transplant yesterday for four people. The exchanges involve patients in need who get kidneys from non-matching donors. The hospital performed a six-way exchange last year.
