There's a lot of literature in medicine of how often one small subset of patients consumes a disproportionate level of healthcare resources, i.e. the Pareto principle. It's fantastic seeing just how much providing effective treatment for that small subset offers drastic benefits to everyone else. For liver transplants, it's a very 1-to-1 situation, but for other resources such as hospital beds, the ripples probably go much farther.
