The following day Jim and Muriel Baines go to the hospital to see the specialist Mr Berenson.  He tells them that if they can't find a kidney machine for Michael then they will have to do a transplant and one of the Baines's will have to donate.  "But surely we'll both be suitable," says Muriel.  "Either or both.  We shall have to wait and see," says Mr Berenson.  "I'm right in saying that the best match would come from us," asks Jim Baines.  "Yes," answers Mr Berenson.
