Weird news - Sold kidney for iPhone, now in serious problem

The iPhone, by Apple Corp, is a much sought over phone. Fans love the design, considering it much above the competition. The phone also sells at a premium to other phones, but in the past, there was a huge demand for new versions of the phone (with people lined up in the night outside an Apple store to buy the new version of the phone, when it would be released). There are jokes about payment options for the phone including selling ones own kidney to raise the required money for buying these products. However, as it turns out, this is not a joke, but it has actually happened. Taking a loan for buying a new iPhone would have been done a lot, but something so weird as selling a kidney to buy a new phone really seems weird.
And now the person is suffering the repercussions of that action; not because a kidney was donated. Donating a body organ is something that people do, but such donations take place in proper hospitalization settings; in this case, since selling a kidney is legal, the medical conditions may have caused an infection that is now troubling the person who sold the kidney (link to article);

San Francisco: A Chinese man who sold his kidney as a teenager to buy the latest Apple iPad and iPhone in 2011 is now bedridden with organ failure, the media reported. Wang Shangkun was 17 years old when he made the decision to undergo surgery and sell his right kidney in the black market to buy the Apple products. Shortly after the illegal surgery, he began suffering from a decreased level of kidney function, news.com.au reported late on Monday.
