The Wrong Organs... Scary

[B][color=darkblue]But the surgeon admitted that he didn't check the info on the organs. He just assumed they were the right type. He could have at least looked at it.

Plus the family specifically said not to pull the plug until they got a second opinion. The hospital could have at least waited that long, so it seems suspicious.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE]

Your right, he should have checked.

However, he was going by prior knowledge. I know it's not an excuse, but at least they tried.

Besides, you dont always need a second opinion. Some people just want one so they can be satisfied, and have their loved one live longer, when it might be best to let them die. I know it's morbid, and it sucks, but thats how life works.

How dumb do you have to be to not look at the information on the organs your going to use.Honestly I think that he should have lost his licence or something

[B]My grandfather this year was put on a machine to keep him alive. Have you ever seen someone that's hooked up to a respirator? It's not a pretty thing and they sure as hell don't look alive. Also, it would have to be pretty bad for them to even think the girl is braindead, let alone if it's true. My point is there was no reason to keep that girl alive. [/B][/QUOTE]

Ugh you did not understand what i mean.

If they kept her alive with that machine just long enough to actualy get things stright. get a second opinion and MAYBE even new organs... she could have lived. and not on a machine for the rest of her life like your grandfather. Im talking get better stand up and walk around.

The hospital is just stupid and should listen and do what the family said... in my opinion

[B]...This girl and her family are illegal aliens from Mexico. This girl was smuggled into the US illegealy to get medical treatment. Sadly, even that didn't save her.
2 HEARTS that could've been used to save a United States Citizen were wasted on the girl. And after all that the poor girl died.
First, the doctor HAD to give treatment to her, the hospital cannot deny anyone. So first, he screwed up on the first heart and an American Citizen who had been waiting for that heart for a while died because they used the heart on the girl. And that one did not work still. The second heart was used, and that one didn't work for her either, and Americans that were waiting before her died. So, Americans died and this one girl died after 2 HEARTS.
I'm sorry that she died, but I can't beleive that after the 2 hearts that could've been used on Americans.....well, you get the point. It's sad that she died and all, but they completely forgot about the Americans waiting for those hearts. I have nothing against Mexicans, hell, I'm half Hispanic in the first place (my mom's from Brazil). The doctor is still a dumbass in the first place for failing BOTH times.....if it worked with the first heart in her, we could've saved an American and an alien. That would've been a good deal. Now we've lost more lives...[/B][/QUOTE]
[FONT=arial]What's the difference? I sort of see where you're coming from saying that the Americans had more right to the hearts than she did, since she legally wasn't supposed to be in the U.S. anyway (at least that's how it's coming across to me), but maybe the Americans didn't get the hearts because she was in greater need of them than they were at the time, I don't know. I seriously doubt she [i]asked[/i] to get sick enough to need a transplant, and that she wanted to go through the whole operation again just for kicks. as for her being there illegally; heck, if my child was sick like that, I'd do just about anything possible to make sure (s)he didn't die, especially if it's only a matter of traveling to another place (illegal or not) so she could be under the care of qualified doctors who (supposedly) knew what they were doing.

with that being said, the doctors [i]really[/i] should have been a lot more careful. I can understand the whole heart transplant being an honest mistake (if not a stupid one), but them pulling her off of life support was asking for it. even if she was braindead, they still had the right to keep her on. her family might not have planned on keeping her on it forever, either. heck, maybe her family would've liked to see her alive one more time before they pulled the plug.

Her recovering was not likely at all, even if her brain wasn't damage.
