Kinda disturbing story there Faralas.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
I guess when you get a transplant organ the medical authorities can mess with you a bit. Maybe the doctor was making his decision on the probability of the next operation being a success? Liver transplants don't have much of a survival rate at any rate. They seem to be rather difficult.
I don't know how I feel about this too really. The ethics surrounding that case are very complex. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
@Womble: Yep, it certainly is a disturbing story and it raises many feelings for me when I think about Frank (that's the guy's name who passed away last year).
@Kiya: While I can't say that I know exactly how your friend feels, last September I completed surgery #52 (in the past 12 years). Pain, medical bills, insurance battles and disease are the biggest part of my life. Which is probably why I like playing [and reading] fantasy RPGs so much. They are a welcomed distraction from my reality.
You're a good friend, Kiya. She's lucky to have met you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And just hearing her story gives me strength and confidence to accept my lot in life (well, for the time being. LOL I still become overwhelmed at times.)
