Guest guest Posted September 22, 1999 Report Share Posted September 22, 1999 Re: Funny how things change? Hello Gracie, I will tell you exactly what they meant, and as i said its not politically correct.I met alot of doctors , when i sailed off the west coast of Ireland, and out at parties, and every time i gave blood .Most of the doctors were young , and i asked direct questions.(before i knew i had anything wrong with me) This is not the answer Joe public wants to hear, but this is the reason. Because of the shortage of donors for everything , the young doctors DO NOT TRUST THEIR FELLOW DOCTORS.THEY ARE AFRAID THAT IF THEY ARIVE INTO CASULTY AND ARE IN A BAD WAY, NEEDING EXTENSIVE WORK, AND POSSIBLE LONG TERM HOSPITALISATION AND THEY HAVE DONOR CARDS , THAT THEIR FELLOW DOCTORS WILL LOOK AT (AND TAKE) THE OPTION OF PERHAPS SAVING SOME ONE`S SIGHT, PERHAPS A KIDNEY FOR TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE, A LIVER FOR SOMEONE ELSE ETC, AND THIS IS THE MAIN POINT .INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIX THE PERSON WITH THE DONOR CARD THEY MAY SAVE / HELP 4-6 OR MORE PEOPLE AGAINST PUTTING THE DONORCARD PERSON BACK TOGETHER. THEY ARE SIMPLY SCARED STIFF. THEY ARE ON THE INSIDE OF WHAT GOES ON. NOW I AM SURE THIS WILL GET ALOT OF NO THIS COULD NEVER HAPPEN , AND THAT IDIOT IN IRELAND WHAT DOES HE KNOW. REMEMBER 90% WILL NOT CARRY ORGAN DONATION CARDS. HERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS EVEN WORSE.!!!!!! I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU HAVE SEEN DOCUMENTARIES IN AMERICA ABOUT THE CHINESE PRISIONERS BEING TISSUE TYPED BEFORE EXECUTION!!, NOT VERY NICE ,BUT AGAIN THIS IS THE REAL WORLD. AN SMALL INDUSTRY HAS BEEN BUILT UP AROUND THIS IN CHINA, WITH WESTENERS FLYING OVER TO CHINA , PRISONERS BEING TISSUE TYPED ETC AND THEN SHOT IN THE BACK OF THE SKULL ,SO THAT LIVERS AND KIDNEYS ARE NOT DAMAGED. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT IN THE US BELIEVE ME IT HAS BEEN SHOWN ON BRITISH TV WHICH WE CAN SEE IN IRELAND. HERE IS A QUESTION TO ASK YOURSELF,IF YOU WERE TOLD THAT YOU HAD NO CHANCE OF A TRANSPLANT IN THE US, YOUR LIFE DEPENED ON ONE , AS ALL OURS DO, WHO WOULD NOT CONSIDER THE CHINA OPTION. I AM SURE I WILL GET BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER FOR BRINGING THIS UP,BUT WHEN YOU ARE LEFT ON YOUR OWN AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE ANSWER THAT EVERYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE YOU TO SAY. ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTARY MANY WESTENERS HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE IDEA THAT SOMEHOW ORGANS ARE AVAILABLE IN CHINA. DO NOT WASTE ANYTIME CONTACTING THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT TO CHECK THIS UP. IF THIS OFFENDS ANYBODY PLEASE DO NOT ATTACK ME PERSONALLY I AM PASSING ON AND BRING UP ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN TOLD TO ME AND ALSO WHAT HAS BEEN SHOWN ON TV OVER HERE. NOT VERY NICE BUT SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF SEAT BELTS AND CRASH HELMETS,TRANSPLANT ORGANS ARE GETTING HARDER TO FIND. > , > > That is interesting but scary.
