> higher risk of failure than you or your transplant team are willing to accept Emphasis mine. Transplantation in the US is a gigantic stats same, and a lot of transplant teams will pretty blatantly try to fake their stats. I read a news article the other day about a "lead transplant doctor" in the US had been only accepting patients highly likely to recover, thus leading to his high success rate (and the deaths of other, potentially saveable patients). The hospital he was at released a statement defending him, citing...his high transplant success rate. Comments on the article included anecdotes of people who were living kidney donors, who had felt chronically ill/weaker since their transplant, who had transplant teams insisting that it was not in fact related to the transplant because it would affect their stats.
