Organ Donation Halted After Donor Shows Signs of Life, Prompting Investigation

- Jimmc414 2y agoWhat is most concerning to me is the surgeons reaction to the patient moving and crying on the table was not to say “this patient is not dead, cancel the procedure”, but “you need to get another surgeon to do this procedure” Seems like maybe a good lesson for future health care workers that the patient advocate is often the last line of defense for the patient and surgeons, techs and hospitals all fail to catch obvious errors with regularity
- ineedasername 2y agoI think this comment should read "The supervisor's reaction"?
- Jean-Papoulos 2y agoHow do you end up at the point where someone calls you to say "the organ donor is still alive" and your answer is to "do it anyway" ? There's something more to this story, I refuse to believe someone would be THAT corporate.
