The first half of the first sentence of the article:
> A man died of rabies after getting a kidney transplant from another man who died of the virus
- mikkupikku 11mo agoYeah I phrases that wrong, I'm wondering if the donor was alive or if they harvested organs from somebody that was dead from rabies.
- thaumasiotes 11mo agoThey harvested organs from somebody who had died of rabies.
- toast0 11mo agoThat sentence doesn't indicate the sequence of events. Both of the following sequences match the sentence; thus the confusion. Sequence 1: Day 0) Donor contributes kidney to donee Day 10) Donor dies of rabies Day 15) Donee dies of rabies Sequence 2 (the incident sequence) Day 0) Donor shows symptoms of rabies (undiagnosed) Day 2) Donor dies of rabies (diagnosed as heart failure) Day 2+?) Donor's kidney is installed in donee Day N) Donee dies from rabies Day N+M) Donor's death is reevaluted and rabies is diagnosed
