I was just wondering after watching a program yesterday......greys anatomy.....love it.
There was a young doctor pals who was on a vent,it seemed he could have had a few years left but decided to come off the vent and die.
The reason being he wanted to donate his organs but if he left it to die naturally it would probably be due to an infection and he would not be able to donate.
Has anyone seen this episode? Its just as the docs purchase the hospital.
I know its fictional but they have to get the medical stuff right.
I did not know you could not donate your organs if you died of infection.
Is anyone registered as a doner? did you know this?
I did get rather emotional when he was taken off the vent and he died,they had to quickly get the family out so they could harvest his organs within 5 minutes.
Very thought provoking stuff.
