The organ transplant of a 2-year-old boy who was born without a kidney will likely be stalled for months.
The reason? His father’s latest arrest.
In a letter The AJC obtained from Burgess, a hospital official said the surgery would be pushed back until Dickerson could provide evidence he has complied with his parole officer for three months.

Having had long experience in *just* such a situation that quote,very probably written by a lawyer,indicates concern that the father might be some sort of disruptive presence while hospitalized.It does *not* suggest concern of a "medical" nature.Assuming,for the moment,that I'm correct the first "suspect" in the authoring of this statement is the president of the hospital's nurses union in regards to nurses' safety.
Here is my question, can a adult even donate a kidney to a two year old child????
“All it takes is a couple of phone calls for approval.”

I take it you haven’t had a lot of dealings with bureaucracies.

Yup.

Pretty much the same with other organs, also.
I know hospitals.I know physicians and surgeons.I know hospital lawyers.I know how they think...I know how they speak.While you could be correct it is,IMO,very likely that the hospital statement quoted in this piece would have been worded differently.
Bottom line...there's not nearly enough in this piece to give an accurate picture of what's going on here.The statements that I've made are based on hunches based on experience...but even my experience isn't enough to formulate a firm position of exactly what's happening in this case.
I do this type of thing every day. In GA. I know exactly what i am talking about. And i could do it in two calls.
whoever prevents a needed life-saving transplant should be prosecuted
investigating or prosecuting or incarcerating daddy is clearly secondary to saving a child’s life
all that can be done a day or two later
I know parolees. I know law. I know hospitals. He obviously used drugs. Its why im willing to throw down a sweet ten-er on it.
Even if he committed rape, he could still work a medical release under gaurd for the operation. Its obvious that something changed - inside his kidneys - that made the surgery team ask for three months delay for his kidneys to recover. And whatever altered/changed his kidneys violated his parole. Thats drugs of some form. Probably needle use related too.
I really have no idea why anyone finds this to be such a controversial concept.
“And i could do it in two calls.”

Then make the calls. I’m sure this child and his family will be grateful.
*Obviously*? Are you clairvoyant? Have you forgotten how to spell "possibly"? How do you know hospitals?
Because the parolee broke surgical protocol by using drugs and the operation is now delayed because it would be dangerous for the child/recipient.
If the parolee was only arrested for a charge then the hospital wouldnt care and the jail and his parole officer would already be moving on it.
Or do you think the surgical team just dislikes felons? And thats it? Or that the jail and the parole board have never dealt with medical emergencies?
If the parolee dad wasnt a piece of junk then, yes, two calls. But no way i would help put a hepatitis heroin kidney in a child. You get that, right?

Yes, when it comes to parolees and parole violations, i am clairvoyant.
You seem scared that im right. Any reason why?
Well, to get more specific - Dekalb Medical (formerly Dekalb General) would actually be the public hospital for DeKalb County. Grady is in Fulton County (Atlanta), while the criminal was in Gwinnett County. So the counties would take their prisoners generally to the local county facility. The State prisoners are pretty well spread out. The big prison is at Reidsville (Savannah is the closest major city); death row is at Jackson (halfway between Atlanta and Macon). I don’t think there is a state prison in either Fulton or DeKalb counties.
In addition to its own hospital, Emory also trains doctors at both Grady and the VA in Atlanta. The State med school is in Augusta. Mercer (Baptist) has its med school in Savannah. And there is a med school for Blacks in Atlanta (Morehouse, Baptist).
How do you know hospitals? I know them thanks to 20+ years helping to manage one of the world's most famous ones.
Ball's in your court.

Perhaps you should let the authorities know about that heroin part of your fantasy, since they’ve been anxious to have the surgery done ASAP.
“Our staff worked diligently with court personnel and the District Attorney’s Office to make arrangements for Mr. (Anthony) Dickerson’s early release so that he could follow through on his scheduled kidney donation for his young son, AJ,” Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Deputy Shannon Volkodav said.”

I mean, what with you being a VIP with who fixes everything with just a call, they’d probably appreciate your help.
Double tap to the head.
- Transplant one kidney.
- Keep the other on ice until needed.
Problem solved.
I am a parole officer. My wife is a NP at a hospital. Before i became a parole officer i worked in the marketing dept of a major hospital. Before that i worked in marketing at emory univ. My father is on a hospital board of directors. My brother is a hospital liability lawyer. His wife is a malpractice lawyer, for doctors. Who knows if that is good enough for you. Its odd that you care.
Regardless, if you are as knowledgeable as you claim then you know that the parole violation would be irrelevant; that it must be something internal that the surgical team deems a procedural liability, from the donor.
You seem scared that i am right. Any reason why?
It really does not take a genius to noodle this one out.
Louie, you seem angry. I have a shoulder here for you, man. If you need it. Peace upon you.
Hey, the DA’s office and “court personnel” have nothing to do with parole. Maybe that is the problem?
Stay mad, bro.
