I have worked multiple times with people from the ‘Organ Donation Centers.’ They are typically extraordinarily congenial, very well trained. They are unlike any other group which comes to my mind. Thoughtful, polite, respectful. Their training must be outstanding and their personality profiles are likely exhibitative of no tendency towards anger or conflict. It is rather consistent stuff in my opinion, they are all like that. Nothing pisses them off.

On the other hand, they politely demand miracles. If a Patient is declared brain dead but their metabolism is in fine working order, the rules are seemingly impossible to comply with.

They want ‘Donors’ to be on ‘room air’ that is no supplemental O2. The PEEP or CPAP, pressures must be set to zero. Nobody alive gets zero PEEP, even us right now have natural PEEP of > 0. The blood gases must be normal with an O2 Sat of >93%. That is not always easy to get done with the autonomic nervous system essentially shutdown.

Somehow we usually get it done, but it involves tweaking things. Volumes, respiratory rates, the darn HOB (head of the bed) angle makes a difference. Once the required parameters are met, the organ harvesting can commence. It is all sometimes a bit surreal, but it happens, a lot.

I’m having a tough time figgering out why transplanting organs from clotshotted people is a good idea. Or even covid/no shots. The things that do people in are usually organ damage: damaged alveoli, micro clotting everywhere, corrupted livers and kidneys, stringy clots all over, iron in the blood, etc. Just diminished resistance over all would seem to make it a bad idea. Pericarditis/myocarditis would seem to me to make a heart questionable, at best?

Those folks you mention that do the work would be getting their good humor really, really tested?
