don’t need to go through the wallet, if you are identified in an accident and you were foolish enough to signe the organ donor card on your license, your name is in the database.
Plus hospitals treat EVERYONE as an organ donor unless there is known family present.
Sorry but hospital motives are not pure as the driven ssnot.
Not necessarily. One of my relatives suffered a brain injury, not far from home. He was brought into a hospital far away, as a John Doe, because his wallet was missing. One of the officers took it off him at the scene, and "misplaced" it, until he was breathing on his own. He's also the one who arranged for him to be transported to a hospital far away, which made it hard for his wife to find him. (The officer knew they were going through a messy, violent divorce, as he'd been called out to break up fights a couple times). After he came out of his coma and was breathing on his own, the officer "found" the wallet, and the family was contacted. It turns out the hospital couldn't arbitrarily refuse him treatment, or harvest his organs. They would have needed family approval, or a court order. The officer who "lost" his wallet knew this. God bless him!
