I know people who work in the medical field, and they say what happens is that when someone is in an automobile accident, if they are unconscious, the market for organs is so lucrative that there is no real attempt to rescusitate the patient. Pressure is placed upon the next of kin to sign the organ donor form and are told that their loved one is “brain dead” and that there is no hope of recovery. Once that form is signed, it doesn’t matter if the person has any hope of recovery or not, because all attempts to save the accident victim’s life is ceased. BTW, organs are not harvested upon the death of a person. They must be harvested while the person is still alive or they are no good. The patient is declared “brain dead”, and the organs are removed.
This is what I suspect happened in this case, but the patient showed signs of life before anything could be removed, thank God.
Many patients could probably recover if it wasn’t for the organ harvesting.
Thank you for the information. I had no idea it was that bad.
Your “people who work in the medical field” are telling you stories or you are telling stories yourself.
There are extensive protocols in the treatment of potential organ donors. Brain death is not just an opinion of one doctor. There are medical tests involved, and it is done entirely separately from the transplant process. There is no reason to rush this process, because we have technology to keep someone artificially alive for a long time. The donor card gives the doctors a start on tissue typing, nothing more.
Mistakes can and do happen, even when precautions are taken to avoid them. They do not happen frequently. The idea that doctors are looking for lucrative organ transplants is downright dishonest. Many times organ transplants are done at the expense on the medical facility, not for huge profits.
I wonder if it occurs to you that there are thousands of people who will only live if they receive an organ transplant. Your lies about the process may cost them their lives, while failing to accomplish anything else. I urge you to look into the reality of some of these claims before repeating them.
They must not work on the front lines. And if they’ve seen unethical conduct on the part of any medical professional within their organization, they are duty bound to report it to governing bodies that oversee many aspects of healthcare. I’ve worked in healthcare (frontlines) and in level I trauma centers, and I have never ever seen this occur. And it does matter even after the form is signed because there are significantly indepth processes and procedures in declaring someone a candidate for organ donation, and it is not up to one person. And it appears that the processes and procedures worked prior to harvesting.
And probably not a lot of people will make a “recovery” with a significant injury as in this article. They may survive and be in recovery, but they won’t live as they did before.
What a load of crap.
