Sometimes a true story, I’m afraid. If you get into a car accident, you don’t get to pick your hospital emergency room or your doctor. You go to the nearest hospital and they do what they think best. Which may not be what you think best.
And if they have an important patient who needs a kidney or a liver right away. . . .
