But she's now on two lists which doubles her chances over other adults and children.....if my child was equally as ill...which I understand there are other children in that hospital as ill as she is....I would be fuming!..

My understanding is she’s already at the top of the list for pediatrics, which has little activity...I’m no expert but I’m not sure just how much this really increases her chances.

From the news coverage over the last day it sounds as though perhaps the dividing of the “lists” hasn’t caught up with the current state of medicine...personally I’d like to see one list and if someone on the list doesn’t meet the criteria for a particular transplant, because they’re too small, etc., keep moving down the list in order until you find someone who’s the optimal match for each situation. JMHO.
