I have a white friend who cant get a transplant because she has a rare blood type ...
They didnt put her one the list because it would have taken years ...
Theres lots of reasons ...
Sad story, hope she survives and thrives.
I’m overdue for a corneal transplant. Idiot doctor said no 12 years ago because I was too old. Then had me use ointment that totally wrecked the pretty good one I have. Right cornea so dry it scratches inside of my eyelid and surgery too complicated for most docs. I’m going to different doc next month, prefer waiting til spring when healing is easier.
I have AB negative blood, which is very rare, but fortunately, blood type doesn’t matter with corneas. I wonder whether I can be an organ donor? Probably if people with rare blood types are on the list.
