An organ harvesting organization has faced allegations that it urged doctors to remove body parts from a comatose woman - who went on to make a full recovery after medics insisted she showed signs of life.
Danella Gallegos said she feels lucky to be alive after her organs were almost taken by 'pushy' donor bosses when she fell into a coma in 2022.
Gallegos, who was 38 at the time, was homeless when she suffered an unspecified medical emergency, and doctors at Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico told her family she would never recover.
Without any hope, her family agreed to donate her organs and preparations were made with procurement organization New Mexico Donor Services.
In her final days, Gallegos' family said they saw tears in her eyes - a sign that they say donation coordinators quickly brushed off, claiming watery eyes were just a reflex.
On the day her organs were set to be taken, one of Gallegos' sisters said she was adamant Danella was still sentient because she saw her move while holding her hand.
Doctors in a pre-surgery room were left stunned when Gallegos, deep in a coma but still medically alive, was able to blink her eyes on the medic's command.
But the organ coordinator in the room told doctors that they should ply the patient with morphine and move ahead anyway, according to a New York Times report.
Gallegos's doctors defied the coordinators, and they brought her out of surgery.
The doctors' decision saved her life - as Gallegos went on to make a full recovery...
Hospital workers told the Times that they faced pressure from New Mexico Donor Services to forge ahead despite their doubts, which the organization denied.

Attempted murder for the donor coordinator - no less is acceptable.
New Mexico?? Huh? Oh that’s right, blue state
Hmm. I knew I shoulda taken a left at Albuquerque
Ghouls got to get paid
The medical establishment has a long history of mistreating and murdering people for its agenda.
Stories like this are why I changed my donor status on my license.
Or conspiracy to commit murder.
“Stories like this are why I changed my donor status on my license.”
I never volunteered. Hell, my liver would kill a normal person.
Buddy: Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad! I’m not in a coma any more!
Mrs. Dionosopolis: Thank God!
Mr. Dionosopolis: [ embarrassed ] Buddy..? Buddy..?
Buddy: [ raising finger ] Ohhhhh.. what are you doing? Were you pulling the plug on me!
Mr. Dionosopolis: [ trying to explain ] Buddy, the doctor told us you were a vegetable.
Doctor: I, for one, am baffled!
Buddy: But pulling the plug!
Mrs. Dionosopolis: Buddy, we were just doing what you told your father about “dying with dignity”, you know? If you ever got hit in the head with a sledgehammer and had to be kept alive by machines? You remember!
Buddy: I never said anything like that, Mom.
Mr. Dionosopolis: Oh, yeahh.. you remember, don’t you? It was that one day, remember? You weren’t asking yourself, you were real strange.. I thought, “Gee, that’s not like Buddy, wants to die like that..” But I figured, what the heck, okay! You said it, though! You said, it, you just forgot!
Buddy: [ laughing ] I probably forgot about it!
Mr. Dionosopolis: Well, buddy, do you fell good enough to go home?
Buddy: [ excited ] Yeah, that would be just great!
Mrs. Dionosopolis: Alright. I’ll fix you a nice big lunch!
Mr. Dionosopolis: And we’ll go hunting first thing next week, okay? [ turns to Doctor ] Thanks a lot, Doctor! Thanks for almost killing little Buddy!
[ family exits hospital room ]
Doctor: Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me!
Dystopian Idiocracy.
Perhaps the organ coordinator should give up a few of his organs...
I wonder how the parents feel that gave permission to mutilate their children, only to find out they were still alive. The one woman’s breastplate had already been sawn into when they discovered her heart was still beating, and she was breathing. Unbelievable that in this day and age this crap still happens.
The perfect reason to NOT be an organ donor.
Someone is always willing to kill you for money.
The entire organ “donation” business is ghoulish, and I will have nothing to do with it either as a donor or as a recipient.
“”An organ harvesting organization has faced allegations that it urged doctors to remove body parts from a comatose woman - who went on to make a full recovery after medics insisted she showed signs of life.””
That was God that woke her up just in the nick of time. This is a cautionary tale. There are demons among us. Ghouls in the medical industry that care nothing for human life. And after watching these type of ghouls starve a woman TO DEATH (Terri Shiavo), I became only too aware of them. Don’t ever sign a DNR, either... because many of these ghouls interpret that as a “don’t bother to treat” either.
How long until the name of the evil “organ coordinator in the room” is revealed? Hopefully soon and this monster rapidly becomes infamously unemployable ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE.
I wouldn’t trust that soul with the care of my ex-wife’s cat.
...and I dislike cats
