She was a person who was talking to the family in the ICU waiting room. There was an accident and the man was in a coma. She was trying to tell them that there was no chance of recovery but if they pulled the plug the organs could be harvested for transplants.
I did not get her business card and at the time, she was just plain ghoulish to be doing this. I think is we had not asked her to leave the friends wife would have physcially lashed out at her.
You points are dwarfed by what that was happening in that waiting room. It is nice they feel good harvesting organs, that changes noting for the family who must bury the remains of the loved one and find no comfort that organs were conveniently harvested.
Sorry about your experience. This is not the way things should be adressed. The medical power of attorney of the donor has to speak to several senior staff members before the 'ok' is given to harvest. All interviews must be attended with an outside witness chose by the family. Any red flags by any member of the team is reason to put the kabosh on everything. We have quarterly 'get togethers' for family and friends of donors, recipients are in attendance as well, no vital histories are revealed, and there is an array of spiritual support as well. It's actually a pleasant experience, considering what brings all the people together.
