Re: Monday Randoms
I was talking to someone recently about organ donation, and they said they would never be one because if something tragic happens, doctors will not worse *as* hard to save your life because of all the other lives that can be saved from your donations. Has anyone heard this before?
Never heard this before.
If they're really worried about it, why don't they donate their body to a university for doctors in training? I plan on doing this. A good friend of mine is a doctor and said that without these donations, she wouldn't be where she is today. She's potentially saving a life by training a doctor who may save lives later on. Does that make sense? And she said everything is extremely respectful. Every body part has to be put back exactly where it came from, and there's a service held to honor those who donated where the families are invited at the end of each year.
??? Um, I don't think so. I would question her information. I can't imagine a doctor not working hard to save a life because the persons death would help other people.
I've heard that arguement about organ donation before. It's just not true or logical.
I'm in the backyard doing some school work while the kids color at their picnic table and the chickens roam the yard. Nice to be outside without melting.
I will donate any and all organs.
I will admit before working in the trauma center, I was a little on the fence about it. Hubby knew that I would, but I never had it on my id card. Then I went to work at Riley and got to see first hand how the process works and how much it helped people and now I'm all for it. Granted, we only worked with kids there, but it changed my outlook on it forever.
Since turning 18, I've been a registered organ donor. I understand that some people have religious reasons for not donating, but aside from that, I don't understand why people would feel the need to be buried or cremated with parts that could save the lives of others.
