  • It seems that people who abuse their bodies with illegal drugs and or alcohol get an organ or multiple organ transplant but those of us who are just trying to live have to wait? Thats what makes me mad. I can't make any sense of wgy this happens?

  • I'm not sure what you are talking about. Are you waiting for a transplant? I know that my transplant center will not transplant anyone with an active addiction. These folks, once they are in control, then have to wait just like everyone else on the list. To tell you the truth, I got a lot of grief about needing a kidney. I had people blaming me for not having taken good care of myself and felt that I didn't deserve the transplant. I did take good care of myself given the different technologies available when I was diagnosed (1966). Sometimes bad things just happen.
