The extremely low level ordsprog

The extremely low level of organ donation in Australia is leaving hundreds of people young and old living on the edge for an average of four years with their lives on hold while waiting for a telephone call for a kidney transplant.

One organ and tissue donor has the potential to save and enhance more than 50 lives. Not only do transplant patients benefit from organ donations, but so do their family and friends. That is what makes close collaboration with the health care system and public education about donation so critical to human life.

We must remember that increasing living donation alone will not save enough lives. We must continue to educate the public about the importance of organ donation.

In Scotland, 13 patients have died in each of the last two years and many more have had to be removed from the liver transplant waiting list because they have become too unwell while waiting for a donor organ.

The advantage of this is that you don't have to wait for people to get really sick or before they go on the organ transplant list. Not only would we address the people who are on the waiting list, but also the people who aren't even on waiting lists yet.

We usually have in the area of 400 people on our waiting list, just for kidneys. We do an average of about 120 or 125 kidney transplants a year, so there are a lot more people waiting than actually get them.

We've chose the Transplant Resource Center, an organ donation center, to be the recipient of this year's benefit.

I had nothing to do with the date of the transplant. My doctor told me that most people get hearts on Valentine's Day, but I'm getting a kidney. I told him I'd gladly take the kidney.

National Kidney Month is the perfect time to highlight the need for organ donors and advances that make it possible for more people - including older adults - to give and to receive the gift of life through kidney transplantation.

While the first human organ transplant was performed 50 years ago, it was the arrival of the drug cyclosporine that vastly improved transplant survival rates and helped make transplantation the almost routine procedure it is today. That development offered hope to thousands of patients suffering from failing kidneys, livers, and hearts.

We were told that he could have a kidney transplant but chances were that in a couple of years his kidneys would just fail again.

I'm here, I think, under kind of false pretenses, and I think I have to become straight with you. Ten years ago, 11 years ago, I had a heart transplant -- a total heart transplant. I got the heart of, I think, a young woman who was about in her late 30s. So, by that calculation, you may be giving me this award too early, because I think I got about 40 years left on it -- and I intend to use it.

The story the Leavers have been enacting for the past three million years isn’t a story of conquest and rule. Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.

The people I represent do not want medals. They just want to get on with their lives I mean these guys saved people's lives, hundreds and hundreds of lives. A few lives might have been lost, but then there was a war on here.

Strange medical news from Pakistan: A man had a successful organ transplant with a dog. They gave the man a do's organ. In a related story today, Keith Richards was seen chasing a mailman.
