3rd call.

Had my third call last night. Different from the last two as the donor was still alive but brain dead. I got to the hospital at 11:30pm and started the routine tests- 10 bottles of blood, ascetic tap, ECG, chest X-ray, covid and mrsa test. Got to my bed at 3am. At 3:30 they told me that although the donor had passed there had been a delay harvesting his heart which meant that the liver and other organs had deteriorated too much to be used.

Gutted.

One response to “3rd call.”

    The fact you have been called and been so close twice is a positive.

    At least you have had practice now….

    Fourth time lucky?
