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.
