National City man leaves his liver to retired CHP officer
Scripps Green Hospital/La Jolla has a wonderful support group meeting for Liver & Kidney patients on the 1st Wednesday of every month, free service, open to all and no sign in. From 6pm -7pm always a very informative speaker which changes monthly - 7pm to 8pm sessions for kidney patients, Hep C patients, liver pre & post transplant &/or caregivers. Please pass the word in case your friend does not know about it.— September 11, 2011 11:11 p.m.
National City man leaves his liver to retired CHP officer
FYI - too bad they left out the part where Michael quit drinking over 8 years ago and is now active in the local community to help others quit and stay sober. As far as the denial of medical care issue, there is much more to it than what was printed. But in a nutshell, KP was sending him to LA for the transplant, where because there are so many patients waiting he would never have received one and everyone knew it. However, here in his hometown, he stood a decent chance of getting one - but no guarantees of course. So why would a medical provider insist on sending a patient far from home with a definate bad outcome? It was easier for them to say such things as "that's where we send our transplant patients" and "all we have to do is send you where they do them and our obligation is met" - we are happy to report that after our case, KP designated Scripps Green as a Center of Excellence and sends their patients where they stand the best chance of receiving a transplant. BTW - we have received excellent medical care thru KP and have been members there for over 40 years.Thanks for your comments and hope my reply clears a little up for you.— September 10, 2011 4:12 p.m.
