minus-squaresndmn@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up134·edit-22 years agoWhat do you mean I have to stop drinking gin if I want a liver transplant? Patient dies because she didn’t follow doctor’s advice.
minus-squarenomadjoanne@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoNot remotely comparable. There is no reason to believe she is getting a transplant as a result of covid.
minus-squareStumblinbear@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up58·2 years agoYou’re less likely to get a transplant if you’re more likely to ruin it based on your lifestyle.
minus-squarenomadjoanne@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoWell a hospital in the US didn’t seem to think so. I suppose that’s one of the benefits of a less centralized system.
minus-squarenomadjoanne@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoYou will note I was making a point about one aspect of the US health system. Not all of it.
minus-squareangrymouse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·edit-22 years agoYeah but throwing an organ away with someone that will die anyway refusing treatment just because they paid or because your system is incapable of transporting organs to better suited donors is not exactly a “benefit”.
minus-squareNoodle07@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoWhy would they want a liver transplant in the first place if they didn’t drink gin? Doctors not thinking it through

Yeah, the great US health system
