If you know some one interested in donating an O+ kidney please contact moderator as soon as possible.

There seems to be a scandal brewing at UPenn transplant services. Is it favortitism or something worse? I know someone seeking a kidney transplant there. Are they saving the spots on the list and for who and for what in return is the question? Nurse coordinator Donna Whitehead apparently likes to play god with peoples lives. She can decide on whim who gets placed on the list for a transplant. She was showing her authority but how can a nurse decide who gets a transplant. She seemed like she was offended and then used her position to threaten a patient and his future. If you ask me decisions on things like a life saving kidney transplant should no be subjected to emotional whims but on pure science. People should contact UPenn and let them know this is not acceptable. This could be bigger than the NJ scandal where they were selling body parts for transplant. She made it seem like there was something wrong with the patient wanting to know his status and position on the transplant list. Every time he jumps through their hoops she placed new ones in the way. She is playing with peoples lives. If you have ever known any one on dialysis you know it is not an easy road. The sooner the transplant takes place the better for the patient but the hospital and especially this nurse are never in a hurry. This is not the end. More to follow……
