this seems like one of those things we would say if we are not wearing those shoes.
i think if i was waiting for an organ to save my life i dont give a fuck where it came from, as long as its legal.
i wouldnt be pissed it was from some poor convict in a conservative state.. id be pissed someone stole organ
yea, i was joking dude.
when you get a transplant, they don't tell you anything about where it came from unless the donor family specifically tells them to let you know. which these particular alabamans wouldn't do
yeah, sorry, im prolly a bit sensitive due to working in the industry... did not catch the sarcasm
i get it. one of my closest friends is a TX patient, and it was not a smooth road. sometimes you just have to find humor somewhere, because you can only cry so much before there's nothing left
yeah it reminds me of the all in the family where archie does not want the wrong type of blood.
Woosh
when you work with dying people sometimes its hard to see the humor. especially when those statements are actually heard without sarcasm, like 'i dont want an organ from black person'
Lolwut?
“OK here’s the number for palliative care”
i hope you tell those people "you'll get the organ that's compatible, and you're not going to know from whom it came. or we can take you off the list, your call"
Jesus fucking Christ! Sorry you have to put up with that, man.
