I call massive assfuck shenanigans. They'd take him into the hospital and make a determination about heart transplant eligibility, knowing full well that he'd be denied based on his citizenship status?
Bullshit. They denied his transplant because he's a mayo dumpster, and doctors know when not to waste their limited resources on the subhuman.
Deport or get citizenship. Sadly I know theyll take care of him, but hopefully wherever he's located isn't so far gone they give him a heart before a citizen. But if it's in California I wouldn't be surprised
Who wants to guess who's paying for his medical care
Ahhh classic white priveledge. Where I got to watch my grandma sit on a liver list rotting of MRSA while the gov wanted her the fuck off their payment dole. All the while illegal immigrants or more properly named, in a society that values the rule of law, criminals get free healthcare and have the gall to pander to the masses for a whitey heart that they claim is their oppressor
So I guess he came here at a time when he was small enough to swim over, then he enjoyed the bountiful cornucopia of the US and gained 400lbs and now his heart is not working from over indulgence. He if had stayed in Mexico he probably wouldn't have gotten this fat and needed a new heart.
Has he considered asking his home country for a heart? People expect nothing from their home country then get pissed when they come here and don't get whatever they want. Why don't all these young, able bodied fruit pickers and manual labors use their strenght and bodies to make thier own countries better?
One factor that's usually considered by hospitals on who to give an organ to is likelihood of compliance. Is this guy going to turn his life around and eat healthy in order to get the most amount of years of his transplant? This is the reason why criminals, fatasses and alcoholics get passed over for transplants. There are plenty of people who have deformities, genetic abnormalities or get into accidents through no fault of their own that could use a new heart.
Yesss. More shit like his needs to based on expected compliance. Across the board the best indicator of compliance with medical instructions is obesity; they don’t listen to shit and they just want a magic pill to make it better (but also don’t finish their courses or take pills/injections/etc properly bc it’s too hard or they felt better so they figured they could stop).
The nerve of these parasites is astonishing. Sure, every kid would want to help his or her father, but she should've done that 150kg ago. Ask all illegal Mexicans in the US for $1 and that should be enough to buy a heart from an Albanian.
What kind of libtard mental gymnastics do you have to go through to think it's OK to create a tourism industry for our rare resources (in this case viable organs) and give it away free to spics and niggers just because they bought a boat ticket or swam across a river to get here?
Give it a pig heart, it already looks like a pig. Actually the pig doesn't deserve that, give the "guy" an 80 year old smoker's heart.
He was denied because he's obese. There are certain criteria that people must meet in order to receive a transplant. (Active smokers can't get lungs, heavy drinkers can't get livers, people with hepatitis can't get livers, etc.) The morbidly obese are kicked out of most of them, especially hearts because they'll either die on the table or destroy the organ. There are a limited number of viable hearts available for transplant. Surgeons shouldn't waste them on people that don't take care of their bodies.
They will harvest what organs haven't been disfigured by his eating habits and then sell them. Unless he has money then he can do that to someone else.
They're trying to make it political when it's really that hes way too obese to qualify. There's a shortage of organs, like they'd give a new heart to this beast to destroy when it could go to a child (pediatric priority) or someone who was born with a heart defect or had cancer or illness that was completely not their fault?
It's shit like this that makes me reconsider being a donor. If most people in America are fat, chances are if I get hit by a bus my organs will go to some fatty who ate too many Pringles and wore out his own organs with his stupidity. I don't want that. But I don't think there's a "no fatties" clause that can be legally implemented for an organ donor.
Don't worry, it's already in place. Severe obesity already makes you basically a non-candidate for surgery - complication rates are too high. Plus a very very high % of doctors are shitlords when they're not in front of patients. Source: My last ward placement on L&D, 100% of the doctors were shitlords, plus a good % of the midwives.
I've just done a bit of reading up on this after someone else mentioned race. It seems there is a whole lot more reading I would have to do if I wanted to find the answer. But it seems like getting on the list is rather exclusive. While being a celebrity, or of a certain race doesn't apparently matter nor get you on the list at a higher position, overall health does.
So apparently, your organs are more likely to go to a generally healthy and/or young person. From my cursory reading.
Reading through everyone's comments just makes me love you guys even more. Some may say we lack compassion, but that couldn't be further from the truth. True compassion requires not enabling people, reserving the effort for those who deserve it, and allowing people to reap what they sow.
That is the thing about the left. They do not care to help, only to look good. Enabling the most dangerous thing you can do to an addict. Yet our social programs seem to be built around enabling.
Boo hoo hoo! "Due to not being a legal resident" my ass. Maybe if he hadn't eaten 20,000 too many burritos, they might have considered him a worthwhile transplant candidate.
If I died only for my heart was transplanted into this filthy parasite, it would be the ultimate insult. Is there a way to make sure my organs don't go to niggers or beaners?
That's the reason why I'm not a donor. I'd donate to my family but I don't want third world scum living on welfare to receive my organs (I live in Europe). Also, due to the fact that I live in Europe chances are that I die in an islamic attack and my organs go to one of the terrorist's many, many sympathizers.
She said he does have insurance, but they're not giving him a heart because of his legal status. But according to orgadonor.gov:
Can non-resident aliens donate and receive organs? Non-resident aliens can both donate and receive organs in the United States. Organs are given to patients according to medical need, not citizenship. In 2001, 334 (2.7%) of the 12,375 organ donors were non-resident aliens. In this same year, 259 (1%) of the 23,998 transplants performed were on non-resident aliens.
That two percent is still too high. They get way too much free shit in my opinion. I told one of those breeder 🌯 'a that she should have bought condoms instead of diapers. I hate how they think being an intentional burden to the taxpayers is no big deal. Just wastes of space and resources.
Just checked it out and they want $800k. $800k!!!!! Fucking crazy money. Already raised $6k too. What happens if they don't reach their target and he dies before he gets the heart? Are donations returned or do the family get to spend it on tacos?
I still don't get it though. He has been denied due to his legal status. Does that suddenly become irrelevant if one can come up with enough money? Or are they wanting to buy a heart on the black market? UK FPHer here so I don't understand the US healthcare system but it seems wrong if rich illegal immigrants are entitled to organs that would be denied if they were poor.
US hospitals are required by law to treat anyone who comes to them, regardless of their ability to pay. However, that mandate only extends to stabilizing the patient if there's a way to transfer him/her to a different facility. Take my wife, for example. She has excellent medical insurance, but the hospital closest to our house isn't in the network. If she got really sick, the ambulance would take her there (because it's the closest ER and that's the law), and they would have to treat her despite the fact that - as far as they're concerned - she is "uninsured." They would stabilize her and send her to the nearest hospital that does take her insurance.
Crazy, right? In actuality, I'm pretty sure that her insurance would pay the bill anyway (due to the medical necessity), but she can't make an appointment there unless she's willing to pay out of her own pocket.
In this case, I'd bet dollars-to-doughnuts that the fatty showed up at the ER with chest pains, and the hospital figured out what's wrong with him (heart disease related to his obesity). Since he's not in immediate danger, they can transfer him to a different facility if one is willing to take him, but that would have to be a place that takes charity cases. The also might be able to just discharge him with instructions, but that probably depends on the laws of the state he's in. In any case, he's going to need a very expensive surgical procedure in the near future, and the available organs apparently go to people who are not breaking the law to be here. He can go back to his home country and get the transplant there.
I've been turned away from an emergency room several times. They gave me bullshit reasons, but the truth was that I didn't have insurance at the time (temporarily lost it when my plan was cancelled due to Obamacare being implemented) and they didn't believe I was ready to pay out of pocket. The illegals in the emergency room that had the fucking sniffles were seen, but even with a broken bone and a concussion, I was turned away.
Privately-owned hospitals may turn away patients in a non-emergency, but public hospitals cannot refuse care. ... This means that a public hospital is the best option for those without health insurance or the means to pay for care.
Here's your answer. Go to a public hospital next time.
Part of the problem is that how would I ever prove it? It happened on a holiday and the emergency rooms were packed solid with idiots that felt like sniffles were an emergency because their doctors were taking a day off. Besides, I'm not a litigious asshole looking for every excuse under the sun to fuck over someone's life.
Illegals get free health care (and welfare and food stamps...). Medical care should be for productive members of society only, meaning that all fatties should be automatically excluded.
I hate sounding like a broken record here, and bringing it up again, but where I live in British Columbia my dialysis ward is approximately 70% immigrants. I have have nothing against them, but when I think of the cost and how they will get transplants before me I do get a little bit depressed...
They aren't illegal tho so there's that. Also my area is super high with East Asians who are more likely to develop diabetes and therefore end up in renal failure. Still sucks though. I can't even change my dialysis schedule or add an extra run because the beds are all jam packed and super full.
Genetics. BMI 25+ is a risk factor for white people. The limit is 23.5+ for Asians (includes far east, indian, and middle-eastern IIRC) and Hispanics. Its somewhere around 26 - 27 for blacks, slightly higher than white people. This is from my textbook of physical diagnostics from Swartz for medical students.
Welp, I'm no doctor or scientist but it has something to do with their diet I believe. Here's a link to what I think is a legit site. Again, I'm no doctor, but I've seen the patients with my own eyes and most of them are east asian.
They are East Asians technically. I didn't know if Indians was the proper term to call them, as there are Native Indians as well that fit under that name.
You do realize that technically people from India are in a larger sense of the phrase asians? Same thing with people from Russia. Same thing goes for anyone from Africa is african. Though i do see your point in that it's more specific to people from India vs the "greater east Asia".
India and Russia are on the Continent that is Asia, therefore they are Asians. /u/stearic was saying that an African is an African because Africa is it's own continent.
Where I live in BC Indians are referred to as East Asians.
It's true. My family is Asain and Indians are included in that term because they are technically in the continent of Asia. But it's stupid there is 7 billion of them, they should have their own term.
Hey thanks! I wish I was in charge! I'd kick the fatties out, and my god it would be so much quieter and peaceful! There's this one fat old lady (I know, know, hard to believe, modern medicine is bitch) who literally asks the nurses to do everything for her. Pull the blanket down to cover her feet. Move the bed up. Pass her her water or her purse. These are all things you can do for yourself even while hooked up to the machine. It's almost like she thinks she's some kind of queen and she's going to take advantage of it. Meanwhile I'm doing all types of maneuvers with needles in my arms trying to do shit for myself.
She's always pushing the call bell and you can see the nurses roll their eyes every time. I'm just waiting for that one time she has a heart attack and they take their time.
They should petition his mother country for help. Aside from that, what's the point of wasting a healthy organ on someone who obviously doesn't take care of themselves. So tired of fats always having their hand out. No doubt we the taxpayers are maintaining all the fatties in that photo through our hard work and sacrifice. What a waste...meanwhile, hardworking Americans suffer and go without because we are not entitled.

Hey thanks! I wish I was in charge! I'd kick the fatties out, and my god it would be so much quieter and peaceful! There's this one fat old lady (I know, know, hard to believe, modern medicine is bitch) who literally asks the nurses to do everything for her. Pull the blanket down to cover her feet. Move the bed up. Pass her her water or her purse. These are all things you can do for yourself even while hooked up to the machine. It's almost like she thinks she's some kind of queen and she's going to take advantage of it. Meanwhile I'm doing all types of maneuvers with needles in my arms trying to do shit for myself.
She's always pushing the call bell and you can see the nurses roll their eyes every time. I'm just waiting for that one time she has a heart attack and they take their time.

It's almost like their home country is a shithole where the residents are too low-IQ to learn how to do a heart transplant

HOW DARE YOU call any place a shithole. EVERYWHERE IS EQUAL, JUST LIKE HOW ALL BODIES ARE SEXY.

Isn't part of why healthcare costs are so overinflated?

It's part of why healthcare insurance is overinflated. Healthcare costs are high for different reasons.

They should petition his mother country for help. Aside from that, what's the point of wasting a healthy organ on someone who obviously doesn't take care of themselves. So tired of fats always having their hand out. No doubt we the taxpayers are maintaining all the fatties in that photo through our hard work and sacrifice. What a waste...meanwhile, hardworking Americans suffer and go without because we are not entitled.
