This smells all kinds of weird.
...and you didn't draw attention to that? That'd be a pretty solid queue to stop the honor walk and get the doc over. Also none of the techs/nurses/doctors noticed??
...and you still declared it, and didn't raise a stink with patient advocacy or the head of the hospital? Or the individual surgeons on the harvest team?
They also don't mention how far they got in the surgery. Like was the anesthesiologist starting to intubate him and noticed his eyes moving and called for a stop before n incision was made? Or were they a kidney or two into the operation?
I've been scrubbed into two organ harvest surgeries; I've been scheduled for five - the other three canceled because the patient didn't meet the super strict criteria as they died. Hospitals are all about covering their ass to avoid situations like the one reported. They'll push you to cut corners on things like room turnover time (which is still fucked) but not things that put them in situations like this.
I'm not familiar with KODA or "Network for Hope", so maybe they're just extra shitty, but take this one with a mountain of salt.
Organ harvests are super important procedures - we don't just have a backstock of healthy livers in the OR core; there's a backlog of deathly ill patients clinging to the hope that their phone rings with news of a match. People are already hesitant to sign up as donors because surgery is genuinely scary as fuck; we don't need half-assed journalism pouring fuel on that fire. If shit is actually happening, by all means report on it, but give enough details to make it credible... or if it's a nothingburger that you're hyping up for clicks, maybe shut the fuck up, cuz that'll prolong peoples' misery / get them killed.
Can you talk about the two surgeries you have been a part of? Also, I never thought about that: they give the dead patients anesthesiology? Why?
