**RAMBLINGS** Disregard if you like. Tom...I have to admit I have had those Robin Cook type horror story thoughts about organ donation. Oh my god...what if I get a broken leg in a car wreck but the doctor seeing me has a daughter my age who needs a heart?! Yikes!! They didn't last long. You can get screwed any number of ways in a day. You either choose to do it in good faith or you don't. It's yet another choice an individual can make. If the doctor who ends up working on you in the ER turns out to be scum...well, lump him in with the priests molesting children, uncles that fly 5 year olds across the ocean as heroin mules, spouses that murder their wife/husband, con artist attorneys that steal a lifetime of savings from the elderly, employers who cash in while thousands in the company go bankrupt, cops that sodomize 'prisoners' in precinct bathrooms, parents who drive their kids around drunk, flight students who fly 757s into buildings and cause mass destruction and unbelievable carnage, etc. All should have been honest, trusting relationships but something went terribly wrong. I appreciate what you're saying. It'd be nice if everything that seemed on the up and up was, but isn't it just like life not to deal ya any guarantees? Thanks for offering up another perspective. Guess it comes down to making the informed choices you can and hoping for the best. If I really thought about everything that could go wrong, I'd hardly leave the house. Bad enough I'm as control freakish as I am now! Did either of the doctors that told you about such things ever have a colleague investigated for such unethical behavior or does it go unchallenged for the most part? Is it always the doctors at 'the other hospital' or in 'that other country' that do this sort of thing? Just wondering. Aside from a car wreck as a teen, the NBC drama is about as close as I've had to come to any personal ER experience, thankfully.
