Those doctors are fucking brilliant!
I'm so happy for them and the little girl too.
what i really want to know is, is the cardiac dead organ doner given full general anesthesia, sedation, pain relief, amnesia, along with peralisis, both just before, and during the orgah harvesting surgury, just like anyone else going through any major surgury?
love you mum 🌏 you have come so far, so brave ❤️
Eden Fothergill Aww

Is this ur mum?
Hard to watch, but you are a very brave lady.. God bless you and God Bless these amazing Doctors.. 🫀
🫁 Thank you.
What keeps her alive while theyre waiting 5mins for that 1 to start back up again?
Aren't humans just incredible by design? Or whatever it is. It's incredible.
Wow
What does it mean by "using a non-beating heart means more are available for transplants". What makes this heart transplant different to the generic heart transplant?
Using a beating heart for a transplant means that the heart was still beating in the donor's body right up until it is removed--so they have to keep the donor's body on a ventilator, even though they are technically deceased. If you can use a heart from any recently deceased, healthy cadaver (like with most types of organ and tissue donation), that would mean a staggeringly large increase in the number of available hearts for donation.
The Lord God is awesome; how he made our bodies so. He also made some great doctors!💖
