stating the question(actually re-stating) is a very valuable thing to do when the audience is not miked up... thank you !!!

[@briannabrown402]

So articulate and confident!
It’s been 5 years since this video and I’m not seeing that frailty is used in conjunction with MELD yet. Is there an update with this study?

[@ladyellcee6720]

Wow so relevant and so interesting esp.for me

[@marylee2732]

I had fatty liver in 2016-17 then my enzymes went up, but was too busy & sick to go back to the doctor then COVID happened. Now
I’m wondering if cirrhosis sped up after my shot.

[@Annie-Ruth]

I wonder if I’ll make it long enough to receive a transplant?

The bad thing is the guy that walked in and wasn’t Frail, will be and then his chance of survival we be a lot worse. I understand the meld score, the worst first . But! I’ve been going through this for 2 years. Meld score was 37 . I have Hepatarenal syndrome . I’m on PD and take no medications. I gained over thirty pounds in couple months. My Drs don’t believe my recovery . I want to find out why. Study me.

Marching is three miles an hour not ambling or casually walking.

I like how she points out positives when it benefits her agenda, but when you hear it from a clinician, it’s the pessimistic responses.

Wish there were timestamps.

[@alexcarter8807]

You can actually add them yourself just put times like 1:23 and what happens then, etc.

[@vivianstewart5212]

Is there age limits. For transplant. Or do you go by the person score. And not being frail.

[@OK-wb1dy]

Good question

Why no medicine for liver cirrhossis . Even for coronovirus medicine came . My father expired due to liver cirrhossis . Please invent one medicine for liver cirrhossis .

[@saaad786]

My mother is in pain she has been diagnosed a month ago. She has collapsed now. Near to death. How can we mitigate her pain.

[@saisantosh9825]

@@saaad786 madam I will tell you one thing but donot fear. Liver cirrhossis person survive for 6 or 8months. There is no medicine for the liver cirrhossis. Your mother has suffered from ascites or only liver cirrhossis. My father got ascites also along with liver cirrhossis. If your mother's stomach was filled with water then drain out the water otherwise it will cause more pain to your mother . How is your present situation of your mother . Please reply

She has the same level of human-heartedness as Madame Chiang-Kai-Shek.

Glad she is a researcher and not on transplant board.

There’s a job for everyone. If she had heart, she’d be a terrible researcher
