The section I read this time was about how hard to live after the transplant operation was and some organizations in Canada to help patients who experienced organ donation or patients who will have it.
According to the book, the author mentioned that he paid attention to many things after the transplant operation, for example everyday exercise, eating habit, and biopsy, examination of tissue, that the patients who had a transplant operation must take frequently. He said it is rare to have chance to get a new hart and not to have any problem and recover from hart disease completely. To do so, he explained that how much he researched to look for good hospitals and doctors until he thought the doctor is well experienced and trustable and also many organizations that encourage organ donation.
“Doing nothing and hoping and waiting that it will go away is playing a dangerous game with your life.”(Hoferichter, 2000, P 46) He also reported what kind of organization and supporting groups they have in Canada that try to increase the number of donors, give patients and their families information about transplant, advice about drag usage, and even financial aid. He argued that “the greatest fear for all transplant patients have is feat of the unknown”(Hofeerichter,2000,P 63).

Hi Rie, I am sorry because I just found that I missed a comment of your first summary. I totally agree with the author that the most scary thing for the patients who are facing to the transplant operation is unknown. And to convince the patients is also a significant job to saving lives.
Hi Rie. I think your topic is really interesting. I understand what the author says about been afraid of the unknown. I think it is really frustrating to wait years for a transplant and then having something go wrong after or during surgery.
yes! I know some people may not want to transplant operation because they think it is dangerous. It may deduce your life years even less than you dont accept a transplant operation.
