This is about the only place where ESRD patients couldn't argue affectively against live Philippine transplants.

Who is eligible for a transplant in the Philippines ? Virtually all ESRD patients who want and need a kidney transplant, after our Surgeon gives the go ahead. However we don't use that non medical misleading phrase " eligible for a transplant". Why is this phrased used in American Transplant Hospitals.? This gives them a polite way to get rid of overweight patients, elderly , past users of substances and other less than perfect people.The US hospitals gets to cherry pick the kidney transplant patients they prefer. Remember they have a geographic monopoly and a waiting list a mile long so they create categories with artificial lines, to eliminate ESRD patents from the transplant list. They find that kidney patients accept sugar coated bullshit ("not eligible") as they get kicked off the US transplant list. If those American patients were diagnosed ESRD and their doctor recommended they get a transplant, then by golly they should. That standard is not used for Liver transplant candidates in the US. With Liver failure patients, the one bleeding to death and figured to die moves to the head of the transplant list. Thus the sickest Liver patient is not kicked off the list as with ESRD patients. So if your American/Canadian/UK hospitals gives the " not eligible" screw job, we will save the day with a live Philippine transplant.
Mallory,Kikatz,Geoff,Sandman and lets not forget LIVECAM, Is silent sulking your apology for LYING. Using imaginary names like broker,.? Calling it Black Market cause its discreet and the dumbest of all , about informing donors of the risks, if they make money. If they are stupid enough to do it for free , the implication is then their health will be ok.
where private insurance is covering the costs to go abroad to get the surgeries at a heavily reduced price. You simply do not know how to talk to us... there is no room for our concerns in your way.. it is you are always right and we are "stupid" for not seeing your way. I do not appreciate the personal attack on me but I guess I should have expected it. Now in the end you have proved all my feelings about you and your methods right (to me) and tainted my views on even the possible good side of some of the options you have brought up! Thanks for all your help it has been a real eye opener for me. Next time you want to call me a liar do it to my face. Thanks Geoff
Sandman : you said "an apology from ME? For what? Calling you a shady, black marketeer" Did you reach that conclusion while you were dreaming or do you have something concrete, like proof.? And why did you spell the word "me" in capitals ? I think some of you may turn into a Pinocchio.
That's right. That is what I said. Of course I researched my conclusion to my accusing you of that "black marketing" thing because the term best describes what you appear to be, according to North American laws and customs. You want proof? Try google.com and search for something like this. black market. And this is not a dream my friend, this is just the cold, hard facts.I used the word "me" in caps because you were accusing me of lying when I was doing nothing of the kind. You may call me mistaken but don't ever call me a lier. I take great pride in the truth, no matter how harsh it may turn out.
I wonder if the new kidney is duty-free when the patient re-enters the U.S.?
