Your experience makes me realize that if a transplant patient gets hospitalized they should probably bring in their immunosuppressants with them, to avoid this conflict.

I just thought of a tattoo to get if I ever do get one after trying to save an arm band that says "Do Not Use This Arm" in bright orange due to having a graft and fistula in my left arm. However the wrist area is very sensitive and I might not make it through just the start of the outline.
