Organ Donation

i've often thought of donating bone marrow, but i hear it's really fucking painful and i have no health insurance so if anything were to go wrong...:(

maybe when i have insurance. and pain killers.

Janie - it can be...mainly because they are going right into the bone. I'm registered for that, but haven't been called up yet. A friend of mine has donated twice and while he said it was painful, the reward was far greater...also, if you are donating, they will take care of you...just like when you donate blood. It's obviously a little more intensive, but they take care of you.

You have to pay for health care in America if anything goes wrong when you're donating stuff??? Jesus titty Christ!!! :willy_nilly::willy_nilly::willy_nilly:

I know in PA you don't and I don't think you do as long as it goes wrong WHEN you are donating...but if let's say you were to get an infection or something like that and need to be hospitalized, it's a bit tricky. Yep, the system is quite broken.

No No I meant what if there is complications or something? Will they really take care of it?

yeah exactly


Look I puke when they take blood can you imagine me giving bone marrow?! :eek

but I do want to do it - it is a goal of mine! ;)
 
I've been an organ donor since it was first offered on the California driver's license. I don't remember what year that was, but they glued a red sticky circle on the license. It's indelibly on the license I carry now though.

I won't need them and maybe they would be of some use to someone.

I've considered becoming a bone marrow donor, but lazily, I just haven't taken that step.
 
i have been an organ donor since i was 15. why do i need them. and honestly after your autospy they put them into a black garbage bag and sew them back into your chest, so its not like they are where they are supposed to be anyway
