I am confused? I thought that it was the LIVER that alcoholism ruined? I guess its not good for the kidneys either but I find it odd that his liver seems to be healthy. Also, I have heard horror stories of self destructive alcoholics who destroy their new organ by continuing to drink. If I was ever to donate a kidney to ANYONE even if its someone I loved I would only do it if their illness was just bad luck or bad circumstances. If they did it to themselves with reckless and continuous self destructive behaviors like in this story they would not be getting a kidney from me.
My father was forced to stop drinking and smoking before doctor would allow him heart surgery...not a transplant..he had to prove it with blood tests over 6 months
They don’t want the organ to go to waste. If a person is an alcoholic and then gets a transplant it increases the risk of organ rejection, organ failure, and the fact that the new organ could be damaged by the same habits as the original making the donation useless when there are other people needing organ transplants.
My friend got a kidney iff the waiting list. He started drinking a few years later and his kidney failed again. He got another kidney off the waiting list. I think age plays a part in priority, not drinking habits.
OP needed to be away from toxic parents. He was overly generous paying the bills for 3 additional months. All the money he put in the house was gone, and I doubt that the parents ever had the intention of selling the house to him at a discount. 😻😁😻
This could be my dilemma eventually. I have an older brother, 11 months, who is an alcoholic, even if he doesn't agree with me. He rails against me for smoking weed, 50 years now, but doesn't attribute his ailments to his lifelong drinking, whereas mine are from my smoking/eating habits. And, the only things I've suffered from so far are being overweight at one time and a stroke I had in 2015. I know that if he needs a kidney, everyone will be looking at me for the donation. My problem will be if he gives up his drinking first. I won't give a healthy kidney to someone who will destroy it all over again. We're both in our sixties now too, so it would only be saving his life for a short term anyways and would affect my quality of life for the short time I'll have left also.
My dad had gout and the gout medication destroyed his kidneys. He was about 68ish when he went on dialysis. His age kept him off the transplant list. I'm sorry it's not better news; just food for thought. I stayed with Dad during dialysis. It seems tedious and boring. Considering that state of some of the people there, boring is a good thing.
If you are in the US or Canada he won't even be considered a candidate for a transplant if he is drinking anyway. From what you are saying he won't get one unless he is massively rich and goes somewhere where he can buy a kidney.
You can live perfectly fine life whilst being on dialysis it take 3 and a half hours in a chair 3 days a week. But that is it. He can talk on his phone play games on his phone they have it set up that every patient has there own TV to watch when doing there 3 and a half hour treatment.
ANY parent that would refuse to give a kidney to their own child, but try to push another child into donating is a despicable, manipulative, worthless narcissist.
To be fair, the Dads reaction isn't shocking. There is no guarantee the recieving patient wouldn't go back to abusing alcohol and it's a big sacrifice to make to just watch get wasted...
He wouldn't be the first alcoholic to get an organ donation. I think they have to prove they can stay sober for like six months but I'm not sure. That might also just be for transplants from strangers. The rules might be different for an organ being specifically donated to a family member.
Hi I'm a dialysis patient and I can shed a little light on this if he's using the list then he will be considered non compliant. But if his brother gives him the kidney now it's on the brother and the transplant unit is willing to do it cuz they're going to make their money (to perform a transplant is almost half a million 💵). Once your considered non compliant the person after you will be considered. In order for him to receive a kidney on the list he would have to do rehab first for the 6 months. Also if using the list they'll let you know if a kidney is from somebody who is formerly a drug addict or an alcoholic.
NTA, you tried to help him when you both were in college and he told you to pound sand so this is on him and your parents. If you do it that's your choice but stand to lose your health as well through no fault of your own, make sure he is no longer drinking or doing something else harmful and he needs to start therapy to deal with his self destructive behavior. This is between you mostly but also your brother and not your parents, they are responsible for this mess.
OP. Offering one of your kidneys up for transplant is not a small decision. It should not be asked lightly, nor should it be given up lightly. While it is true that everyone has 2 kidneys giving up one means that should you unfortunately end up with your kidney damaged you will be searching for someone to give you a transplant. In addition, the surgery to have a kidney removed is not something small or simple. It is a major surgery, under general anesthesia with all of the risks of any other major surgery. And in your case, it is not like this surgery is necessary to save your life, or like your kidney is diseased. You are a perfectly fine, healthy young man that will be giving up a perfectly fine, healthy organ to a person who willfully destroyed both of their kidneys with alcohol I realize that your brother is your brother, but in the end, he made a decision to drink excessively. I would say first of all that giving up an organ to anyone who is still actively abusing their body and destroying their health with a drug or alcohol addiction is stupid. So, I advise a firm NO if your brother is still drinking. I realize that there are illnesses that can damage organs, as well as genetic diseases and accidents. And no, I do understand that alcoholism and addiction is an illness, but much like smoking, everyone knows the consequences of habits like this. OP, you are allowed to decide that it is your kidney to keep in your body. I always would point at there is no doctor here in the United States that is going to want you to give up your kidney if you are having any doubts or misgivings. And I actually do no think any doctor you consulted with would allow you to be bullied or coerced into giving up a kidney. It is my understanding that if you do not want to donate, most doctors will just tell the family that you are not a compatible donor, since they feel you not wanting to donate is a legitimate reason to say not compatible. Please do not offer your kidney to your brother out of guilt, or in hopes of pleasing your parents or expecting any gratitude. A kidney is a precious gift, but it is not a gift if you are being bulled, made to feel selfish, being forced or being blackmailed. And there is not a one of us in this life that would be willing to give a gift so precious without fulling thinking through the what if's and the consequences. Right now, everyone seems focused on your brother and the fact that he is dying. But the truth is that it is possible that you giving this gift to your brother could cost you your life. It could happen if something unexpected happens during the operation and you die. It could happen because for some reason you end up with complications from the surgery and your health ends up going downhill. It could happen in the coming years if your remaining kidney fails.. This decision could end up costing you far more than your parents seem to be understanding right now. It is your body; it is your choice.
Hahahaha fact they were monsters I would DISOWN the parents. 18:10 and that part I ain’t wasting my kidney on a alcoholic yet they wanted OP to waste his kidney that’s hypocrite of the father. But yet back to the Disown the parents why ? Because he wasn’t truly loved he wasn’t the golden child even when waste needed a kidney yet father kept pushing op to donate his when he wouldn’t I would lash at them and say u ain’t no father and with mother I say it to her and call the father a hypocrite.
What a good cousin it's crazy how the cousin you hardly ever speak to would do it but not your own father I guess in a sad way the alcoholic brother was right, nothing they did ever wpulf have gotten them their father's love and improvaal... The only thing that be able to get, was temporary praise until they disappoint their dad again
Nah, don't give your kidney to an alcoholic. It would seem parental neglect made him so unhappy that he turned to alcohol, why not let the parents offer up their kidneys instead. He'll keep drinking to feel better because he's miserable. That's how it goes.
Glad all went well for Bryce! Had an alcoholic SIL, needed kidney, had influential parents and was bumped up the donor list. She received the kidney and shortly after began drinking once more only to have kidney failure once again. Oh yeah, another kidney donated. At what point do you accept reality and no longer feel bad. Two kidney’s that could have gone to individuals who would have been grateful to receive!
Wow your parents are terrible people!!! Their also hypocrites I'm so sorry OP that you and your brother had parents like that!! How can a dad let their child die when he can save him!! So evil!!
Sounds like everyone got the happy ending they deserved Mom and dad got their happy ending with each other Bryce got a new lease on life and has OP and his cousin. Hopefully he will stay sober now
You shouldn't be forced by your family when this person has done this to him self so it's his own fault compassion is important but it's the parents are at fault because of a messy divorce
At first, I didn’t think the brother could turn his life around. I’m glad he did and they have a relationship in this case. I’m glad I was wrong the parents are a whole Nother story.
Don't do it, I've still got a brother who disappeared after bloodworm once he found out he was not a match for my cancer and reappeared later for forgiveness,,not really but for selfish reasons
So who is going to donate the next kidney, transplants don't last forever, I had an Aunt who had 3 kidney transplants, she still ended up passing a few years back!
While sure, it's a choice to donate or not, that's not a problem and it should be defended, it's quite clear though the father chose not the donate out of malicious selfishness because he truly believed his son was unworthy of his love from basically the moment Bryce was born. So I'm not surprised there are negative consequences for him because that's what happens when you decide to be a jerk just to be a jerk. He doesn't have the good reasons that most others would have when it comes not donating, he's simply an a-hole. And now he lost any support for OP and he can't demand what he himself wouldn't give.
Whilst you are 'closer' in chance to be a match it is not always gaurenteed if you are a sibling. But op should tell the doctor if he goes to be tested he is being 'pressured', they will then say he is not a match.
Drunks don't get to have donations for organ transplant by federal law they have to be clean for that. I'd definitely contact the donor center - he'll be moved to bottom of list. Regardless of what the family wants. But, IT'S called a drama series. Facts and ACTUAL laws don't matter in such fantasies.
I have no judgement on O.P. he offered to help for 3 months but yet paying for his brother so like parents made him put his brother first....he did that but it came at there own heavy cost of letting parents go. I'm sorry to say but be careful of what you ask for you just may get it
As an alcoholic, he won't qualify for UNOS. His only option is a voluntary donation. It's a hard choice for OP. I mean, there is every chance that he donates and the brother will continue his bad habits and ruin the new kidney as well. But there's also the possibility that donating his kidney gives the brother a new lease on life and the opportunity to fix his ways and live a new, better life, with a purpose and a family. It's a really difficult decision.
Donating isn’t an easy decision yes I volunteered to donate my liver to my big brother but we had a great sibling relationship he was my best friend but I was told the operation would kill me so that wasn’t an option
The phrasing seems a little weird - I get they’re not close but can’t he just say he doesn’t want to donate rather than saying that he’s not close anymore and doesn’t want to donate to him? Just a weird way to say it I think.
OP’s father decided to retire in his late 50s. His parents have a house, and if it’s almost paid off, they’ll make a very nice profit from the sale of the house. If they’re in the United States, medical bills can and will bankrupt them unless his retirement agreement allows him to continue his insurance through the company, and if it’s good insurance, they should be able to pay for their medical expenses. If his father was financially secure enough to retire that early, his parents will be far from destitute when OP stops paying their bills. OP’s parents are aggressive and demanding. Threatening to sue him for support. They emotionally and financially abused him and now they have to deal with the consequences of their actions.
When testing, I'd tell them i was being forced. That you would like to know the result but, until id decided, jo one will know and if pressed, the answer will he incompatible. Op is not a hypocrite regarding his father since his father was pressuring him to do something he wouldn't.
You really should not defame a whole group of people. Maybe you met a bad person but that doesn't mean we are all that way! Defamation can be a very costly barb to use! Sounds like your issues were caused by a parent or grandparent.. and saying something like this makes you sound very juvenile! Do better. Stay safe please , peace.
Nobody in the world even the parents has the authority, entitlement, or even the rights, to make a decision of donating anything that belongs to you, let alone your kidney or chutney.
I would have figured that Bryce would have had cirrhosis of the liver before kidney failure with being an alcoholic. Besides that, donating a kidney is not much an issue. My brother did it for a friend, now he is on a standby list if someday his remaining kidney was to fail he would be placed high up on the list for transplant. I don't think that Bryce having his kidneys fail is a direct result of alcoholism, it could have contributed in some way but not the cause. I suffer with kidney disease, eventually they may stop working but by no means is it from alcohol, I don't drink alcohol. I am sure though, having this life changing event will make someone think about how to keep themselves better.
What a scumbag of a father Op did good I wouldn’t have given a dime after they threatened to kick me out if I didn’t give my kidney why give any money when they were gonna kick me out and he did the follow didn’t even have the heart to give a kidney. He’s not young delivered. We don’t know how long we have left we get older, his parents are both come back because she wouldn’t push her husband to help. I love you. Parent will do anything to save their kids life..
1. The very begining of the video, should he give his kidney to alcho bro. NO 2. Its Op job to look aftef his bro. Its his bros job to look afyer his own kidney. NO. 3. Stop the hes a victim bull in the story. Alot of people have gone threw alotbworse in life and don't destroy themselfs. NO 4. Your bro will just drink himself to death again. So NO 5. Leave your family to the roachers.
Later On Three months later: The father, this time going through some massive financial crisis, decided to ask his son for help but he still refused and told him that he already did his part but then the father was being intimidating again and the MC snapped and dared him to do what he did and he also mentioned to his father that he dare him to sue and if he wants to get violent, they he is ready to throw down because the MC wants to beat the crap out of his father and put him through hell. The father toned down his voice and started being nice again and begged and pleaded but the MC told him to come though and take it hitting his fist. The MC actually provoked him and told him to come and the parents did came. Once they went to the house, the father tried to scare the MC and throw one at him but then the MC punched him right in the face and beat the crap out of him. He punched him so hard, that the father ended up bleeding in the nose and had a black eye. He also ended up with a swollen face. The OP told his mom to take the trash and leave and the mother left. The father ended up with more debt after the beat down from his son and also developed PSTD. He stopped leaving the house since then and shut himself in. The mother seeing that he is useless now, decided to divorce him and moved into a retirement home far away leaving the father to fend for himself. Months later: He died from alcohol poisoning.
Parents: Mad about possibly not donating and hyping it up to save him Parents: Now mad he can support house and parents because he basically saved said son and is now helping him recover, what the wanted. (Confusedspongbob.jpeg)
If you don't want to donate, just tell the donor center, you are being forced to do this.
Yeah, because all you need to do is tell the doctors you don’t wanna donate and to tell them you’re not a match and they’ll do that
Transplant of a kidney of an alcoholic would never be done unless that alcoholic has been sober for at least a year.
I am confused? I thought that it was the LIVER that alcoholism ruined? I guess its not good for the kidneys either but I find it odd that his liver seems to be healthy.

They were absolutely not be eligible for any transplant whatsoever
I wouldn't have paid the next 3 months. I would have told Dad to get a job since he's still got his kidneys and don't have to worry about it

Especially when this guy is being treated as a scapegoat child when shit hits the fan due to their own negligence
If he is still drinking I would say that is a no.
If he is still drinking I don't think they will do a transplant

Uh, would an alcoholic even be considered for a transplant? He’s just going to ruin it, also.
I think that abusers are isually not priority patients when it cones to orgam transplants

It is considered a concept directed donation without the limitations that being on a UNOS list would entail.

If he’s to far gone, no, if he can prove he can stay sober “maybe”, depends on certain factors

We need both our kidneys. If someone deliberately wrecks theirs don’t give them yours.
Don't do it, I've still got a brother who disappeared after bloodworm once he found out he was not a match for my cancer and reappeared later for forgiveness,,not really but for selfish reasons
Good for you OP and KuDos to your Cousin🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Truth be told if can't stop drinking then they won't do it anyway. Doctors won't allow it.
So who is going to donate the next kidney, transplants don't last forever, I had an Aunt who had 3 kidney transplants, she still ended up passing a few years back!

Donating isn’t an easy decision yes I volunteered to donate my liver to my big brother but we had a great sibling relationship he was my best friend but I was told the operation would kill me so that wasn’t an option
Never waste a kidney on an alcoholic
It so funny how parents think it’s ok to use one child’s organs as if they can make you give them one if your organs and you are to say nothing
Awsome character voice.
You don't get CKD from drinking. It's from diabetis or high blood pressure.
The phrasing seems a little weird - I get they’re not close but can’t he just say he doesn’t want to donate rather than saying that he’s not close anymore and doesn’t want to donate to him? Just a weird way to say it I think.
Watched the rest now, I think I’m understanding the internal conflict now, idk.

Its actually harder on the donater then the recipient
I wouldn’t, he doesn’t care about himself .
I agree to what op did and also I would have told the father that he refused to give his younger son a kidney
Op was rightly scared and wanted to help, Dad was shitty to op for hesitation and didn't help, good and bad isn't even a contest here.
OP calling out dad for not wanting to donate is mostly hypocritical as parents tried to convince OP of doin the same
When testing, I'd tell them i was being forced. That you would like to know the result but, until id decided, jo one will know and if pressed, the answer will he incompatible.
Op is not a hypocrite regarding his father since his father was pressuring him to do something he wouldn't.
Having a morale sure kills
Isn't he going to get a surprise when they go back on their promise to downsize their house once he's done paying for it.
Classic boomer tactic.
You really should not defame a whole group of people. Maybe you met a bad person but that doesn't mean we are all that way! Defamation can be a very costly barb to use! Sounds like your issues were caused by a parent or grandparent.. and saying something like this makes you sound very juvenile! Do better. Stay safe please , peace.
@@louellacharlton4425 The furious denials of the justly accused.
Typical boomer response.
Another donor ?
Nobody in the world even the parents has the authority, entitlement, or even the rights, to make a decision of donating anything that belongs to you, let alone your kidney or chutney.
Because they have money, they can find a kidney and pay for the transplant themselves. The not being eligible is for being on the donor list.
I would have figured that Bryce would have had cirrhosis of the liver before kidney failure with being an alcoholic. Besides that, donating a kidney is not much an issue. My brother did it for a friend, now he is on a standby list if someday his remaining kidney was to fail he would be placed high up on the list for transplant. I don't think that Bryce having his kidneys fail is a direct result of alcoholism, it could have contributed in some way but not the cause. I suffer with kidney disease, eventually they may stop working but by no means is it from alcohol, I don't drink alcohol. I am sure though, having this life changing event will make someone think about how to keep themselves better.
What a scumbag of a father Op did good I wouldn’t have given a dime after they threatened to kick me out if I didn’t give my kidney why give any money when they were gonna kick me out and he did the follow didn’t even have the heart to give a kidney. He’s not young delivered. We don’t know how long we have left we get older, his parents are both come back because she wouldn’t push her husband to help. I love you. Parent will do anything to save their kids life..
Soooo, how was he the golden child?
The dad hated both of them and the mother was indifferent.
1. The very begining of the video, should he give his kidney to alcho bro. NO
2. Its Op job to look aftef his bro. Its his bros job to look afyer his own kidney. NO.
3. Stop the hes a victim bull in the story. Alot of people have gone threw alotbworse in life and don't destroy themselfs. NO
4. Your bro will just drink himself to death again. So NO
5. Leave your family to the roachers.
How dare the parents do this. He's an alcoholic. So you try to force the other son. Can see who the golden child is....
Your brother doesn’t care, the bottle is the only thing he cares about
Tell doctor you are being bullied by your parents
If my brother Mike needed a kidney he can drop over before I would help him I can not stand him
Later On Three months later:
The father, this time going through some massive financial crisis, decided to ask his son for help but he still refused and told him that he already did his part but then the father was being intimidating again and the MC snapped and dared him to do what he did and he also mentioned to his father that he dare him to sue and if he wants to get violent, they he is ready to throw down because the MC wants to beat the crap out of his father and put him through hell. The father toned down his voice and started being nice again and begged and pleaded but the MC told him to come though and take it hitting his fist. The MC actually provoked him and told him to come and the parents did came. Once they went to the house, the father tried to scare the MC and throw one at him but then the MC punched him right in the face and beat the crap out of him. He punched him so hard, that the father ended up bleeding in the nose and had a black eye. He also ended up with a swollen face. The OP told his mom to take the trash and leave and the mother left. The father ended up with more debt after the beat down from his son and also developed PSTD. He stopped leaving the house since then and shut himself in. The mother seeing that he is useless now, decided to divorce him and moved into a retirement home far away leaving the father to fend for himself.
Months later:
He died from alcohol poisoning.
16:42 for anyone who can't stomach this man's voice and need to get to the meat of it all the part in the title starts here 16:42
He picks good stories but dear God this man's voice is absolutely awful...
Don't do it
Can you use a differently voice like tf it sounds like he's got a peg on his nose or something
Tell the doctor you are being bully into doing it
Tell them you aren’t a match
The first 10 minutes of the story are absolutely wasted spaced. Why can't you just tell the story without all the BS in it.
Parents:
Mad about possibly not donating and hyping it up to save him
Parents:
Now mad he can support house and parents because he basically saved said son and is now helping him recover, what the wanted.
