    I always find this interesting, because even if a relative gifts you a kidney I can't believe you don't feel indebted for life anyway

      I know Sarah Hyland felt incredibly guilty over her little brother donating his kidney for her because her dad had donated his kidney for her the first time but sadly it was rejected and not viable. So she felt guilty, especially since she is the older sibling and felt like she should be the one protecting and helping her little brother rather than him being the one who saves her. Obviously she didn’t do anything wrong and all of that but I don’t know how she would feel since I have never been in that situation. I’d say a lot of organ recipients feel that guilt.

    For those of you unaware - organs bought are from poor people exploited by the rich. The "donor" is someone beyond desperate for cash and sells their organ, decreasing their quality and quantity of life, whole the rich person has no such downside.

    There was a case in the US where a woman donated a kidney to her boss and then she was fired. People are initially ecstatic to get the transplant, but their gratitude depletes over time. I'm not a huge follower of celebrity news but I remember Selena Gomez needing a kidney transplant and she got one from a friend who was in her early 20's. At the time Selena was gushing about her friend and how much she owed her etc etc. I read recently there's some drama about Selena not acknowleding her friend anymore.
    Donating a kidney is a HUGE deal. You might think you will be in that person's life for life, but that's not the case. However, you will be dealing with the consequences of only having one kidney for the rest of your life. Hence why medical professionals do their best to make sure that you are making an informed decision. People being pressured into donating is a real thing. It could be because they're related, or it could be because they're poor and looking to make quick money and don't realise the life long effects.

    It shows that we need doctors to triple check when it comes to ANY gut instinct. Be it a diagnosis or if the patient is lying or ANYTHING as this could have been a Black Market buy. It could have been.
    I know this is a show, but it shows that ANYONE following their gut or their instinct isn't a bad thing. If something feels hanky, follow it and discuss it with others until its either proven otherwise or you were right. That goes for not just doctors, but people you see at a bar or you see someone with a suspicious bruise etc. As long as you don't hurt anyone (mentally or physically) or break the law, then it could save a life.

    I had a professor from Moldova in college. She told me their official language is Romanian, but many people do speak Russian because Russia still has a military base there to this day, from the time of the Soviet Union. (That professor is very pro-Ukraine haha.) And of course she also learned English to work and teach in the U.S.

    • @uxcurious
      @uxcurious ปีที่แล้ว +4

      To clarify on this - many people speak Russian because the country was in the Soviet Union until 1991 and Russian language was required everywhere. This means a few generations were raised under heavy Russian influence so even after the fall of URSSR the use of the language stayed. Moldova is a bilingual country at this point. In school kids learn even more languages so knowing 3+ languages is normal. Russia has a military base in Transnistria (east of the country) which is an unrecognized breakaway state but Moldova doesn't have much say over that land. Source: born and raised in Moldova.

If you were a match for your sister and you could choose between saving your sister's life or a match offering you two million dollars. How many people would choose to save their sister?

    The world of organ transplants and donations is a very sticky thing. I'm in the position where I will likely need a transplant one day, but due to my illness will not qualify for an organ through UNOS so a direct donation would be my only option and there are few to almost none potential donors for me in my family. But even if there was, I wouldn't feel right asking anyone to donate to me. The underlying illness that is damaging my organs has no cure, so how I could I ask someone to donate an organ that likely would suffer the same fate as my own?

    • @studentofsmith
      @studentofsmith ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It depends. How much longer are you likely to live with the transplant and what would your quality of life be? How much shorter would the donors life be and what impact would it have on their quality of life? Finally, how important are you to the donor? Maybe they feel keeping you around a while longer is worth it.
      I'm not suggesting you make a request, that could put them in an impossible position, but if they offer don't reject it out of hand. They may have their reasons. It should at least be discussed so you both clearly understand the risks involved and are under no illusions about the potential benefits.

    • @feliciatierney2265
      @feliciatierney2265 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @studentofsmith I wouldn't reject it out of hand, but when I say the list of potential donors is practically none, I'm very serious. My children are not biologically mine, I have no siblings, and my husband has a different blood type. My only options would be my 1st cousins, whom I'm not particularly close with.
      The other issue is quality of life. Living with my illness is difficult under the best of circumstances. I've said from the beginning that I'm far more concerned about the quality of my life than the length of it. Living with a painful chronic illness is not for the faint of heart, and there are a lot of days you just want the pain to end. You just want to finally be at peace.

    If i were to donate an organ, especially to a stranger, i wouldn't want to be forever in their life. And i sure wouldn't want to feel obligated to be in someone's life cause they donated to me either. Of course donating should be appreciated as the act of sacrifice and kindness it is (when its not coerced), but if you donate in exchange for a lifetime of gratitude i don't think you're doing it for the right reason.
    If a bond develops naturally and you actually strike a friendship with the donor/receiver that's great. But having been donated to should be used as a guilt trip card for life to keep either person compromised in a relationship they may not want.

    • @ladyoxygene24
      @ladyoxygene24 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      1- no. Not at all. The hospital that has the donor virtually never uses the donor organs. They’re distributed according to need by UNOS. And the neurology team doesn’t perform transplants. It’s not their patients. Plus even if all doctors were sociopaths, they wouldn’t wanna have their survival stats go down.
      2- it can be. This is because you go into the surgery feeling well whilst the recipient goes in pretty sick. So one of you feels better overall post op whist the other doesn’t. There also can be issues but they’re rare.
      If you ever need a kidney and are a former donor, you’re prioritized for a deceased donor transplant.

    The showwriters really tried to cover their bases with this scenario. There are a lot of languages in the world, and while many people, even if there primary language is pretty rare, speak a secondary language, there definitely are still people who only speak a single, rarely-spoken language. The Gagauz people number less than 200,000 in the world, with the Gaugaz language likely having far less than that. Gaugazia is a very small autonomous territory in an already (speaking in general terms) under-developed economy. While Romanian is the official language in Moldova, and other languages like Russian and Ukrainian are also spoken relatively commonly, Gaugazia specifically has Gaugaz as its official language. Moldova itself was a widely anti-Soviet country, and Gaugazia was notably anti-Romanian, so it's not unlikely that a poor family in a small village would only know Gagauz.
