The patient reps on the Board just resigned in protest…This is big news and huge distrust in the system for organ allocation in the US.

    Not being in the US, I hadn't heard of this. I try to keep my news focused and not get overwhelmed by the state of everything. But I'm definitely going to look into this a little bit further

    This is an older story, but one that should not be ignored. The last few weeks in America have all of us afraid. The organ donation system has had problems for many years. That being said, I have not seen/heard of any direct hit to “us”. Keep informed and ready to advocate!
