truancy issues and his juvenile record. Another Treyvon in the making. Bet we don't get the followup story when this future banger needs another heart because he didn't take his anti-rejection medicine.
I'm waiting also for the news to report on who died becasue this young Treyvon got a heart and some other kid didn't
I wonder if he tweets as no_limit_heart_patient??
I think I see how these death panels are supposed to work. I guess my odds are not good at all.
I bet he goes out and steals something nice for them.
however, getting a transplant is a huge, expensive undertaking, and the character and habits of the recipient is very, very important...
this young man wil have to take care of himself, take meds daily, and see the dr. frequently......does he have the character to do that, seeing how he has skipped school and has some sort of "juvenile" record already...
This was the first time I read anything about it before I got to a name, etc. I realized going from nowhere to 1st on the list meant this kid is black. He got a Trayvon white-guilt pass to the head of the line.
So, we now see that other matters irrespective of true fairness will be operative in the Obama Care miasma. If you’re black and can make a big stink, you’re home free - carte blanche, anything you need, at little or no cost to you. Blacks’ hypocrisy on sh!t like this is unlimited. Yeah...call me racist. I don’t care. That crap don’t play no more.
I’m happy for the kid... but what if we have THOUSANDS of cases like this? Do we have enough hearts to supply them?
I think the truancy issues and his juvenile record were not moral factors in the decision at all, but practical factors - will he comply with anti-rejection medications and physician visits, or will he blow them off and waste the heart?
The hospital was prohibited from commenting further because of HIPPA rules.
I heard this story, and I know he has had some issues, but he’s still a 15 year old kid who is dying. I wish him the best and hope he uses this to turn his life around.
Basically, we’re seeing Obamacare already kick in with the predicted favoritism towards favored minorities and members of favored political parties. Want a new heart and you’re not a poor black inner city yute, well, you damn well register Democrat and donate some big bucks to the right Democrat campaigns.
