And, , , , I am FREAKED out with the thought of when MY SCT Nurse Practitioner told me that SHE would pick the Very Best of the 3 Perfect Matches for me!!!! OMG!! Much more to this story.

Couldn't you have just looked them up on "23 & Me"? Just kidding Ding, that pretty cool. Sharing DNA with someone is just amazing to me.

Its not the most exciting way to share bodily fluids, but definitely the most lasting.

Great to hear. When I lived in Portland, the Oregon Symphony's much-loved music director, James DePreist, needed a kidney transplant and someone in the metro area matched and donated. The name eventually became public.

Back in later 2020 when the transplant was becoming "real" and Donna told be that she would pick "the very best one", , , , , , one of the bar flies spoke up about letting a "nurse" make such a choice, , , , "just a nurse, where's the doctor, , , ,?"
He still wasn't happy when I told him that the Team of doctors at Vandy had thoroughly reviewed the three donors and agreed that Be The Match was correct in the "three perfect matches" offer. I still had to explain to him who Donna is and at that, her "opinion" IS THE OPINION. ------------------------- Dora Hates You |

Good nurses are heros, and since they end up doing most of the actual grunt work, often know more than the docs what the true situation is

We've exchanged messages and we have each other's contact info. We'll probably get together in a couple weeks.
MY SCT Nurse Practitioner Donna takes care of us Vets, before and after transplant, in the Nation's NUMBER ONE Stem Cell Transplant group. She KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON. When there is an important question, , , , ,"ask Donna". Absolute Poetry In Motion. And Rachel, MY SCT Long Term Care Nurse Practitioner in Nashville, is regarded as Number One in the WORLD by the Director's of the nation's Top Tier Stem Cell Transplant centers. Their Long Term Care folks call Rachel for The 411 !! She and MY Doctor Bipin Savani pretty much really did write the "book" (Rachel has worked with Doctor S for 15 years developing all of the processes). ------------------------- Dora Hates You Edited: 03/26/2023 at 04:30 AM by dingpatch |
