New liver for President Underwood (House of Cards series 4)

7 Replies

It is always interesting to see depictions of liver related issues on TV and episode 6 of the above has devious President Frank of USA being pushed to the top of the transplant list by senior officials. He makes a very quick recovery - looks like a few days. More brief summaries to follow if they pursue the story line.

I love the episode when he is having his hallucinations,with the people he killed.

But ofcourse he has to make a quick recovery - who would watch these series without Kevin Spacey? He has a lot of evil work to do yet.

You are right and I was obviously suppressing my memories of the hallucinations I had post op. These were incredibly vivid and in many ways unpleasant but stopped when I was taken off morphine. It would not be a spoiler to say that the evil Frank made a quick recovery - something all transplant survivors deserve.

Absolutely agree,all transplant survivors deserve a quick recovery,as well as the same level of medical care as Frank.But also they do deserve more loving and caring partners,that wouldn't abandon them for a political career however brilliant it might be.
