Are you doctors , or are you medically trained?

I'm rather suspicious of this one Bob, it appears to be a closed group with little or no background information.

I may be wrong, hope I am.

Glad to say you are wrong this new group has been setup by Prometheus to support t ransplantees, their friends, families carers, the families of donors, partial donors, Tec we are not medical but we welcome medical people. One concern is Ellisons propsals to cut support for those with health care induced HCV. But that's not all it's about. There is no background because today is the first day the page was posted.

Prometheus seems so appropriate I use the name Prometheus as my nom de gurre if you have a sugestion for a better image go for it the group belongs to its users so feel free to make suggestions to improve the page.

I'm a bit of a philistine but I get the Prometheus relevance, an indication of how much the ancient Greeks understood about the regenerative properties of the liver.

Have you seen the film Prometheus? I'm a big sci-fi fan and love the Alien franchise!
