Yes....even when I was accepted on to the transplant list the nurse mentioned to me how well I looked...in fact he mentioned it a few time to the point my other half got annoyed with him!
Yep ! I get that " oh you look really well " upon telling my eldest son I was now in end stage cirrhosis he replied ( even at the age of 32 and a manger) oh that's ok mom you can just have a transplant then it will be ok 🤔🤔😂😂.. if only it was that easy !
Or the classic "How long do you have left?" - because obviously, anyone who has been told they don't *need* a transplant is going to die soon *eyeroll*
He he your post is funny indeed ....... the irony though of a lot of us being completely clueless ....... but must admit some of what you write is bizarre
There have also actually been PIG to HUMAN liver transplants so perhaps the person asking this particular question had heard of that. Look up 'pigs liver used in human transplant' and there are numerous stories including one in 1992 when a woman in USA had a pig liver as a 'bridge' transplant to keep her alive until a human one became available for transplant.
They are also experimenting on growing human organs from stem cells but hosted within a pig.
The research and developments which are always going on will eventually hopefully bring a 'bank' of organs. In the Liver Transplantation course on Future Learn I am sure they were looking at peoples stem cells being harvested and growing your own spare organs.
It's amazing isn't it Katie; how far we have come along on medical research and life saving abilities! I am astounded on a daily basis about what can be achieved!!
