Life is all that matters – ch. 12
“So, doctor what comes next?”
“More exams. The next ones are more specifics, for example, some serology and a MRI to decide which lobe you would donate. And a psychological evaluation”
“What? What for?” asked simultaneously a surprised Alice and a not pleased Bette.
“It’s standard procedure to evaluate if the reasons to the donation are right and if the donor understands the risks of the procedure.”
“I’m a graduate in Yale. Of course I can understand what you are saying about the risks. Can we skip this part? So we can move forward faster?”
“I’m sorry Bette. It’s mandatory. And it won’t retard the process, we have enough time within those weeks.”
“Weeks?” asked Alice. “Tina can wait weeks for a transplant?”
“I really don’t know. But it’s usual to wait four weeks before the transplant, to make sure there are no regrets of the donor.”
“She’s my wife. Why in the hell I would regret to save her life giving her something that will regenerate? I’m not giving my last kidney, why so much trouble?”
“Bette, I know you are anxious to donate, but they are standard procedures. To follow the rules even when they seem no sense or unnecessary it’s the guarantee of the competence and transparence of the process. That makes the people sure that the row will be respect and to the family of the dead donors that their loved ones will be treated respectfully and that that system are trustful. You, as a intelligent person, graduated in Yale and with strong values must think that these rules are reasonable.”
“Okay, what else I can do except to accept that.”
“Is there anything more?” asked Alice, trying to calm Bette’s frustration with the rules.
“Just one more thing, to inform Tina of the donation.”
“But wouldn’t be anonymous?”
“Yes, we won’t say the donor’s name if you don’t want to. But she needs to know.”
“Why? Can’t she think it was from a cadaver?”
“No, because we will need to follow the liver growth after the transplant. The post- operative follow-up is different in this case.”
