How Kidney Transplant Centers are Manipulating the Transplant Waitlist

[@tonycap49]

I’ve been on the list for 6 1/2 years. A year in a half ago they sent letters saying I was in the top ten. I get these letters monthly, always stating I’m in the top ten. I got a call last June to be ready for a kidney coming and I was number 2, and I would get it if they couldn’t reach the number 1 person. They kidney turned out not to be good. Then I got a call in late November. Same deal, there was a kidney coming and I was number 2. That kidney didn’t work out either. Now it’s middle of March and nothing. I have kept every appointment, passed every test, and get bloodwork monthly. I’m starting to think something isn’t right.

Very interesting study that seems like it will continue to drive discussion and hopefully process improvement

Did they check for corruption/money?
