Yep. Had an uncle who got into a pretty bad accident a while back and was a registered organ donor. They had to do a ton of surgeries on him to get him stabilized and he was still unconscious a while later. The doctor comes into the room, says that he’s obviously brain dead and that they need to take his organs since he’s a donor. My dad told the doctor that he’d rather wait a couple days to see if there were any developments. The doctor gets mad, says that my dad is being selfish and that if they don’t harvest my uncle’s organs right now then they’re not going to be usable…to which my dad just replied that it didn’t matter if he was brain dead for 10 hours or 10 months, the organs are still going to be just as fine.
The doctor gets all upset and slams out of the room. A couple days later my uncle wakes up…with a pretty big headache lol…but otherwise doing fine.
Think something like 90% of my close family were organ donors before that. Now the number’s 0%.
A MASSIVE amount of organ “donations” have back door money involved, think a heart is something like $100,000 by itself. That money sure as hell isn’t going to the insurance. Makes you wonder why that doctor was so mad…hmm…
This is why I dont like doctors.... they have a completely mis-appropriated and unearned "god complex" (unearned b/c the therapies and drugs they push dont even work, and are typically unhealthful to the patient). The longer I live, the more I realize doctors are just threatened and acting out like a cornered animal. Threatened by patients who are knowledgeable (ie doing their own independent research and dont need their big pharma drugs) and unwilling to submit themselves to big pharma's / medical industrial complex control.

Your dad should've told that "doctor" they would use his organs instead.
