Eh, that's on the assumption that they're really hurting for work. They aren't.
There are plenty of transplants that need to be performed. There's just not enough organs to go around to everyone who needs them.
So if you don't donate your kidney? Then the patient doesn't get a kidney. But the hospital doesn't lose money. They just schedule a different surgery for that time slot. There's always another transplant they can do.
So yeah, the only person who loses is the patient. The hospital is still paying its bills regardless of which patient they schedule for that day or where the liver they're transplanting is coming from.
Of course they can operate on a patient without an organ. They just do a different procedure to try to solve the problem until they get an organ.
Instead of getting the organ and fixing the problem, they can treat the patient over and over again. For years. Until eventually an organ shows up and they are able to fix the problem.
And they can charge the patient for that intensive care and medication for years until they eventually die.
So if that’s what you’re trying to do, then do the organ donation. Ultimately doctors get less money for fixing the kidney problem with a transplant than they do with lifelong dialysis treatments waiting for a kidney.
