I have had a couple of friends attempt to donate blood recently who were turned away because the machines weren’t able to draw from them.
Tubing issues were blamed first.
Eventually, the staff told them they couldn’t donate because the flow was being blocked by clots.
In both arms.
These people are all under the age of 35, by the way. And were under the impression they had no health issues.
Our family lost a really good friend back in the nineties that we suspect was the victim of hospital malfeasance. He was a very healthy man in his late forties when he had to have some minor surgery that required hospitalization. In the middle of the night his wife was called and told there had been a problem. She rushed back to the hospital to find her husband on life support and told he was brain dead. She never got a straight answer as to what really happened. Everything was moving so quickly and she was in shock with no one there to help her. She was bamboozled into donating his organs - the hospital where he was at was a major transplant research hospital. When she realized what the hell had happened it was too late.
She did manage to steal his medical records from the hospital before they could change anything when they realized that she was not going away. But, she could not get an attorney to even take the case. How was she going to prove that he was killed for his organs? Loma Linda was a huge research hospital with lots of clout. People just don't want to believe that these types of things take place - especially in the US.
I've heard entire hospitals in China are built for organ harvesting.
Yes they do. You can get anything you want there for the right price. The organ harvesting here is the US is an ugly business hiding behind altruism.
