Any of you ride motorcycles?

When a doc sees a biker he thinks not "oh what a rebel - living for speed!".

He (or she) think "oooh, spare parts reserve!"

Animal; the reason why someone would be happy if he/she

got yer schlong would be because it's brand spanking new never been used.

Had mine since 1976, altho I get a twinge every once in a while thinking about the ol Monty Python Organ Donor skit

My wife deals with organ donors all the time, she works in a level 4 Trauma center, one of only 6 like it in the U.S. If we did not have donors, alot of unnecessary life would be wasted. Please, be an organ donor.

I agree with the concept of donating organs.

I do believe that there is a little too much enthusiasm on the part of hospital staff to declare people dead before they are actually dead however.

Yeager, in Harbview, they keep patients alive for harvesting only if they're suffered irrepairable brain damage. And they do that so they can save the life of someone else that doesn't have irrepairable brain damage.

Rip, I got the greatest of respect for medical personell. Father's a doc and mother's a med student.

It's one of the few professions where (if you want) you can feel that you actually make a difference. A positive one that is. Sure, amongst docs lotta bickering and status riding but I've been fortunate enough to meet some people to whom helping out is the primary concern.

My sis is such a person, she's gonna be a good doc.

Plus she can gimme all kinds of funky medicines when she graduates. Muahahaha.
