New book about living donation
Hi Everyone, I wanted to let you know that my new book about living donation from strangers (Good Sam Donors) is now pre-selling at Amazon.com. If you work at a transplant center which assesses these donor candidates (or are thinking about modifying your program to allow this), or if you are thinking about becoming a living donor, the book is a real eye-opener into the world of ethics and altruism. I have assembled a website for the book. Feel free to pass the link on to others who might want to add the book to their personal or medical library. Also, I send a huge thank you to the 22 donors (liver, kidney, lung) profiled in the book. Educational and inspiring, you'll start reading and won't be able to stop!

rohana miller replied to Diana Petersen's discussion How long has your transplanted kidney lasted"Arleen, have you looked up high purine foods on the internet? If you have not done that, I highly recommend it. You might find foods you enjoy eating are the culprit, not just beer. A half cup serving is pretty much what every food is…"
Arleen Dodson replied to Diana Petersen's discussion How long has your transplanted kidney lasted"You are lucky that your ins agent didn't receive a cadaver kidney that's prob why it has lasted so long.
