Why the fuck would they do this?
My guess would be that the motive was trying to ensure that the patients who received a transplant there would be successful. In other words, trying to ‘cherry pick’ which patients make it to transplant in order to make their success rate artificially high. Being a transplant surgeon can be very prestigious and if your numbers make you the best of the best…
Oooh good guess. That’s so cold. I’m curious to see how this plays out.
one of the patients denied seems to have been a toddler. I would think someone that young would be a good candidate to adapt to a new liver, seeing how the liver works. Makes me wonder what his idea of who should get a liver is.
Article doesn’t say or mention if it was a specific type of patient who’s records were altered. However, I’m going to assume this dr has a god complex. If its true that he altered records so some people couldn’t get transplants, it’s because he believed they didn’t deserve it.
His punishment should be liver donation.
