Keep this in your thoughts please...

[Dr. Nole]

This is a sorority sister of my wife's from the mid '80's at FSU. There was a reunion for them this weekend and this woman was going to be there...she had a brain aneurysm just the other day.

""
Have you ever noticed the Donate Life flag flying above the entrance to UF Health Shands Hospital? It is flown each time there is an organ donor at the hospital, paying respects to donors and their family members, as they made the choice to give the gift of life.

Yesterday, September 21st, that flag was flown in honor of Carmen Roberson Greiner. It will continue to fly until her organs are placed.

Because of a choice she made early in life to become an organ donor, she is now helping 5 other people extend their own lives. Her heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and eyes have all been matched to recipients within the southeast. Surgery is scheduled for the morning of September 23rd at 11am. Please pray that each of the upcoming surgeries are a success.

So as a reminder to all of you Noles (yes that's coming from a Gator) watching the game tomorrow, just know that one of your own is truly making a difference in this world.

If you're interested in becoming an organ donor please visit www.donatelifeflorida.org or LifeQuest Organ Recovery Services.""

Thanks for posting that Doc.

A friend got a new heart earlier this year after being on the list for almost 3 years.

I know this is nonsense but I've always had the fear they'd let me croak in the e.r. if they know I was an organ donor.

If I had your mug I'd be worried too.

Yup. They did this for my dad at the hospital where he passed. We took lots of pictures, and they followed up with a certificate and recognition at an annual event they hold for everyone who donated.

I may not get a lot right, but I at least know that when I go I might get to help some other people out.

Not sure what mug you are referring to .
I don't have a profile photo.

Nope. The doctors/nurses/RTs/whoever working on you have one goal - to save you. And they are different from the organ recovery team.
