Deal or no deal


I gave gas to both husband and wife today - wife donating her kidney to her husband who's an end stage renal failure patient. Both are fairly young , the husband his early thirties and the wife late twenties.Why she decided to do it , for love i suppose ; till death do they part. Sweet isn't it ?

This is the third case I've came across ; where the donor-recipient are husband and wife . What a sacrifice huh ? Dunno about kickbacks if it is between the spouse. I only discovered today that nowadays , you don't really need to type-match the kidney as how we used to do it ( what i used to learn in the textbook ). The most important thing is the blood group match ; no reactivity against each other. Then , the new immunosuppressive drugs will handle the rest. These drugs are so potent and fairly safe that anybody's kidney may fit into your body for transplant ! However , in our country ; to avoid organ selling and abiding ethics , only family members or spouse are allowed to donate their kidney for transplant.. Interesting eih.. Subhanallah..

And to this , a friend said"Kalau perempuan , kerana cinta ; memang sanggup je derma organ dia .. Kalau lelaki agaknya , taknak and harapkan isteri dia mati cepat so boleh kahwin lain... "

Hahahahaha.. an interesting quote! Care to comment ?

I guess there's a hint of truth in that statement. Once I was at a clinic, a couple walked out of the consultation room. The wife revealed what I assumed to be her diagnosis to the husband. To everyone's surprise, the husband said out loud "macam ini ke bini aku??!!!" The wife was just as shocked as everybody else.
