What's this?

We think of it as a learning experience for the medical profession.

She was the first adult transplant in RVA, so she (and we) knew there were risks.

We knew the surgeon. He worked on my mom a year or 2 earlier. My dad said he wanted the best, and asked him if he was. Doc said, maybe 3rd or 4th....in the world. Dad checked around and several said he was being humble. No worse than 2nd or 3rd, behind Starzl in Pittsburgh.
He's the reason (and her comfort and faith in him) her actual transplant was so successful.

She got a 3 year bonus with her kids and a lot of information was gathered. We do miss her.

Breaking in, stealing medical records, to cut school? Kudos to the girl! -- Riverguy 08/13/2019 7:39PM

No, but that would be epic -- Tafkam Hokie 08/14/2019 11:35AM

Is this a new rule? Why are they discovering it this year? Are you even -- Hoakie82 08/13/2019 7:14PM

When did that become a requirement for students? -- EDGEMAN 08/13/2019 4:52PM

No Hep-C vaccine ** -- `lag 08/13/2019 5:16PM

Thankfully there is a treatment for it...if caught in time. -- EDGEMAN 08/13/2019 5:21PM

We were smarter when we were highly active -- PhotoHokieNC 08/13/2019 5:38PM

Heck, when we were at VT, Hep C was called "non-A non-B". That's what -- 48zip 08/14/2019 09:04AM

That's a very sad tale. There are also far more stringent blood/plasma -- PhotoHokieNC 08/14/2019 09:19AM

Sounds like millennials are getting taken out by needles & the lax morals -- Hoakie82 08/13/2019 7:03PM

Needles? You realize heroin and fentanyl (also opiods) can be ingested -- 48zip 08/14/2019 09:56AM

I’m not an expert on the subject but I believe some people, not all, end up -- Hoakie82 08/14/2019 1:25PM

Just wanted to make sure you knew they're all opioids. -- 48zip 08/14/2019 1:44PM

Doesn't help when there are co-ed floors w/alternating rooms, boy / girl -- Hokie1992 08/14/2019 06:16AM

Would immediately executing all heroin drug dealers have the same effect? -- EDGEMAN 08/13/2019 10:52PM

That only effects the supply. If you still have the demand someone else -- Hoakie82 08/14/2019 1:15PM

Its that way in many foreign countries and it hasn't slowed it down. ** -- UTPr0sim 08/14/2019 08:01AM

Like xxxxxxxxism, it just hasn't been done by the right people yet...lol** -- EDGEMAN 08/14/2019 09:23AM

Check records in the state of birth (link) -- 48zip 08/13/2019 3:41PM

Can you see if Walgreens will do it if the doctors can’t find it? -- Gator Hokie 08/13/2019 3:25PM

Hep B is either a 2 or 3 dose vaccine. That ain't happening by tomorrow. -- Tafkam Hokie 08/13/2019 4:01PM

Sounds like everyone else is vaccinated so she is no risk to others -- HokieAl 08/13/2019 4:08PM

Except people who are immunocompromised or allergic to the vaccine -- VTSnake 08/14/2019 07:21AM

Oh I know. Was just being silly ** -- HokieAl 08/14/2019 08:10AM

Got it. Ya never know these days... ** -- VTSnake 08/14/2019 09:47AM

I'm a bit confused why they have every other vaccination record -- Tafkam Hokie 08/13/2019 4:11PM

That stinks. And unfortunately the burden of proof lies with you ** -- HokieAl 08/13/2019 4:18PM
