The estimated length of time a patient must wait on the transplant list is 5 years.
When you arrive at the hospital several tests will be conducted including but not limited to; physical exam, blood work, chest x-ray, and an EKG. Once everything has the green light to proceed the patient will be prepped for surgery. John’s chest and abdomen hair will be shaved, and he will be given something to clean out his intestines. An IV will be inserted to supply medicine and prevent dehydration and a sedative will be given Immunosuppressive drugs such as Cyclosporine, Azathioprine and glucocorticoids (used to prevent organ rejection and graft failure). The whole procedure only takes 2 to 3 hours to complete if there are no complications.

    Persuasive Speech Brave New World

    Good morning/good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Aldous Huxley, the author of the futuristic dystopian novel “Brave New World” is innocent in rightfully challenging the idea of a modern utopia. He invites the reader to challenge the ideal society as his writing is a cautionary tale and a warning to people that humanity may transform from being free independent people to slaves to our own greediness and society. “Brave New World” is a disturbing, loveless world and Huxley shows this through his writing, tapping into themes such as eugenics, behavioral conditioning, the use of advanced technology to control an entire society and showing an extreme but honest version of today’s economic standards. Huxley doesn’t mean to say that people would be happier if they were all genetically modified, nor…

    TBI Persuasive Speech

    Dodie, Amazing post, and might I add this post was very well-written. You made several great points, and I agree with you on all of them. You choose five really good causes and symptoms of students with TBIs. It’s scary to think that all you wanted to do was watch your child play a sport, and not get hurt, especially with a TBI. Parents have to constantly worry about their child all the time because one little slip or fall, and the child could have serious injuries.…

    Strait Persuasive Speech

    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13,14 Every day God's salvation draws nearer, which means we must be more diligent and persevering in our walk with the Him. We do not have the "luxury of time" to be consumed, preoccupied, or even fatigued in our day-to-day responsibilities that we become distracted to what God wants to accomplish in each of our lives and in His church! We are nearing the day of the "coming of our Lord and Savior," which signifies the need to pick-up our pace so that we will finish our earthly race and hear our Lord proclaim, "Well done thou good and faithful servant..."…

    Organ Surgical Procedure

    Problem: Because a prerecorded transplant was viewed, detailed background information about the patient was not thoroughly divulged. Nonetheless, like any surgical procedure, a common reason for surgery is that function of the organ is completely lost and detrimental to the patient’s health. Surgeons and other physicians must determine whether the benefit of performing the procedure outweighs the risk of surgery. In this case, the patient must have lost function is both kidneys (as people can survive with one functional kidney) due to an end-stage renal disease, thus necessitating the need for a kidney transplant.…

    Persuasive Speech

    After reviewing my persuasive speech over why the University of Oklahoma is the best university in the nation, I would sum up my speech as a little bit of train wreck. Although I made good claims with factual evidence, the amount of stuttering I did, and all the times I was choked up throughout the speech drew my audience’s attention away. From this, I lost my audience’s belief that I was competent of the information I was reiterating to them. At the introduction of my speech I believe I started out fairly strong and gave a good run down of the coming speech.…
