Early detection of CKD, preferably in its earlier stages, is paramount for effective management and improved outcomes. Routine screenings for high-risk individuals, including those with diabetes and hypertension, can aid in identifying kidney dysfunction before it progresses to late stages. Education and awareness campaigns about CKD risk factors and symptoms are crucial for encouraging early medical intervention as Per Hiranandani Hospital Kidney.

hello- this is HeavenlyL0rd or Cerealki113rr, whichever you know me as.

I'm coming here as well because I know people have accused me of scamming and stuff, and have been concerned about waiting long periods of time for their commissions. And for that, I want to say im genuinely so, so sorry. I will try not to deliver excuses. Because in the end there is none. I'll try to explain though. I know this has been a few days ago and I just been alerted to it, and I want to make things right. I wrote a reply there but I felt like it was a bit panicked. I've never been well with drama, however I want to own up for things.

I've always struggled with my memory. I always forget or it slips out of my mind, so I was told I should deliver updates via post and stuff to give a general update, so I don't forget. I always try to encourage people to dm me and ask for bumps because of my memory, as well as Amino or Discord spamming down notifications and I try my best to reply in a timely fashion because I hate leaving messages read but not replied to. I've asked people and on amino for advise on how to work on my memory for commissions and how I can work on getting better at them. However that's not an excuse, people shouldn't be waiting that long for commissions and in the end that falls on me for not completing them in timely fashion.

Around the end of December, beginning of January I went to the hospital for kidney failure and disease, stage 4. I received a hospital bill that was extremely high in cost, over 2,000$ with *another* hospital bill coming in, as well as I have to cover for a new kidney transplant due to me only having one kidney and ergo I will be needing a replacement. I acknowledged I had a lot of commissions to tend to, so I tried to solely focus on adoptables instead to try to save up money for my hospital bills, medication, food, etc since that is my only job. That's primarily why I can't do refunds at the moment because im struggling so much with trying to get the money to just pay off the stacking medical bills in general as well as the future kidney transplant I need to save my life.

During this, I was alerted to one of my designs being similar to a character that I made a gift for / a commission. I was horrified. I had based the character off a smug, farm cat that was a flame point. When I was told of this accusation, I reached out to both the current owner of the character design, the other characters owner, and attempted to reach the designer. I showed my references and explained myself, and agreed to change the design for the current owner so the designs wouldn't look similar (as it was primarily the colors of the designs that looked similar as well as a scarf and their tails, i believe.)

I opened commissions, primarily Warm up ones, to try to warm up for older commissions. Which, worked for a bit. I managed to complete a lot of my older commissions, however I'm aware I may be far off on completing all of them. And I tried to organize all my owed commissions both on a wiki as well as my own notes pad to complete them. I have proof that I have completed older commissions and have tried refunding / offering refunds if im unable to complete art at a certain period of times etc.

In the end, it's completely my fault that I overwhelmed myself with commissions. I take full responsibility for my wrongdoings of the long delays to complete art and such. I'm still completing commissions and working on them, I tried to post wips and stuff whenever I can.

The reason I joined art fight was because people asked me to, and I wanted a chance to practice my art. However I had stopped doing art fight to focus on my commissions a few days ago.

To those who are still waiting, I'm genuinely so sorry for it and I completely understand the anger and how upset you are. Please, I ask you to reach out to me at HeavenlyL0rd at discord (which is my primary form of communication as well as my fastest way to reply to people) as well as my amino which should be under the same label. I will be happy to 100% prioritize your commission and get it done, or I can attempt to form a refund if that's what you truly insist on. I want to set things right.

Thank you for those who read, im so sorry again and I will push myself to learn and better myself on the mistakes I did with commissions. And I will always ask for advise on how to get better with time management and commission work in general so I can improve myself.

A growing number of patients who request medical assistance in dying are asking to donate their organs for transplant, says an international review that found that Canada is performing the most organ transplants from MAID patients among the four countries studied that offer this practice.

The report is the first-ever review of the growing use of this new practice around the world. The review was conducted in 2021 and the results were formally published in December 2022.

“We saw everyone is working in different directions. And then we said ‘OK, well, let's start an international (discussion) of all the countries involved,’” said Dr. Johannes Mulder, a physician and MAID provider in Zwolle, Netherlands, in an interview with CTV News.

Data collected for the paper shows that in Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain, combined, 286 assisted-death recipients provide lifesaving organs for transplant to 837 patients in the years up to and including 2021.

The Death Debate: why some welcome Canada's move to assisted dying for mental illness and others fear it

Expert says government decision to delay assisted-dying expansion not necessary

Doctors in Canada, where medical assistance in dying (MAID) was decriminalized in 2016, performed almost half of the world’s organ transplants after MAID for that period (136), according to the publication.

Data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information confirms this new source of transplant organs accounted accounts for six per cent of all transplants from deceased donors in Canada in 2021. Some transplants, like those for kidneys and livers, can be done with patients who are alive.

“I was rather proud that Canada has done so well in terms of organ donation by MAID patients,” said Arthur Schafer, director of the Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics at the University of Manitoba, in an interview with CTV News.

With more than 4,000 Canadians waiting for organ transplants, some of whom are dying, he says Canada’s numbers show a strong move to turn death into a win-win.

“So I say, 'Good on us.' It’s a wonderful opportunity for someone facing death to make something significant out of the end of their life,” said Schafer.

PATIENT-DRIVEN TREND

The international review on this new practice has been overwhelmingly driven by patients who are suffering from irreversible degenerative diseases, like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson’s.

“If this body has deserted me, I could do something good,” is how Mulder says patients frame their decision.

Canadian ALS patient Sharron Demchuk donated her kidneys and lungs after her medically assisted death in September of 2021. Her family says she herself pushed her doctors to consider a way she could help people after she died, becoming the first in New Brunswick to do so.

“She kept doing follow-ups, kept pushing and even though she wasn’t able to speak, she would make notes for my dad. ‘Here’s what I want you to ask them. Here’s what I want you to say,’” her daughter, Darlene Demchuk, told CTV News last year.

One of the goals of the international report, says Mulder, was to share information openly on how countries are managing this controversial and evolving new practice, including the tricky ethical and logistical issues of consent from vulnerable patients.

“What should you do, or what should what shouldn't you do? And how to keep the whole project completely voluntary,” he said of some of the concerns, noting that patients should never be pressured to choose MAID to increase the availability of donor organs.

That is a worry shared by Trudo Lemmens, a professor in health law and policy at the University of Toronto.

He points to statistics showing more than 35 per cent of Canadians who died by MAID in 2021 felt they were "a burden on family, friends or caregivers” according to a Health Canada report.

“I am concerned that people who struggle with a lack of self-esteem and self-worth may be pushed to see this as an opportunity to mean something,” said Lemmens in an email comment to CTV News.

With other countries like Australia eyeing medical assistance in dying along with organ donations, Mulder says public trust in this new medical practice must be developed and maintained.

“That’s why guidelines are necessary and should also be strict,”’ the doctor said.

H.R.H. Prince Daniel's opening speech at the European Renal Association's congress

Ladies and gentlemen,

It is a great honour for me to welcome you to Sweden, to Stockholm, and to the 61st ERA Congress.

From the early days of dialysis to the groundbreaking innovations in transplantation, you have continuously pushed the boundaries of what is possible.

However, as we celebrate your achievements, we must also recognise the ongoing challenges we face. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) continues to rise globally, affecting millions of people and adding to the enormous burden on healthcare systems.

In developing countries, the situation is particularly critical, with many patients lacking access to life-saving treatments. This inequity underscores the urgent need for continued efforts in research, education, and policy advocacy.

The theme of this year's congress, "Innovate, Collaborate, Transform", reflects a collective mission to not only advance scientific knowledge, but also to implement practical solutions that improve patient outcomes.

Over the next few days, we will hear from leading experts who will share the latest research findings, clinical practices, and technological innovations.

A key focus area this year is the role of personalised medicine in kidney care. By tailoring treatments to the individual needs of patients, we can increase the efficacy and reduce side effects, ultimately leading to better outcomes.

This approach, combined with progress in AI and data analytics, holds the promise of revolutionising how we diagnose, treat, and manage kidney diseases.

We must also address the environmental factors impacting kidney health.

Climate change, pollution, and water scarcity are emerging as significant contributors to the global burden of kidney disease. And of course, a healthy lifestyle is crucial!

Ladies and gentlemen,

This year marks 60 years since the first kidney transplantation took place in Sweden, at a hospital called Serafimerlasarettet here in Stockholm. The surgery was performed by Professor Curt Franksson, who grew up in a small municipality two hours north of Stockholm, Ockelbo.

And so did I, but 50 years later.

Our shared history, Professor Franksson’s and mine, does not end there.

Forty-five years after Franksson's first transplantation at Serafimerlasarettet, I found myself at the same hospital, on dialysis, waiting for a kidney transplant.

Today, 15 years later, I am standing here, healthy, and happy with my father's kidney.

The gratitude I feel towards those of you who dedicate your lives to improving opportunities for us patients is indescribable.

Thank you.

Summary: When you suddenly become ill, Natasha is ready to do anything to save you.

—

You have always been a healthy person. You would rarely get sick and besides the common cold, you never had any other type of health issues.

So when you started to suddenly feel sick, you didn't question it too much and you also didn't tell your mom because you didn't wanted to worry her.

It started with fatigue and shortness of breath, but with each day that passed it started to get worse.

You started to feel confused, and wouldn't pay much attention to what happens around you because the chest pain and the nausea were killing you.

Natasha had tried a few times to ask you what was wrong but you always waved her off, saying you were okay.

But today you woke up and felt like a train hit you. You hardly made your way toward the common room where Nat, Steve, Clint, Tony, Sam, Bucky, and Wanda were talking.

You barely took two steps inside the room when your mom turned her attention to you.

"Hey, baby! What are you doing here?" Natasha asked softly

You didn't manage to give her an answer.

"Kid?" Tony asked "What's up?"

"Y/N?" Wanda also called you

You felt the world spinning around you and in a blink of an eye, you collapsed to the ground.

Your mom jumped from her seat and in a second was by your side.

"Y/N? Baby?" She worriedly asked, as she lightly shook you "Wake up! Please, wake up..."

"We need to get her to Bruce." Steve said, lifting you and sprinting to the lab

—

When they got there, Bruce asked Steve to lay you down on a table and Natasha took her place by your side, stroking your hair.

"Nat, I need you to step aside, please. I have to check her." Bruce softly spoke to her

"I'm not going to leave her." The woman said without taking her eyes off of you "Don't worry, baby. Mama is not going anywhere." Tears started streaming down her face.

"Nat, please." Bruce asked again

When he saw that Natasha paid no attention to him, the doctor signaled to Steve and Clint to take her out of the room.

Steve quickly lifted Natasha and took her out, with a fight from the redhead that screamed and kicked Steve, refusing to leave your side.

At this point, everyone was gathered and spread all across the waiting room, trying to be patient.

Natasha was on the floor, her back supported by a wall, crying. With Clint to her right and Wanda to her left doing their best to be strong for your mom and you.

Thor, Tony, and Steve were sitting in the chairs that were placed in the waiting room.

Bucky and Sam were leaning against the wall.

Pepper, Peter, Fury, and Maria were also there.

—

After the longest hour in everyone's life, Bruce came out from his lab with an unreadable face.

Natasha bolted up to her feet and everyone circled Bruce, asking a hundred questions per second.

"Calm down!" Bruce shouted, waiting for the room to fall silent "I ran some tests on her, and turns out she suffered a kidney failure."

"She was okay a few days ago." Bucky commented

"The illness progressed very quickly." Bruce explained

"But she's okay now? Isn't she? She's okay?" Natasha tried to keep her tears at bay, failing miserably

"I'm sorry, Nat. But she's in a coma now. She needs a kidney transplant and at this rate, if we don't find a donor in the next 24 hours, she might never wake up."

"Take mine!" Your mother said without a second thought

"I need to see if you are compatible first. There is a huge chance for her body to reject the new kidney." Bruce put his hand on the handle of the door "If anyone else wants to help her, I can run the tests."

"I want!" Everyone present in the room said at the same time

"Okay then. I'm going to prepare what I need. Until then you can go and see her." He opened the door

Natasha was the first one to pass by Bruce and enter inside, followed by the rest.

She saw you lying on a bed with different machines all over you and countless wires connected to your body.

The woman let out a cry of pain and quickly reached you, taking your hand in hers.

"You're going to be alright, my love. I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I can't lose you, baby girl. I can't..." Natasha sobbed kissing your hand

Time seemed to pass in slow-motion as they waited for the results, to see if any of them were a match to you.

"I need to save her. I need her. She saved me so many times before. I have to save her now. I can't live without my baby." Natasha whispered from beside you

"What do you mean she saved you, Miss Romanoff?" Peter asked confused

"Oh, my boy..." Tony sighed putting his hand on Peter's back "You are too young."

~~~~~

It's been some time since Natasha was an Avenger and started to save the world and save people instead of complaying orders and kill them.

And for a while everything was good. She was happy. Or at least she tried to be.

She knows that she never can have the thing she wants the most, so she tries to be happy with all she has now.

She has the chance to save the world, to be a part of a team, and to wipe her ledger clean.

But that's not what she wished for the most.

The only thing she wanted, she couldn't have.

A baby.

Her own baby. Her own little family.

Natasha tried to not think about it. She really tried but was hard.

One morning she woke up feeling sick.

At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, but when she felt sick for 8 days in a row, she decided to go and ask Bruce to check her up.

After he took some blood samples from her, Natasha came back to her room and sat on the floor.

Her past started to come back to her. Her painful memories made their way to the front of her mind, making her relive all that pain.

Reaching into her back pocket, Nat took out a knife and held it to her wrist.

"I'm of no use." She cried out "No one needs me. And now I'm sick. I'll be a burden."

She thought that it was time to finally end her suffering and cut open her wrists.

As she was about to do it when Clint came in the room with a big smile on his face, that quickly faded when he saw her.

Clint gently approached her, with his hands up, in order to show her that he was no threat.

"Hey Nat. Why don't you calm down a little? Huh?" He gently spoke to her "Put that knife aside and we could talk a little because Bruce just found out what is happening to you."

"No, Clint!" She sobbed "I want to end everything. I can't do this anymore..."

"Look, Nat. I don't know what happened or how it happened, but Bruce just told me that all his tests came back with the same result." Clint smiled a little

"What?" She sniffled

"You're pregnant."

The knife from Natasha's hand fell to the ground with a loud bang and she stared mouth open at her best friend, not believing what she just heard.

"Impossible." That was all she said

"No, Natasha. I don't know how, but it's not impossible. You're going to be a mom. Think about it."

Natasha brought the same shakey hand, that held the knife a few moments ago, to her stomach and rubbed it with her thumb.

"A baby? My baby?" She said in disbelief

"Yeah, Nat. A baby. A baby is growing inside you right now. They depend on you. You're their only source of life. Do you really want to end their life before it even began?" Clint reasoned

"No..." Natasha shook her head, starting to cry again "I promise you, my baby, that I'll always take care of you. I'll do anything for you."

~~~~~

The silence grew as Clint finished his story, making Peter regret that he asked about it. The only thing that could be heard, were Natasha's sobs.

"Remember when she made Natasha come back from her mission?" Maria broke the silence

~~~~~

"Your kid is going to have a heart attack from so much screaming and crying for you, Romanoff." Fury said throwing the phone annoyed "Just come back. I give you the permission to leave everything and come back to your child."

It wasn't that Natasha didn't want to come back to her 5-year-old daughter, who suddenly started crying for her mama, but she was so close to finishing the mission and she wasn't sure how Fury would react to her failing her mission because her daughter is more important to her than any mission.

"But sir-" She was interrupted by a loud cry

"MAMA!" You yelled

"C'mon kid, breathe." Was the next thing she heard

"Nat, she can't breathe, come home. NOW!" Maria yelled through the speaker

That was it.

Natasha dropped everything she was doing at that moment and ran as fast as she could out of the building she was in and to the car.

But as soon as she was out, the building exploded behind her, leaving no survivors.

~~~~~

"I don't know how she knew it, but I remember that Y/N calmed down before Natasha called us back and told us what happened." Fury honestly confessed

"She felt it, Nick." Maria softly looked at you "She felt that her mama was in danger and wanted to protect her in the best way a 5-year-old could."

Natasha was silently staring at your pale face, tracing your features with her fingers, listening to every word the others were saying.

"I do remember that time when Y/N saved Miss Romanoff on a mission." Peter spoke again

~~~~~

"Mama, watch out!" You shouted, seeing an agent pointing a gun at her

You ran as fast as you could and jumped in front of your mother just in time.

A loud bang was heard, followed by another one.

The first one, hit you in your stomach. The second one, hit the other agent in the head.

He shot you and Natasha shot him.

You dropped to your knees and your mom was by your side, taking you in her arms, in no time.

"Y/N, hey, stay awake. Can you do this for me, baby? Can you do it for Mama?" She asked, supporting all of your weight

You weakly nodded, but your eyes were dropping.

"No! Y/N Romanoff! Look at me! Just don't close your eyes, angel. C'mon, you can do it. Stay with me, my love." Natasha shook you

"I-I love y-y-you, M-Mama." You said before going limp in her arms

"NO!" Natasha screamed in pain

That was one of the worst days in her life for Natasha.

She had to wait 3 hours for news about you when they took you into surgery in order to remove the bullet.

It's safe to say that Natasha was a mess, from the moment you went unconscious until the moment you opened your eyes in the medbay, two days after the surgery.

You had never seen your mom like this.

Crying like a baby, holding you in her arms, whispering things like: 'I thought I lost you' or ' Never scare me like that again'.

Then she took care of you really intently, she didn't even let you eat by yourself as if you were a baby once again.

~~~~~

"That was, what? Two years ago? How fast the time flies. She'll be 18 next week. Isn't she?" Tony laughed trying to lift everyone's spirits, but he was the only one laughing

You were running out of time.

Just then Bruce burst through the door, holding a bunch of papers in his hands.

All the heads turned to him.

"I found a match." He breathed out

"Who?" Natasha asked

"You." Bruce breathed out

Natasha turned her head towards you and kissed your forehead "I told you, my little angel. I told you that I'll do anything for you. I'm going to save you as you saved me. You are going to be okay."

From that moment on, everything went smoothly. Natasha gave you one of her kidneys. Your body accepted it and you woke up a few days after the surgery.

Your mom was already beside you because she refused to spend more time in bed.

—

You slowly opened your eyes, being hit by a bright light.

"Hey, angel." Natasha kissed your head "How are you feeling?"

"I've been better." You answered, making her smile "What happened?"

And she told you everything that happened in the past 3 days.

Maybe you are not as safe as Natasha would like you to be, but you know that she is going to save you every time you need her.

And she knew that you were her little guardian angel, that saved her life even before you were born.

Iydiydyidy TOH sick fic where Gus needs a kidney transplant and (after explaining the concept) Hunter is already taking off his shirt and pulling out his pocket knife like "HERE TAKE MINE" and everyone tries to stop him kdkydkydktz

Luz meanwhile just whispers to him "do you HAVE kidneys??" And hunter is like "Shit i dont know"

Okay that's funny as hell I'm sorry just. Imagining Zeno saying "shit I don't know" in hunters voice while everyone is all sad in the background because Gus is seriously ill. He's holding a knife and he managed to get one stab in. He's bleeding and he's just like shit I don't know. Im wheezing.

"after explaining the concept" they'd get as far as "his kidney is not working and he needs a new one one or he might die" and he's already got the knife out like oh I know where a kidney is hang on

Here's something that I doubt everyone knows about the disability crisis in the United States. For a civilian to get disability payments, they have to be "totally" disabled; in other words, you have to prove you cannot get any job in any industry based on Department of Labor statistics in your state, not *just* that you have a debilitating condition. For a veteran to get disability payments, they have to prove a percentage of how disabled they are, and getting 100% disability as a veteran is no easy task wording is critical in the documentation if anyone at any point in your medical history intentionally or not downplays your disability you will get percentage points taken off how much pay you get as a disabled veteran. This is particularly difficult for people with any pride or dignity left because, in both civilian and veteran cases, you must explain just how awful it is in explicit terms and quantifiable, dehumanized ways to sate the court's interest, or you will not get "total" disability. Furthermore, until you are considered "permanently" disabled, you must repeat this process every 3-5 years. Yet, again no one anywhere can talk about you improving or you're out (for civilians), or your disability percentage amount is reduced (for veterans.) Also, if you manage to prove a "permanent" disability, you still get checked every seven years to make sure it's still "permanent." Finally, to get your student loans discharged as a civilian, you must prove your disabled status is both "total and permanent," guess what if one of those changes? Those loans come right back. Also, your loans go into forbearance if you're" totally disabled" and not considered "permanent" or "short-term" (more than 2 weeks, up to a year). Yes, that is the one that accrues interest. Not deferment. For short-term disability, you can defer, but if you're long-term, non-permanent, you forbear. Most people on long-term disability are medically permanently disabled but not in the eyes of the law because of their age, even if it is a chronic or progressive disease. This is why people die waiting for total disability, let alone permanent. My disability attorney said straight to my face 10 years ago, "You should get disability because you have a chronic disabling condition in two systems, but it's going to be a fight because you are so young." I was 28, by the way. She said if I had "just Lupus" or "just medication-resistant dysthymia and generalized anxiety," I wouldn't have stood a chance. My cousin "just" had Lupus and was in end-stage renal failure, it took her 3 years to get disability, and by then, she had a kidney transplant. She was in her 20s and on her parents' insurance. I have a friend whose veteran husband couldn't get 100% VA disability because some doctor at some VA clinic years ago had written down "mild back pain" when describing the pain he felt from degenerative disc disease and 2 herniated discs. It took years to get that one note out of his file. No matter what any other doctor said. So when I say you can't comprehend the disability crisis in the United States, I'm talking about this. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

8 years ago, i was rejected from the university of my choosing. i had worked hard for it, really hard. everyone was so sure that i'd be accepted, but all i got was a blinking red page.

i went to my room and cried. i let myself cry. i let out a wail. i was so sure there was no going back from this pain. all my hard work, all of other people's expectations. i felt the weight of my body sinking into the bed.

..but this is not a story about how i managed to get up and try again.

this is the story of how my mom then knocked on my door. she was sick. it was months after her kidney transplantation. she wasn't in her best health, and i knew she wasn't happy either.

but then she knocked on my door. it is so painful hearing you cry she said. i don't remember exactly what she said after that. It wasn't something motivational. it was, let me be with you while we are grieving. i'll be here to stupidly love you through all your failures.

and all that stupid, unconditional love made my crying stop. not even a bit of sadness remained after knowing that i wouldn't be alone. all the sadness washed away, and i was ready to try again.

years later, my mom is gone. there is no reassurance of someone who will love and sit through all my misfortunes. i am totally alone, deserted, and i feel like all my love for myself is buried with her.

and now, there is surely no going back from this kind of pain....

It's very cute that Mr. Mega thinks his refusal to read our leaks means anything. We'll continue sharing them, and people will continue reading them. But here, for you, Mr. Curt Mega, we have provided the medical report from John's time in the hospital after the ten days of sleeplessness he spoke of. Thank us later!

Mount Sinai Hospital Treatment Report: Johnathan S. MacNamara

Date of Admission: September 9, 2012

Date of Discharge: November 17, 2012

The patient was admitted to the Emergency Room at 6:24 AM, 09/05/12 and evaluated to be in critical condition almost immediately. He exhibited signs of septic shock, including: lung failure, kidney failure, liver failure, a blood pressure of 68/43 mm Hg, and a heart rate of 134 BPM. In addition, he showed signs of infection stemming from an abdominal laceration approximately 30 inches in length and on average approximately 2 inches deep. The exhibited signs included: seizures, a consistent 105° F fever, swelling around the wound, pus in and around the wound, and human fecal matter smeared across the abdominal region. The lattermost sign was not so much a symptom as an obvious cause.

The patient's wounds were immediately cleaned with heavy disinfectants and a tracheostomy was preformed. He was attached to a mechanical ventilator and the blood-oxygen levels slowly stabilized. Patient was admitted to the ICU for further treatment at 7:36 PM, 09/05/12. Injuries upon admission were mapped as follows:

1. Bullet entry and exit through right deltoid. 2. Large laceration across midsection. Shows signs of heavy bacterial and viral infection. 3. Second-degree burn in the shape of greek letter omega. 4. Electric burns on lower right back. Presumably from high-voltage taser or cattle prod. 5. Intense electric burns in genital and inner-thigh areas. 6. Hamstrings lacerated. Presumably to constrict movement of legs.

Upon admission to the ICU, the patient was administered a standard dose of penicillin. There had been no signs of consciousness since arrival to the hospital, however the patient did appear to be in a survivable state. Within the unit, he was attached to a dialysis machine and given a steady IV of saline solution and another one that contained water-soluble vitamins and nutrients. Once the infection showed no further sign of spreading, the patient was given an emergency liver transplant. This occurred on 09/06/12.

The transplant succeeded, and the liver immediately began to filter blood and further cleared the infection. The decision was made to keep the patient on the dialysis machine until the infection and subsequent sepsis was cleared, and after a partial recovery from the first transplant occurred.

After 57 hours of total unconsciousness and unresponsiveness, the patient was declared to be in a coma caused by toxic-metabolic encephalopathy. He was assumed to wake up within the month.

The tracheostomy ventilator was removed on 09/23/12 and replaced with a laryngoscopic ventilator. This was changed once more on 10/03/12 when it was replaced with a mask ventilator.

The genital burns required a skin graft, but otherwise healed normally without infection or complications.

At 1:58 PM on 10/09/12, the patient began to react to outside stimuli. He moved when touched and made audible responses to pain. Over the next few days, he began to react to auditory and olfactory stimuli in addition to touch-based reactions increasing in consistency. By 10/12/12, the patient could follow simple commands and had managed to open his eyes a few times.

On 10/15/12 at approximately 12:30 AM, the patient awoke in a frenzied state. He attempted to rip out IVs and pulled off the ventilation mask and appeared to be unaware of where he was. It took excessive physical force, but he was eventually restrained and slowly calmed. He fell back asleep soon after, but showed greater signs of healing by that point. The next afternoon, he gave an official record of what happened to him, which provided a more accurate method of how to treat him. He consented to a kidney transplant and went into surgery on 10/18/12.

There were no complications during the surgery, and the donor was the wife of the patient, Rosalind M. Schaffer. She didn't suffer any complications from the donation either.

After the surgery, he was moved from the ICU and into the recovery wing with a private room.

The patient was dosed on standard pain medication over recovery, and showed no infectious flare-ups over recovery. He was monitored for lasting impacts of his wounds or disease, and had gained a noticeable tremor in both his hands. He underwent physical therapy while in the hospital's care, allowing him to regain full motion in his legs and to lessen his hand tremors.

The patient was discharged at 8:14 PM on 11/17/12 with a clean bill of health and prescribed a pain medication for as long as needed. It was also recommended that the patient stop smoking, as his lungs had previously failed once and it could be a major risk factor. The patient obviously did not follow the advice, as he was seen smoking a cigarette the second he left hospital grounds.

Second Season When?

A random post about the second seasons I want.

I hate second seasons, yet I still find myself praying for them and even plotting them out with my ideal scenarios:

 *spoilers ahead*

Manner of Death – This was already supposed to happen (Transplant)! When we left off, not all the bad guys were caught and Bun and Tan showed up on Triage where there was an entire missing kidneys plot! Sorn should be in medical school now while That should have more control in the family business. This is coming but the actors are busy (and blessed!), so it is just a matter of rearranging their schedules to give me my murder mystery husbands back! Likelihood – 9/10

Not Me – When we left off, Black hit Todd with a reverse Uno. The second season should focus on the aftermath. We get to learn more about Black since season one was White focused. What happened between Todd and Black while White was away? What happens when Todd wakes up? Will Todd and Black finally realize they are enemies AND lovers? We can also see how Akk Yok is doing with making Dan grovel. Likelihood – 2/10

History 3: Trapped – When we left off, Tang Yi was headed “upstate” but we weren’t told for how long. HE SHOULD BE FREE NOW! The sequel needs to focus on his pseudo-sister getting married, him coming back as the boss and all the discrimination he gets, and him making things work with his no-longer-on-the-force boyfriend. Likelihood – 4/10

KinnPorsche – When we left off, everyone was happy EXCEPT KimChay! People complained that KimChay felt like a different story compared to the others, so lean into it for the second season. Give me a university drama where we see the rich idol chase the once-poor university student. Mix in a bit of danger like Love in the Air is doing (according to the tags since I’m not watching it), and voila! Kinnporsche: KimChay writes itself! Likelihood – 5/10 (for an actual second season, but not THIS second season)

Vice Versa – When we left off, everyone was back in their original universe, but we knew NOTHING about the relationship between Tun and Tess. The second season has to focus on this! I don’t care if it backtracks and shows us how they were doing while in the alternate universe or simply picks up with them back in their universe. I’m not picky! I need to know about them and Fuse/Aou in any way, shape, or form. Likelihood – I’ll tell you next month after the GMMTV event

Love Mechanics – When we left off, the show hinted at all of the upcoming spinoffs in the final episode. We will get Call My Name and Future that focus on Vee’s brother and Mark’s friends, but we don’t know when we will actually get them. I trust Rookie Thailand after it gave me the excellent 21 Days Theory, so I’m keeping the faith that these spinoffs are coming. Likelihood – 8/10

Light on Me – When we left off, the boys were on a beach and happy. It felt complete. It was a solid ending. THEN TaeKyung and ShinWoo made a cameo in Best Mistake 3 looking even more adorable than they did in their series, and we still need to find out who that mystery guest was that visited the teacher. There is a story there, and we deserve it! Likelihood – 5/10 (Maybe To My Star 2 will help Korea see the potential of a sequel)

To My Star – It doesn’t matter where we left off because the third season should focus on Ho Min and his journey becoming an idol. What, you say. Ho Min, Seo Joon’s manager, quit because he wants to become an idol and the best CEO, Pil Hyun, gave him money to train remember? Plus, we had that other kind actor who was working with Seo Joon. He was a rising star. Let’s focus on them! – Likelihood – 0/10

We Best Love – This was supposed to happened! When we left off, Zhe Yu and Bing Wei were engaged, Zhou Shu Yo and Gao Shi De were back together, and the doctor/bar owner was figuring out his relationship with that guy who has been in love with him for forever and day. There was some type of announcement about this, and then it was gone. Maybe I dreamed it. Was it never real? I don’t know. Likelihood – I am crazy?! 0/10

Cutie Pie - When we left off, they were officially engaged...again. An announcement was made about three special episodes. If it's not the wedding, I don't want it. Likelihood - 10/10, but it better be the wedding or nothing at all.
