A Moment of Quiet - Redux
Hey peeps!
I’m trying to breathe some new life into my old stories and OCs, and I really wanted to draw my sweet baby girl Meela!
I figured I’d redraw this old piece of her, since I botched the lighting when I made it originally, and it’s bothered me ever since lmao

US: New lung transplant algorithm error harmed critically ill patients
- By InnoNurse Staff -
A new algorithm intended to fairly distribute lungs for transplants failed to properly account for blood type O patients, who can only receive lungs from type O donors.
This flaw led to significantly fewer transplants for type O patients in 2023. The Organ Procurement and Transplant Network (OPTN) implemented the algorithm in March 2023, touting it as a fairer system, but an error allowed the simulation to inaccurately predict that type O patients could receive lungs from any blood type, disadvantaging them.
The issue was identified in July 2023, and a correction was made in September. Initial reports indicated 35 fewer transplants for type O patients, but further analysis suggested the number could be as high as 138.
This discrepancy has raised concerns about the transparency and effectiveness of OPTN's handling of the situation.
Criticism has come from transplant surgeons and patients alike, urging OPTN to fully disclose the impact and prevent future errors. Despite the fix, there are ongoing concerns about potential disparities in transplant rates by blood type.

Sometimes he likes to listen to Meela's quiet rambles (it distracts him from the daily chaos at HQ.💖)
Also it's my first time actually drawing Miguel!! I like how he turned out.

Closed starter for @overnightheartbeats based on this
"I think we should go out." The bluntness of the statement wasn't exactly out of character for the brunette, but it was definitely crossing a line she wouldn't usually consider crossing. If only that bitch hadn't broken the cardinal rule, Meela would probably never have considered acting on the ever present attraction between herself and her former friend's older brother. But now that she had? All bets were off.
