Damn it...

Suite307 · 05-21-2008, 03:06 AM

One of my girlfriend's boyfriend ( Which happens to be a good friend of mine also. ) is dying. Is heart is aging super fast. Unless he gets an heart transplant in the next 3 days , he's going to die...

Damn... i've been getting a lot of shit lately...

Scuzzy · 05-21-2008, 03:10 AM

Sorry about your friend's situation. We'll be praying for him.

SizeableSSonic · 05-21-2008, 03:33 AM

Wow. Is there any chance he could somehow get a transplant? What about an artificial heart?

Dr.Satan · 05-21-2008, 03:35 AM

Sorry to hear that man. I will pray for him.

Does it look like he has a chance to get a transplant at all?

Suite307 · 05-21-2008, 03:58 AM

I'm not sure. Canada's system has crazy wait lines for transplants.

Backstaber · 05-21-2008, 04:02 AM

That's a shame for this to happen to him so early in his life. It really is. I will pray for him and hope that he makes it. I'm also sorry that this is happening to you and the rest of his friends as well.

zSilver_Fox · 05-21-2008, 04:06 AM

That really sucks

. Try throwing a giant dildo in a freeway. People will be so shocked by it that it'll cause a massive pileup, and you'll get your heart.*

*Cue ethics discussion.

Sadly, probably not. The worse part is that's about the same for any organ. He's probably at the top of the list though, and if someone dies then he'll probably get the heart. Now as for an artifical heart, it's possible with the money, but they're damn expensive. However, he might be able to get a Heart Assist Device. If you don't mind me asking, Suite307, how old is he and what's wrong with him exactly? I hope they find a heart for him.

Suite307 · 05-22-2008, 12:52 AM

He's 23. His Heart is aging real freakin fast. I don't remember the name of the disease.

That's weird, and really sucks. All the best wishes for you and your friend.

fireb0rn · 05-22-2008, 05:13 AM

Really sorry to hear it man. Hope it turns out well for you guys.

BinaryLife · 05-22-2008, 02:30 PM

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope he can find a heart and doesn't go through too much pain. Be safe man.

Suite307 · 05-22-2008, 05:18 PM

There's no hope, he's going to go write his testament (EDIT: His Will. >.> ) as we speak.

Innoc · 05-22-2008, 05:30 PM

Wow...just wow. I am so sorry to hear that Suite. I don't think anything gives you a check in your own life quite like experiencing something like this. I hope that your friend can find some measure of peace in this....I'm at a loss as to how but I hope he can find it.

Circuitous · 05-22-2008, 06:44 PM

That's pretty bullshit, I hope he gives God a piece of his mind assuming you're even allowed to have enraged thoughts in Heaven.

Demasu · 05-26-2008, 04:56 AM

Any news?

Suite307 · 05-26-2008, 01:14 PM

None. Still waiting..

TurboWolf · 05-26-2008, 01:25 PM

If there's no exit, maybe you can get a pig's heart. I've heard it's extremely simmilar to a human one and there are lots of those kinds of xenotransplants.

Best of luck!

I don't think we can do that with a whole heart yet, I know we can do valves though, but I think a full heart is too different. Not sure though because I'm no expert.

Ihmhi · 05-27-2008, 01:37 PM

If whole pig hearts could be used, there would not be as many problems for heart transplants. Only the valves are usable.
