Comments by "Deborah Freedman" (@deborahfreedman333) on "Man misses heart transplant over massive winter storm" video.
When I was going through chemo, I talked to the other people, in the transfusion room, and asked those who lived in rural areas how they managed. Some drove in two, to five hours, each way, every other week. Many others took advantage of the RVs the hospital owned, and kept in their parking lot. Others rented a room, at a nearby extended-stay motel. Those just lived near the hospital for four months. Of course, that doesn't help when the hospital has turned its transfusion room into an auxiliary ICU.

So which is worse, the seasonal snow in Chicago, or the constant traffic jam on the 405 and 101?

Remaining unvaccinated, and giving a preventable disease to others, is a crime against humanity. Only giving organ transplants, to those who will actually take care of themselves, is just intelligent. Why waste a healthy organ on someone with an unhealthy lifestyle? It's the same reason that drug addicts and alcoholics aren't allowed on the transplant list.
