About 18 months ago we did an interview where Jamie was trying to set up an Organ Donor "Thank-you" program at comedy clubs. The "Comedy & Magic Club" in Hermosa Beach was the first supporter. BUT now the "Levity Live" company and all the "Improvisation" comedy clubs around the country are offering Free Admittance to shows each month to peopl who signed up as Organ Donors....an amazing program!Jamie Alcroft, a comedian known for his work as part of the comedy duo Mac and Jamie, and for hosting the TV show "Comedy Break", is on a mission to promote organ donation through his Laughs for Life program. Inspired by his own heart transplant experience, Alcroft launched this initiative to offer free comedy shows to organ donors, thereby raising awareness and encouraging more individuals to register as donors.

VR filmmakers Joe Hunting and Max Willson are premiering their short documentary film The Reality of Hope at the Sundance film festival this week (online tickets are still available here from Jan 30 to Feb 2 and it'll also be available later this year on Documentary+). Hunting's previous film We Met in Virtual Reality also premiered at Sundance in 2022 and got picked up by HBO, and he's continuing to document very human stories that are rooted within the context of virtual culture. The Reality of Hope is shot both in VRChat and physical reality as it tells the beautiful and inspiring story of Photographotter traveling across the world to donate a kidney to his friend Hiyu, who he met within the furry community in VR. Hiyu is a world builder and avatar creator who has been a part of the team that has created some truly spectacular worlds as a part of the Furality conference (See the full list of worlds listed down below). Facing kidney failure, Hiyu turned to social media asking for help seeking a donor, which caught Photographotter's attention who then privately reached out. Photographotter documented the ups and downs of his inner journey in a VTuber video blog series, and The Reality of Hope fills in a lot of the gaps for the broader Furality community, the worlds that Hiyu has built, and the nuances of their friendship in hospitals of Stockholm, Sweden as the organ donor process requires a three-month commitment. The Reality of Hope is a beautifully-told story that shows the power of VR to forge deep and meaningful connections that proved to be literally life-saving.

We've all had thoughts of what would happen if we wake up during a procedure. But what would you do if a patient you were caring for woke up… during an organ donation procedure? In this Devonism, we discuss the case of Anthony Thomas “TJ” Hoover, a Kentucky man who experienced just that, and lived to tell the tale.  ……… Intro/outro: New Media, Olive Musique Cover art: Blossom Creative Studio, Jenny Hamilton Instagram: @medcrimespodcast Follow, like, share, subscribe!  Visit us at: Www.medcrimespodcast.com Medcrimes is a medical true crime podcast.

Walter and Edith Aguilar's paths first crossed in the most unlikely place: her mom's dialysis clinic.  What was supposed to be a brief trip to donate her kidney turned into a lifetime of love.

As an organ donor, I wanted to talk directly to the medical students who will work on me as a cadaver.

This bonus conversation with Beth started as a deep dive into some well known, ongoing crime cases. It quickly escalated into a series of stories, mostly "redneck" related, that trend toward the more entertaining side of life. Beth Braden is an award-winning journalist whose mastery of the deep dive is evident in her work.In addition to Braden's experience writing about local government, crime and courts, and engaging features from her home state of Tennessee, her byline appears on several internationally-known websites. She is passionate about communicating complex information in an easy-to-understand manner and loves to pore over public records.

In this episode, we explore disparities in kidney transplant access, focusing on the underserved and minority communities. With over 90,000 people waiting for a kidney transplant in the U.S., and a significant portion coming from marginalized backgrounds, the barriers to equitable access are both complex and urgent.Join us as Dr. Keith Melancon, a distinguished general surgeon and former Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation Director at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, discusses the social determinants of health that influence diagnosis and treatment, the impact of socioeconomic status on healthcare access, and the political and cultural factors affecting organ donation and transplantation.Learn about the importance of early diagnosis, the consequences of limited access to care, and the need for increased awareness and advocacy in minority communities, plus what steps can be taken to address these disparities and ensure a fairer healthcare system where everyone has an equal opportunity for life-saving treatments.Guest: Dr. Keith Melancon, Professor of Surgery and Director of George Washington University Transplant Institute

A disturbing incident at Baptist Health Richmond in Kentucky is drawing national attention and sparking government investigations into organ donation practices after an organ donor, presumed dead, began moving during the organ retrieval process. The patient, identified as Anthony Thomas "TJ" Hoover II, was believed to be brain dead before the scheduled transplant. However, Hoover reportedly “reanimated” and visibly moved on the operating table, according to medical preservationist Natasha Miller. “He was moving around,” Miller told NPR, recalling the shocking moment when Hoover began thrashing and crying on the table. This unexpected movement led the two surgeons in charge of the organ retrieval to refuse to continue the procedure. Despite the clear signs of life, Miller said her colleague contacted Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates (KODA), the organization responsible for coordinating the organ donation. However, she claimed that the KODA supervisor instructed them to proceed with the case, even suggesting they “find another doctor” to perform the surgery if the original surgeons wouldn't. In response to these allegations, KODA's spokesperson stated, “No one at KODA has ever been pressured to collect organs from any living patient,” and further assured that “KODA does not recover organs from living patients.” Nyckoletta Martin, a former KODA employee, shared a similar experience involving Hoover, claiming that he had also thrashed around during a procedure intended to assess his heart health prior to the donation. Martin told NPR that doctors sedated Hoover after he showed signs of life, further raising concerns about the protocol followed in such situations. Martin ultimately became a whistle-blower, bringing attention to the incident by submitting a letter to Congress. Her actions have since contributed to a heated debate surrounding the safety and ethics of organ donation procedures. She described the terrifying experience: “Being alive during surgery and knowing that someone is going to cut you open and take your body parts out? That's horrifying.” The case has prompted investigations by multiple agencies, including the Kentucky attorney general and the U.S. Health Services and Resources Administration, to determine if any laws or medical guidelines were violated. A spokesperson for Baptist Health Richmond issued a statement affirming that the safety of their patients is a top priority: “We work closely with our patients and their families to ensure our patients' wishes for organ donation are followed.” However, a coalition of 1,100 transplant professionals and patients sent their own letter in defense of organ donation organizations, arguing that misinformation is eroding public trust and discouraging potential donors from signing up. They emphasized that stories like Hoover's, when inaccurately represented, create fear and confusion, impacting the life-saving practice of organ donation. While KODA continues to deny any misconduct, the case is far from settled, with many questions still unanswered about the protocols followed during the procedure and the events leading up to Hoover's presumed death. Martin, reflecting on the experience, summed up the gravity of the situation, stating, “Everybody's worst nightmare” is the possibility of being alive during such a procedure. As investigations continue, the medical community, government officials, and the public are left to grapple with the implications of this alarming incident and its potential impact on the future of organ donation in the United States. ### #OrganDonation #KentuckyHealth #AnthonyThomasHoover #KODA #Whistleblower #OrganDonationScandal Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
