The team of doctors did their rounds yesterday and informed me that im printing high. Apparently that is a good thing. They have considereda heart for me already but ultimately turned it down as it didn't meet enough of their criteria.

Basically they say whether or not i accept a heart unless it meets enough of their criteria and theres an infectious disease risk. Then they make me decide. [...]

Dear yahoo62278, first of all, thank you for putting all those efforts to write here... I can't even imagine how difficult this must be for you. Second of all, I am not sure if I understood properly what you said... So the doctors will take the decision for the transplant only if they believe the heart is 100% compatible with you and, otherwise, in case they find any other heart, which they don't consider to be 100% compatible -- in this case they ask you if you want it transplanted? Maybe I did not understand well, but this is how it sounds for and, if it is so, situation is way more difficult than I imagined...

So if it is so and I understood well, what will they do? If they find a heart which they consider it is 50% compatible with you they come and let you know about this percentage and ask you if you want it...? If things are like this, is there a minimum percentage for which they will come to ask you? I mean will they come to ask you if you want the heart even if they will say it is only 30% compatible with you? Or is there a higher threshold for this percentage, like a minimum compatibility of 75%...?

I don't know what else to say now... just I still keep you in my prayers...

My donation addresses are still live if anyone feels compelled, but Noone is obligated.

Maybe it would help to announce how much you need to cover the difference which is not included by the insurance...? I tried to look through the entire thread, but this is all I could find:

Regarding your own situation, if the complete process will cost over $1 million what percentage will the insurance company cover? I know you said it would be a good chunk but the definition is vague. Is around 90% correct? If so, that still leaves with a huge $100,000 to cover and it is painfully wrong on so many levels for someone to have to go through that stress when they are literally trying to have an operation to save their life (which in itself is extremely stressful).

My surgery is going to cost over a million dollars but Insurance will cover a good chunk of that.

80-90% range is what my insurance will cover.

Maybe knowing a precise amount would help...?

From the way it was explained, their decision is based off of if they feel the heart is a good match for me. They don't want to give me a damaged heart that won't last. I am fairly young and it would be a waste to open me up for something g that would last only a few years.

As far as me being able to decide, it's mainly talking about infectious diseases such as aids, hepatitis, or something along those lines. Some things are incurable so I would have to decide if I wanted to live with that. Unless I'll die without a heart at that time, I would decline.

Far as an exact amount, there is no amount. The donations just help with food, gas, hotels, and other expenses. I have not received a bill for anything yet and will deal with that when that time arrives.

I plan to continue working after I heal up a bit so I will try to cover my medical on my own. Anything else is just pure hey yahoo I want to help make things easier for you and your family type stuff.
