Charlotte Gordon-Cumming said there was a “shocking” waste of organs
The wife of the author of The Horse Whisperer has called on the NHS to stop “wasting” organs which could be used for transplant.
Nicholas Evans, his wife, and two other family members suffered kidney failure after accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms three years ago.
Mr Evans’s wife, Charlotte Gordon-Cumming, said there was a “shocking” waste of organs from deceased donors.
She said currently only organs from deaths in intensive care were used.
Mr Evans, whose book became a Hollywood hit starring Robert Redford in 1998, ate mushrooms picked in woodland in Moray while on holiday in September 2008.
His wife Charlotte, her brother Sir Alastair Gordon-Cumming, and his wife, Louisa, also suffered severe kidney failure after the incident.
IF YOU THINK THIS IS HAPPENING JUST IN THE UK, THINK AGAIN. THERE IS MUCH TO DO HERE IN THE UNITED STATES AS WELL.
