He was a young Mexican man, just 19 years old and in the prime of life. He had come to the United States, found a job, worked hard and had begun to achieve the American dream. He made enough money to send some home to his parents, and on Sundays he could enjoy a game of soccer in the park. And there he was, standing there at the goal waiting for the ball. Then he went down. Brain aneurysm.
Nobody knows for sure why aneurysms happen. They just do. And so the young man's life began to end as the part of his brain that made him be the guy he was faded away.
PLEASE NOTE: HOSPITALS DO NOT APPROACH FAMILIES FOR DONATION, THE FACT IS HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED BY REGULATION TO PHONE THE ORGAN PROCUREMENT ORGANIZATION AND HAVE A TRAINED REQUESTOR SPEAK WITH THE FAMILY. THIS IS TO ENSURE THAT THE HOSPITAL IS PROVIDING THE BEST CARE TO THE PATIENT; IN THE EVENT THE PATIENT DIES AND STILL ON THE MECHANICAL VENTILATOR, THE ORGAN PROCUREMENT WILL AT AN APPROPRIATE TIME SPEAK WITH THE FAMILY REGARDING DONATION.
