minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink126•edit-210 months agoWhat do you mean I have to stop drinking gin if I want a liver transplant? Patient dies because she didn’t follow doctor’s advice.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-40•10 months agoWhy would they want a liver transplant in the first place if they didn’t drink gin? Doctors not thinking it through
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-64•10 months agoNot remotely comparable. There is no reason to believe she is getting a transplant as a result of covid.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink57•10 months agoYou’re less likely to get a transplant if you’re more likely to ruin it based on your lifestyle.
