I always find this interesting, because even if a relative gifts you a kidney I can't believe you don't feel indebted for life anyway

[HulklingsBoyfriend]

For those of you unaware - organs bought are from poor people exploited by the rich. The "donor" is someone beyond desperate for cash and sells their organ, decreasing their quality and quantity of life, whole the rich person has no such downside.

It's exploitation.

Bro don't they have a translator anywhere. I definitely wouldn't be doing a surgery without a translator present since that is a lawsuit waiting to happen and a life on my hands

Profitable. A word you don't want to hear in a hospital. America is weird when it comes to healthcare.

[amelonnamedkate]

That was a lot more wholesome than I was expecting

[bobbierobinson]

I like that the doctor saw how much this meant to both of them. It's funny how family works. I haven't seen some cousins in years, but when I do it's like last week.

This episode is hilarious to anyone who's worked in a hospital cause there are translation companies they can call with lots of languages available. Plus, no one decided to use Google Translate the entire time.

My aunt donated her kidney to my uncle because he was going to die without a new kidney. He is grateful to her because of this and they keep in contact with each other especially on the anniversary of the transplant

[danieldevito]

Honestly, I don't see the issue with someone who is willingly selling their kidney. One person gets their life saved, while the other gets paid. Seems like a win win situation.

[WarGrowlmon]

I guess he was just a massive jerk for the most part rather than actually doing anything illegal, but he really did care about his cousin.

[tomaspabon]

Wow I think this might be the first reference to the Gagauz language in an English piece of media

[c.w.simpsonproductions]

That donor recipient really should have kept his mouth shut.

[WarGrowlmon]

I like the personal connection and story from when they were kids.

No matter what this show always makes the heart beat faster

[willowkeyes]

It shows that we need doctors to triple check when it comes to ANY gut instinct. Be it a diagnosis or if the patient is lying or ANYTHING as this could have been a Black Market buy. It could have been.

I know this is a show, but it shows that ANYONE following their gut or their instinct isn't a bad thing. If something feels hanky, follow it and discuss it with others until its either proven otherwise or you were right. That goes for not just doctors, but people you see at a bar or you see someone with a suspicious bruise etc. As long as you don't hurt anyone (mentally or physically) or break the law, then it could save a life.

[taragabrielle]

Family is almost always the first resort. It’s more than life saving. It means the world to everyone

[stephw.]

It's Trevor from Ghosts!! It's great to finally see him wearing pants, haha.

[ariac]

So was he really his cousin, but they just didn't know each other a lot because they grew up in different countries?

[textingrose]

This
Google translate: I'm not even here. I'm an illusion.

[RavenSutcliffe]

I know it's not the point, but is anyone else horrified by an hospital having such a thing as VIP rooms and an "Ambassador suite"???
