18th December 2009 
On my "
fourth birthday " I wish you a good tomorrow. Today, four years ago, I received my new lungs, me - thank God - powered correctly and easily with air.
It is time, and publicly to think of my organ donor and his or his family to say thanks. I do this regularly, while one in 20 December since my transplant is a very special day already.
In these four years, with the new organ for me my lungs become something unique, which I feel deeply connected. From this relationship is for me arose an obligation, from which I do advertising for organ donation, where advertising is actually a misnomer. It would be better to give information, explanations and statements, for the majority of the population knows much too little about organ donation. The diagnosis of brain death is still, for many always a "black hole of knowledge
" and thus a brake on organ donation.
These shortcomings of the people I want - along with many others - seeking to eliminate. For this I use all possible means, ie newspaper and radio interviews, TV appearances, direct address of the people, events, this regular blog, and many more. Why all this? Are they the similar activities of
BZgA , the DSO
, the
not health ministries at federal and countries and many other enough? No, unfortunately! Most people in our country are too lazy to fill and immobile. They are also predominantly only interested in their own things, but not the common good and the state, which they will eventually even themselves, and they must share as citizens. If I imagine that next year 2010 probably serious changes in the field of organ donation and transplant medicine are in Europe (see
interview by Prof. Lily ), then I'm coming into great consideration. If I also change the law in the Israeli Transplantation think after that it will continue a "weighting
need for transplantation ", then already well recognized in the future reaching change in the field of transplant medicine. A next step could be that only wealthy or very well insured patients to expect the allocation of a needed organ.
This rather unattractive prospect, and the wide ignorance existing in the population is fundamental for my efforts. However, this is the reason for today's cartoon shown. The problem is named therein have, in fact, in this form is no longer out of hand. My readers may simply think of the constant controversy about the "electronic health card
. That is why today I have chosen on my fourth birthday, this cartoon and this topic.
With these thoughts I wish all my readers and friends a peaceful and beautiful fourth Advent Sunday. Tomorrow it goes back further with the presentation already begun to brain death and its diagnosis. Wishing you all a friendly Buen Camino Lothar
