    Thank you for this video. I had a liver transplant 5 years ago tonight 11/20-21/2015 at Tampa General in Florida. I never had any problems since. Actually, I was in surgery this very minute 5 years ago tonight. 💙💚♻️
    God bless your dedication doctors.
    Again, thank you for sharing this video.

      How many medicines do you have to be on? Do you have many side effects from them? I know someone getting a transplant in the next day or two.

      Hey Mahice! DO NOT OPT FOR A BIOPSY IS WHAT I WOULD ADVICE.
      Feel free to get in touch! This is not a gimmick like many other comments so let me truthfully tell you in advance that I'll charge a fixed amount for my consultation. It's almost nothing in comparison to hospital treatments and other exorbitant medical bills and more importantly, my consultation is quite efficient and thoroughly result oriented.
      *Doctors gave me 90 days after looking at my MELD score in 2017.
      *There's one catch here, you're gonna have to be a little patient and follow my advice.
      *You're gonna have to get in touch with me and tell me about the exact condition in depth and about the history of the illness and follow what I ask you to do for 21 days. E-mail - Wreckednomore@gmail.com
      (I'm not a wealthy person like a film star or a sports star so I can't open a cancer treatment hospital after my recovery, so this is the only way I can pay back to the society by helping people who've lost hope. I have tried to treat 4 people who I had interacted with during the time I was hospitalised, without any medical expertise or degree by using the same formula I came up with, for myself and all of them are much better. None of them needs a transplant for at least 5-7 years. And in the next five years or so, who knows?! Nobody might require a transplant at all.)

      Go to the UK, Australia etc. No-one thinks twice about it there. In fact it's pretty normal that your Doctor/Surgeon will be of Arab/Indian/Pakistani/Asian origin as those cultural groups often gravitate to Medicine.

Us, meaning my siblings and I, all over 25 (grown) how do I go about information? Even if it’s just questions about his particular situation? Nurse? Doctor? Nutritionist?
