Waiting for an organ transplant is one of the most unsettling experiences in the whole of medicine. Why? Well, for one thing, anyone on the waiting list has an advanced terminal illness. If they don't receive a new heart or kidney, liver or lungs or some other vital organ they will die, and probably soon. For another, they have no idea if a new organ will be offered to them at all -- there is a shortage in almost every country in the world -- and, if one is offered, whether it will arrive in time or fit their individual needs.
