  2. Lol the doc saw "organ donor" and said "John hand me the scalp this guy will be stitched up in no ti…. wait ✋️… is this guy an organ donor?? He is?? U know what?? On Second thought. He'll die in 2 years tops anyway riding on this death machine ON TOP OF THAT he'll put others on the road at risk… Mark him as a lost cause. I just gotta snip here… and here….

  12. Great coverage. Feel good story. Such a wonderful gift. Much bravery on all sides.❤❤❤

  13. I’ve been an organ donor since I turned 18, but had anything happened before I turned 18 my parents agreed to donate my organs. If I pass away and some part of me is useful to save the life of another, take it so that someone else can live, at that point I have no use for it. Organ donation saves lives!!
