The patient had the organ transplanted at a hospital in Ohio in December and died in January, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson Lynn Sutfin said.

A subsequent investigation that also involved the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ohio Department of Health determined the patient got rabies from the donated organ. Sutfin did not specify which organ was transplanted.

    I am so glad I got transplanted last may because I think dialysis for 4 years might be preferable to receiving any kind of really serious medical procedures while this clown show is in charge.

      They got the organ in December. While this administration is a clown show, I don’t see how that’s relevant.

      Hey, congrats!

      That had to have been a huge relief, finally getting the transplant you needed.

          Yeah, sorry about that. I work for an insurance company, but not for much longer. (Not that I ever made that worse for you, I am/was in collections.)
