Location and Medical Geography

Get out of the cities if you want to live! That seems to be the point of the LA Times article "Death by Geography."

"For transplantation purposes, the U.S. is divided into 58 territories, each with its own supply of organs and demand for surgeries. To protect local access to organs, most donated within a territory go to patients waiting there, even if sicker patients are waiting elsewhere."

Be sure to read it all. You never know if it will one day save your life.

**Background on comment above**

A professor from Arizona did many very morally disgusting and probably criminal things to a fellow blogger. I see a very deep case of mental behind this. I am not excusing her horrible actions; I think she needs help.
