This week we bring you the story of Mark's neighbor Rose, a woman in her late 20's who has already had two heart transplants, and is now on the waiting list for both a heart and liver transplant. She honored us by telling her story about navigating the emotional burdens, as well as the medical and insurance nightmares that come with long-term care. Please check to see if you are listed as an organ donor, and please make ethical and moral choices when it comes to who gets medical care in this country.

We also talk about an 88-year-old man who gets a WW1 missile stuck up his rectum, but don't let that take away from the organ donation thing.
