knows what a gift is

I imagine that if we do not give ourselves a gift

gift is a present that is

delivery to someone with a lot of love

with affection affection without expecting anything

In return

you have ever thought that

they can donate life and give life

good is the time to think what

gift of life is a very gift

beautiful and is the gift of being able to give life

we are doctors and really

when this happens how can I tell you

today we see the true way of giving life

back in 2006 I was in a

operating room doing a transplant a very

little

these lola presented her had only

nine months very small

the surgery was very difficult your mom to

Lorraine was giving life was

delivering a portion of his body

so that she could continue living

the surgery went long and complex

at the end of it that small portion that

his mom had given him is not

working well

where we who were in the operating room

we went out to score quickly in

national emergency and we knew that

We were going to have about 12 hours 24

hours to get a new donor in

that moment invaded no feeling that

the fear that had always left me

surgery of the children of not being able to help

in these limiting situations and it was a

It changed my life was the day I left it

systematic and technical to start

feel much deeper with my

patients and families

I thought a lot about the mom who just

finish a surgery

the operating room next to that maybe that and

won it was not going to work and I thought what

tremendous act of love not to give him something

to his son as a gift of life so that

I could go on living and thought that

singles for parents, no who does not

would give such a thing to his son who would not

I would do it for your beloved for your dad to

your brother or a very fraternal friend

that once thought to do it for

someone unknown

Maybe it’s the day to think about it when

You’re a transplant gets in Argentina

in motion a very complex mechanism

some are doctors some are

nurses the health team is activated

some transport to ambulances

some are on the helicopter plane and

all this is carried out quickly in

A few hours

know that a donor when there is a

organ donor can save up

eight lives

that is, at the same time in our

country are going to be doing eight

transplants and for each transplant

about 40 to 50 people participate

in every operation for the time being when

this happens around 400 to 500

people in our country are

working in unison in different

institutions and in different cities

to carry forward this gift of the

life transporting and caring for that gift

of the life that someone donated so that

someone can continue to live

today we have a waiting list very

long

we have around 8 thousand people

waiting for an organ

if you look around today

we are around a thousand in this theater

so we would have eight theaters of

these complete expect an organ and what

saddest is that there is a 20 30 for

hundred of those 8,000 who are going to lose their

life waiting not so a theater and

half of these will lose their lives

waiting for the organ because it does not reach its

donor

for now we are missing and we are

in

debt to ourselves because no

we know when it’s going to touch us to be

this side will not be on the other side when

we are going to need a transplant or if

some day we are lucky to be a

donor and be able to give life to another

person

at that time he also tells me

donor I worked in this job in

this a long time ago but

strikingly he had not scored in the

registration is a very simple thing that the

we can do on the web and it takes us

45 minutes and today I tell all the

I am a donor

I am an organ donor

but the most important thing I did was

manifest to my family and my beings

dear ones

they understand and they know that my oldest

happiness even though I work in this

if one day death surprises me more

early or later

my greatest happiness is going to be really

give life really hitting

someone

a part of me so I can continue

living

I remember an anecdote at a lunch

Sunday in family of pastas with my

Grandma as always for adults is

quite complex to understand and I commented

this I did this review of the donation of

bodies and I wanted to be donors my

grandmother

I quickly got into the ring but my

son tells me if something happens to you the street and

that’s why the knowledge will take you out

the organs is the great urban myth

exists

well I want you to know that they exile

that about their heads

we are the same medical group that

we work so that you can be

well that they have health

If we have an accident on the street,

group that will pick it up is for

save your life so that you are

well and quickly they will move it

a well-known institution and very

important is done to our city or in

the country so I said that to my grandmother

only thing that happens to you when you have some

accident on the street are exhibited

quickly as it happens here in our

city the same

our interzonal hospital so that we

attend and see what is happening to us

nothing did not tell me quickly but the

white trafic

never that urban myth that so much

it costs to tear that he resorts to our

society and resorts in spite of the

modernity that has never been possible

demonstrate despite the vast history

that we carry in Argentina of the donation

and organ transplant

there was never a single complaint and a

single foundation a transplant to

regular or an organ theft

so I told Grandmother the only thing that seemed

to a white trafic we know

when we do this in the ambulance that

he does not leave he does not go from one place to another to

move our patients to treat

the organs from one place to another not but

my little boy here and organ trafficking said

and I go back to the scene and tell him

grandma the only traffic that really

we have by that time I lived

air is vehicular traffic that sometimes

it’s hard for us to get through the hours

daytime traffic that is vehicular

we go with the organ we have to

get to the institution quickly

the transplant and re-place

in in the receiver and sometimes we have

happened to lose a lot of time about two

hours in these vehicular bindings

that day I think I convinced her when

we finished eating told me that part

because I did not want to be in that the

listen, said I think they want to be

organ donors said

so that day was quite pleasant for

me and it’s a little what I do many times

it’s about communicating and communicating well

so that everyone can be a donor

organs

everything can give a portion of life

the day that you touch if you can and that

make someone else happy for

download all these myths see that a

prayer for example of heart and of

lung

It takes four hours to know that we

they call and we do the operation

we have to implant it that the

we take out until we put it in four

hours

imagine today they went beyond what

that goes from dt to c’s

more than four hours or so in that

path could have been made

urgent transplant do that in a way

irregular is impossible for league of eight

hours for the pancreas 28 hours 12 hours

for kidney and also requires a

Extreme compatibility of size and weight

distances because many times it ‘s so

far in our country so it’s very very

complex do it irregularly

we always express this so that what

know they also have to know that a

Sometimes we can be on that side and

we can be on the side that

we need not necessarily be the

what we have to tell you what happened

with lola the story had a happy ending

that’s why I tell them about them

very friends since I was 9 months and that

it was growing and we have a fondness

special

Today are good airs and here I put

a successive picture of how his life was

her mom who had given away a part of

her body

He also gave her a little sister for years

after that or that donate organs sometimes

it does not mean the end of life

accepting it also when we

we found at a reception of a

transplant celebration and today room with 12

years with his brothers and consummated this

You can see it very well and well

grown up doing a lot of activity on

the procurement and donation of organs

and also helping children so that

can do their treatment 2 in the

care of a transplant in the post

operative and remote follow-up not

will be with us today here I

I wanted him to come on stage that you

know because sometimes knowing the

reality and seeing things in people

the human being realizes what

pass

lives in Buenos Aires and could not come by

a family theme but it’s very good

Health

so rest more but

as the note

I want to represent also the

women’s sector that go on stage and

that can see two girls from Mar del Plata

that are very special and that has also

received his transplant many years ago

some the other not so much how

they represent us the world games

for transplanted are medalists have

won things I have an expert in drawing

and that he’s doing very well at school

He told me to tell them so I want

they go with me adam and juliana so that

you see also

while people

this is the reality

we wanted them to see them and that

see what happens when you can

make a gift of life

Juli received a transplant at seven

months of liver is fine and makes its

normal life is student and is with

you were all sitting here like

adana received one more and transplantation

marrow in the year 2011 and is also with

a lot of activity and they are very strong

solicitors to transmit this message

of organ donation and as young people

they are very good to see also with

here we want to tell several things

plus

in argentina every six hours is

doing a transplant knows how it ends

this day four will have been made

transplants throughout our country

28 or end the week and around

1,200

I hope a little more when the year ends

that is very important but still still

we are missing because if all

we were donors that list of eight thousand

people

it would disappear quickly in two or three

years and any of you that is

here if needed, it could be

transplanted quickly without having to

wait but difficult to be donors to

times because we suppose now that they are

convinces them all as convinced that

the day to my grandmother and todaka we left that

we are a thousand and we are going to be donors but yes

all of a sudden when we go out we lose the

life only one of us or one

every 1,000 deaths could be a

real donor so give me this

difficulty

that’s why we want to persuade you that in

the situation that once

ask if they want to be donors or that

there is a situation in the family to be

donor because it’s a real flyer is the

situation today we must not lose this

talk was delayed a little bit because in

our country

at two in the morning today we receive a

called and an organ donor

unfortunately someone lost his life

a young man of 27 years but not 8 gifts

different to eight cities

different to eight different patients and

which luckily one of the gifts

it was for our our city and

we just finished 2 hours ago

a new liver transplant that came out

successful and is alive

[Applause]

remember that to be a donor as I said

it’s quite complicated because you have to

be an encephalic death situation

you will have heard that it can be

after a traffic accident that

may have a cerebral hemorrhage

where we the same group many

sometimes try to save his life that

patient and then doing certain

studies we find how they see in the photo

that the brain has stopped working and

no longer has vital function no longer has

ability to continue to breathe on its own

alone or to continue to maintain

cardiac circulation alone so

so much is to the special situation that

we have the possibility to take

that gift and with the equipment that is

our or any other protect that

gift that we have and try to take it

very carefully so that I can

have another person

this photo represents a lot also where

it is also given and staj a and there are many

others more

because apart from the lola stories

adana and juli

there are many testimonies to know there

many testimonies from patients who

they received their transplants and they received

his gift of life and I also want to do

a recognition to the whole line of

back that is a little bit the most affectionate and

respect that I have for the whole group that

work in our city of sea of

silver in pueyrredón clinic to do

these transplants and will carry on in

other institutions too many

transplants so that you can

be well within all those who are

I would like you to leave here too

paying many others who have received

organs and the gift of life as

it can be honey like can be gabriel

How can Horacio be like

Patricia Silvia talking seems like everything

forced

they deserve great applause because they have

received his gift of life and they are

taking good care of your health

but louder the applause that

deserve donors that fit

altruistic and selfless have given a

gift for someone unknown so

he asks for another applause

with them standing up and with those here in the

scenario and with the one of buenos aires with

all the heart here with us them

we want to ask all of you if

they were as sick as anyone

of them who was receiving an organ

they would receive a transplant and a prayer

our answer is undeniable

surely they are saying it and

then why would not that give the other

question leave your organs here in the

land of jaén the gift of life here

on earth because they think that there

heaven

we just need the many rooms

Thank you

me
