MYTH: “Doctors won’t save my life if they know I’m a donor.”
FACT: A doctor’s focus is to save your lifeThe doctors & nurses involved with the
transplant are not the same people who care for the patient during life.

become a deceased donor as well as a living donor.”

after death

dignity throughout the process, and will not look any
different
