Denied kidney transplant because of mental problem. Need a lawyer please.?
Hi, My brother has schizophrenia and in kidney failure for 3 years now. Doctors have refused to put him on kidney transplant list saying. He will not take care of his new kidney.For reasons that he walks out of treatment at times and refuses to be treated. He also has seizures, which makes him confused. Just the other day he had several while at hospital and got up and walked out of the hospital. They just allowed him to, he fell out in the lobby. throwing up blood and all. They only talked about him being hard to deal with. I say to them he is confused seizures do that to you. dum a people. Anyway, this is out of control I need help getting him on that list. And seek damages to for my families mental distress of knowing my brother will soon die because they are refusing to add him to list. I am sure that he will die sooner than if given this chance of a new kidney. Who knows if given a new kidney he may live a long normal life. Any Lawyers reading this and willing to take on a lawsuit please contact my family. We live in Arkansas, the hospital treating him at this time is Jefferson Regional Medical Center. I feel like this is how hitler got rid of the poor people, kill off the weaker. Let the stronger live, I thought all men are suppose to be equal and have equal rights here in the USA. So that would mean he has right to be on that list.
 
You have no case.

Transplant organs are not that abundant, the waiting list is LONG, and finding one to MATCH your brother it's even harder so doctors really have to choose those who has the best chances to survive.

What can you do?

You can donate one of your own kidneys. You are on the waiting list when you wait for a donor. But organs donated by relatives or friends for an specific person don't fall under the waiting list rules.

So ask to be tested to see if you are a match (being a sibling it's almost a sure thing you'll be a good match; many people donate one of their kidneys and they have no health problems due to that).
