This is a lovely testimonial but one that offers most of the positive and a lack of the reality for the aggregate of the population. As a 2x recipient, I am beyond grateful and humbled to have walked alongside 20 years of illness that led to 2 transplants. I know I am blessed beyond belief. But the other side is that many of us still stuggle with realites that accompany transplant or our pre-existing conditions. What isnt discussed and often overlooked by those promoting a specific narrative, is that most patients struggle with work post transplant, finances, insurance, medicare, lack of emotional resources or stress management due to insurance not covering, and anxiousness and bouts of depression. Transplant is a huge process with many facets. To get the whole story you need to interview and share with someone who is willing to tell the truth in honor but also not shy away from the reality. Patients desire the truth. It won't make you look less credible just rather just the opposite. It is difficult now a days for people to container all emotions and truths without demonizing a concept or person for holding the whole story. (This is not all, but most)
