I am so excited! UCLA received my medical records 2 days after I saw my pulmonary doctor. A coordinator said I can expect a call after these are reviews. I asked if they received everything. He said if they need something they will call my doctor.This was on the 7th of July.
He also mentioned I may have to have a right and left heart cath.
My quesion is how long should I wait to hear from them?
Oh and this is for a lung transplant.

I read this a lot - turning down patients. I don't understand this concept (I am from India). Aren't hospitals bound by law to treat a sick patient at their doors? Unless of course if the patient couldn't afford the treatment, that's a different case.
Can someone please explain this to me..
Dear Deniz
Some patients are not a good candidate for transplant regardless if they can afford to pay for a transplant or not. I would imagine that would be the case for anyone who needed a transplant wherever they live.
Hi Nan. ;How are you doing? Was thinking of you. and was hoping to hear that you got your lung transplant?
Keep well
Barb
Keep trying and do not give up.
take care
prayer and wishes
I will be thinking of you Nan. Let us know what happen's
It's wonderful that you finally know when you will be receiving the call. I hope all will turn out well for you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. If you do not mind, let us know how it goes for you. Many hugs.
UPDATE! I called the UCLA transplant coordinator this week and he said I would get a call for a consultation with a Doctor next week! I sure hope this means they are considering me and I fly through the hoops and hurdles. I am more than ready to be put of the list. I can only believe in miracles and blessings.
You have a beautiful spirit and I am sure that the doctors will add that to your chart too.
Wishing you the BEST Nan. You go! What a great spirit you have.
Are you practicing Energy medicine?
Regarding the call, relax and let them contact you but if you get impatient after a few weeks, it does not hurt to call.
