I was able to give a survey to 50 people. I asked these people questions about their gender, age bracket, and questions about transplants like if they know someone who has had a transplant, if there were any problems and so on. When I calculated the results I found it interesting that the main group of people that knew someone that has had a transplant were about even in the gender category, but ranged between 17 and 25 mostly.
When I asked a question about if the person they knew that had had a transplant had any problems with it now or after the procedure about 85% said yes. Most of the time the people that were surveyed said it was because of the body rejecting the new organ or the medicine causing a lot of harsh problems. This was surprising to me because I felt like not very many people experienced problems with this procedure but this opened my eyes to how dangerous it really can be.
Although many of the people talked about the problems that occurred during or after the procedure, I then found out whether the person survived or not. Out of the 85% that had problems only about 5 of those people passed away eventually after getting the transplant. Transplants help save many peoples’ lives every day. Think about it, if it were not for the transplant in the first place then probably 100% of the people that were known by those who participated in the survey would have passed away a lot sooner than with the new organ helping to save their body.
Transplants are rough in the process but in the long run it really pays off. You get to continue living and being with your family a lot longer than without the new organ.
i personally had a teacher who had to get a transplant and i know their was days where he just had to stay home the whole day because of the air quality and that threw me off so much because i did not know transplants were so sensitive.
