Fat transplant patients allowed to get sicker while waiting for organs, blamed for their own ill health

The very obese wait longer for organ transplants, up to ONE YEAR longer. The likely reason is that doctors view the obese as being at greater risk for complications and death, therefore donor organs are more likely to go to slimmer patients.

Well, you know why the obese patients might be doing worse? Because you're making them wait months and years longer than other patients for a transplant, giving them plenty of time to get sicker. And then you're blaming their weight for their failure to do well after a transplant!

Patients are being denied treatment, and then blamed for it. Words cannot express the cruelty of this situation.
