Plaeese, one individual being a donor match for 5 different individuals. Poppy cock!

Do the right thing and start a PCA morphine drip on the five. Give them a choice in their own fate. Give the potential donor some Tums and kick him/her out the door.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
