A member asked:
For how long do people on the waiting list to recieve an organ/tissue usually wait?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: It depends on what organ(s) you are talking about and few other factors such as how sick you are and where you are listed. Some organs are allocated based on the severity of the patients' conditions (e.g. liver, heart, lungs) whereas for kidneys, it is based on how long you have been on the wait list.
