Abstract

This case explores three tragic situations that lent themselves to organ donation. In each situation, doctors across the Midwest must work to save borderline deaths while communicating the tragic results to family. The first case deals with an accidental drowning of a toddler in the home pool. The second is a drunk-driving case of an eighteen-year-old resulting in a car crash and lost lives of a couple. Third, a young boy commits suicide by hanging. In each case, extensive details of their death and the timeline of the situation are given. The cases detail why each situation allows for organ donation.
