BILLBOARD PLEA WINS LIVER

I remember a Monty Python sketch..."We've come for your liver" where a man is slammed down on his kitchen table and his liver is removed...even though he's "not done with it yet".
This newlywed gets diagnosed with liver cancer shortly after his marriage and launches a billboard campaign to get one.He's just starting out in life...what a shocking development...cancer. So soon in what must be a charmed life...full of love and sentiment...that sets them off for a long journey of joy...except for that damnable cell destroying blight on happiness, cancer.
He gets one.
Good for him.
I saw a picture of a 20 year old girl in the local newspaper obits the last 2 days who died while waiting for a liver...on the list...the LIST of people waiting for a liver...her ship didn't come in and she died...waiting.
The picture showed a vibrant, attractive girl whose family apparently didn't have the money to put up billboards shilling for a liver...so she was relegated to the list, and she died...waiting on the list.
But this guy who had the means to mount a billboard marketing strategy to get his liver ( money is involved here) got his...she's dead and he's in recovery.
To the guy I say "congrats on having enough money to circumvent the LIST". I hope you have no complications and have a long and fruitful life.
To the girl I say " I'm sorry you were'nt affluent enough to save your own life"
To the world I say "there's something wrong with this system".
Apparently the girls family either didn't think of a suck up billboard or they couldn't afford it.
My mother died of liver cancer...there was no list, and certainly no money to shill for one...to the family of the girl, you have my empathy.
To the guy that bought one off...Good for you, but fuck you anyway...bitch.
There are no cuts in the line of life...at least there should'nt be.
