May- Relay 4 Life

HOSA has a Relay 4 Life team that is open to all members. Relay 4 Life is a
community event that supports Cancer by raising awareness and donations for the
American Cancer Society. This is an overnight event and more information will be
available closer to the event date.

For our first meeting, you have an assignment!

You have been assigned to a Medical Decisions Board for a university hospital.
Today, your decision involves a very common dilemma; one kidney and four
patients
in complete renal failure, all in need of a kidney transplant.

All of the following patients are compatible recipients for the kidney to be
transplanted. The kidney donor was a 17-year-old male who was killed in a car
crash. The parents have requested that the kidney be transplanted in a teenager.
Please have your decision by our first meeting!!!
