I’m on a rewatch & the scene where April has to pull his mother away from her son just slays me. That would probably be the hardest thing to do as a doctor, to separate a parent from their child.

Did this episode change anyones views on organ donation? I’ve had my license signed since I was 16 but I’m afraid by the time whatever kills me, things won’t be good anymore. I’ve never done anything extreme, like substance abuse, smoked regularly or been morbidly obese. But I’ve never had the best cholesterol levels, I’m seriously anemic (which I didn’t realize until this year affected cardiac health, even though it makes perfect sense). I take medicine for insomnia & anxiety. I know you can’t live just for making your body suitable for what’s going to happen to it when you’re done with it. But it still makes me sad when I think about it.

I’m glad they did this episode though because I had never heard of DACD before. If I’m ever in this situation (unlikely since I’m 51), I hope I’m given this choice. Anything they can use.
