Today, after recently having had surgery, I Iearnt that some extra tissue was needed to cover up the hole in the roof of my mouth. Where did they get this tissue? From a dead person. I now have the flesh of a dead person in my mouth, which by the way is now infected. FML

You know how much it means that you got a donation from a dead person? Nothing. Nothing at all, I don't give a shit that it came form a dead person, the needing surgery, and the area which was operated on being infected perhaps, but any tissue replacement comes from either your legs, or a dead person.

While I agree that you should be grateful that you are alive and no longer have a hole in your mouth, that's disgusting. it's really one thing to have an organ transplant or skin grafted from another person onto burns or something, but to know that an infected piece of tissue from another person (alive or dead) is in your MOUTH... *excuses herself to go vomit* ...is just too much. I'm so sorry. FYL.

cadaveric transplants are very common. it's not gross. it's just a bunch of cells treated with synthetics. I suppose they could have left the hole in the roof of your mouth. grow up

is it infected because u didn't take care of it right? because people are nice enough to donate their bodies so people don't have to have more extensive and painful surgery to get tissue from another place on their own body, which that body part needs. the tissue was sterilized and clean. take care of it and be thankful!

Yeah, sucks to be you. The higher-class hospitals usually grab someone off the street and use tissue from a living person instead. Oh, speaking of transplants from dead people, did you know that Alistaire Cooke, the famous TV historian had his bones sold on the transplant black market after he died? Some people from Biomedical Tissue Services of Fort Lee, New Jersey went to jail over that one. Also, when he died, the cancer had spread to his bones. I can't wait to see the FMLs from the poor buggers who received *those* transplants.
