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

Clearly lots of people '******* care' as lots of people are either posting or replying about the grammar and spellings. What you actually means is *you* don't care... and if that's the case why are you posting about it?

seriously, this is the internet, grammar really doesn't matter here. it's not like the op was typing a paper.

I had acl reconstruction on my left knee a few days ago. I am a 31yr old female and the donor whose acl I received was a 25yr old male. I was given the option: donor tissue or harvest tissue from my other leg. You should have known.

donor tissue is easier on yoy! If I chose to harvest my own ligament, the doc would have had to cut open my other leg and use part of my hamstring. Then I would have had two extremely sore legs vs one.

It's called "donation." Besides, would you rather have not had the surgery at all? You could be grateful, you know.

suk it up, the skin is clean and steralized. It's not gross cuz that's what doctors do in situations like that. Although I have heard of a situation where scientists literally make artificial skin but I doubt it's a common practice.

yeah, FYL. You'd have been better off if your condition had been left to fester untreated, right? Also consider that we are all made of stardust and drinking dinosaur urine. A dead body has as many particles as a live one, and so forth.

that's just nasty. sue the hospital.

sue the hospital?really? The hospital would have either given a consent form to the OP or would have talked to her about the procedure before the surgery.Which means, OP wasn't listening or didn't read the consent form. And, OP should be grateful that she doesn't have a damn hole in her mouth anymore.
