On CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 this Sunday, 4.23, 9 am, I will give a commentary following up on my Opinion in the NY Times : nyti.ms/3N4mChS

I just viewed Amy Silverstein, author beautiful video on CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 Her commentary was so eloquent, balanced, and honest. I hope the U.S. FDA American Society of Transplantation (AST) were listening because our collective patient voice will no longer be silent. Thank you Amy Silverstein, author for your advocacy

Thank you, CBS Sunday Morning

My request is that all members of the #transplanttwitter community view Amy Silverstein, author balanced discussion on gratitude + the need for #innovation in #transplantation Thank you Amy Silverstein, author

Transplant Nurses are the core of organ transplantation - they are central to the success of every program and every patients. Thank you for all you do!

To those asking how to help bring attention to the urgent need for focus and funding for safer, more effective transplant drugs, the first step is demanding action and attention from the largest org of transplant professionals. State your transplant truth: myast.org/form/contact

@mhm5443 Amy Silverstein, author they’re not “much better than before.” what drugs are you referring to specifically, the improved ones? she wrote this for the benefit of all transplant patients, to advocate for a better quality of life for us. nothing about this is “whiny” or incompatible with gratitude.

Amy Silverstein, author Amy, The dialogue and awareness you have stoked is just another gift you have bestowed upon us. You’re an important writer and a remarkable person. ❤️ Lizzie’s little sister.

And this is why spoke up. If we let this silence us, transplant life and survival will continue as it has for decades. I welcome all viewpoints. But I will not be silenced by them. #truthintransplant

@mhm5443 Amy Silverstein, author It's this "be thankful" attitude that stifles improvement. In no other patient population would such side effects be tolerated. It's possible to be both grateful and still advocate for improvement.

I am so grateful to Amy Silverstein, author for what she has done. She has shined a beam of light onto the rot which has creeped into our field. I promise to try and do better for her.

Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry: Worry never fixes anything.

Thank you WBUR On Point for sharing some of my story & highlighting key points in our broken organ donation system. A special thank you to Jen Erickson and Senator Elizabeth Warren for speaking up in support of organ donation reform. #MedTwitter #kidney wbur.org/onpoint/2023/0…

Listen...

Guys we should all get involved here - This should also work for the UK - if you haven’t seen Amy’s story and recent heartbreaking words take a look 💔 xx
