Subject: cost of a lung transplant
Date: 14 August 1998 10:48
Anyone any idea how much a lung transplant would cost privately?
Would it have to be a heart/lung transplant, or can they just do
lungs these days?
Anyone had a pt who had this type of major surgery done privately?
How do they handle the waiting list for donors in such situations?
Oddly enough, the little booklet I have from the local BUPA hospital
doesn't quote an "all inclusive" price for (heart/)lung
transplantation.
On another matter, I was surfing the web yesterday, looking for
a web site for the (British) blood transfusion service or any
(UK-based) information for blood donors but could only find
American sites using the usual search engines. Anyone have any
better luck?
TIA
