I’d like to piggyback on this question:

If eventually the donated organ is rejected that means they need to go onto the registry multiple times.

Which means those that it took a long time the first time and almost died b/c of that wait they have a very decent chance of not getting a new one (unless random “luck”) which is then now an even greater death sentence.

So, while we can be thankful they got off the registry finally, we also know that once they get the transport and regain strength or whatever they better make the most of it b/c they are already on borrowed time.
