Being a living donor is the best someone can do earth and am happy to be among them. It make me feel fulfil but there is some test I was asked to do , but am finding it hard to get a local health provider

@uchimaobi, Welcome. We are happy that you have joined our discussion about Living Kidney Donation. Your opening statement is beautiful! If you have read the other entries, I think you have already met some others who are looking into the possibility.

@uchimaobi, I would like to ask you a couple questions so we can better carry on a conversation. Is that all right?
Are you already a donor, or are you looking for a way to get started on the process?

What are some questions that you would like to ask?

Am about to be a donor and I was in Mayo clinic last month and have done all test , but they emailed me that there is some other test I need to do so I have to be in Mayo again, but I told them am having tough time coming over there again .
Then they told to get a local health provider and fax their number to them so they will order the test I will do to them .but am finding it hard to get a local health provider because I don't have one right now .What. will i do??

@uchimaobi, Did you receive any contact information when you left Mayo last month? I would suggest that you give them a call about this problem. That is what I would do.
Do you have a family member, or a trusted friend nearby who might assist you with this?
Let me know what you find out.
Rosemary

Yes, I have the Nurse co-coordinator. Contact of kidney transplant and she told me if I get # fax number of the local health provider,, I should send it to her

@uchimaobi most hospitals keep a registry of the doctors accepting patients and can refer you. I think that would be a good first step.

Thank I will check it out this week. Am in Baltimore do you anyone I can contact.

@uchimaobi I have no idea who to contact in Baltimore but I don’t think you can wrong if you contact Johns Hopkins.
JK

Thank I will be tomorrow

@uchimaob, I am thinking about you during this month of April, as the nation celebrates and honors organ donors. I don't know whether this worked out for you, however, know that I consider you worthy of being honored because of your willingness to be part of the donor process.
