TJ Hoover was declared brain dead after suffering an overdose in October 2021, but his sister Donna Rhorer says doctors attempted to harvest his organs while he was still showing signs of life.
Rhorer says TJ’s eyes were open and tracking movement during his honor walk, when family members gather to say goodbye before organ donation surgery.
“Almost immediately as soon as his honor walk started, his eyes were opened, and they were tracking, looking around at the people that were there,” Rhorer said.
I have heard other anecdotes of doctors pushing families into cutting support so they can use the organs. Seems plausible to me
Yes this sort of bullshit is why lots of people die needlessly. Some lie that a friend of a friend supposedly “knew”. It’s conspiracy nonsense that would only ever make a shred of sense if the doctor pushing for it personally knew the recipient and also knew they were a match. Not saying it’s never happened but calling it dubious is too kind.
