Guest gem Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 A Croatian lumberjack complained that a kidney transplant from a 50-year-old woman had left him addicted to housework. Stjepan Lizacic said that he had not been warned about the possible side effects of the transpalnt, which, in his case, were a newfound passion for ironing, sewing, and knitting. The above story is actually true. Any of you heard same? Have heard George Lopez (jokingly) said about similar side effects of his kidney transplant from his own wife. Quote
David Koot Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Just another step in the emasculation of the male gender and the feminization of society. It's happening in USA, Oz and now even Croatia! Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Dave Quote
Woody Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 To hear about these males acting as if they are females .... I think I might soon start preaching. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
D. Allan Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I hope he never needs a heart transplant! Quote dAb O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
David Koot Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Yes, imagine! For him to receive a woman's heart! What EVER would happen to him then?! Quote
Planey Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I am desperate for a kidney transplant. I am willing to take the risk. Graeme Quote Graeme____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Moderators Bravus Posted February 19, 2008 Moderators Posted February 19, 2008 The coolest thing I've heard of recently was a 7 year old girl in Australia who got a liver transplant. Over the next few months her blood group changed to that of the donor. Her immune system also changed so that it recognised the new liver as 'hers' and she was able to cease taking all anti-rejection drugs. The moral of these stories for me are that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and are much more than simply 'plug and play' machines with interchangeable parts. We didn't find the soul (I mean essence, not eternal and separate thing) by looking for it as an organ, but maybe it's spread through the whole body. Mind you, these kinds of tales would be more scientifically compelling if the recipient knew nothing at all about the donor and still exhibited his/her characteristics... otherwise it could simply be sympathetic/psychosomatic. Prayers you'll get your kidney, Graeme, and get unhooked from the machines. I'm sure you'd even accept one from a Liberal or a Catholic or a woman if it meant getting one. Of course, the odds are best for a healthy young kidney from a healthy young male motorcyclist: maybe you'll use your new-found freedom to get a fast bike! Quote Truth is important

jasd Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Some few years ago it was faddish for people to announce that they were in this or that Psychotherapeutic program – Perls’ Gestalt Therapy, Rolf’s Rolfing, Reich’s ‘Imprint Release’ (sorta like Scientology’s ‘clearing engrams’ – sans utilization of massage therapy), and others... (the ‘Vogue’ factor reminds me of those early Xtians who ‘subscribed’ to a baptism of this person or other) The upshot was that many people treated with Rolfing – or other – experienced the [traumatic] release of unsuspected (or forgotten) memories. These memories were speculated to have been stored in either muscular fascia or in the myofascia – hence Myofascial Release Therapy. Note: ...memories were speculated to have been stored in either muscular fascia and/or the myofascial... The same anecdotes, as mentioned in the lead post this thread, have become so commonplace as to have subsequently elicited “ho-hums”. Several things come to mind: either these deep manipulations act as trigger for deep-seated memories or, indeed, our musculature (including its ‘silverskin’) acts as memory banks; which, in turn, leads one to revisit the Biblical “whatsoever a man thinketh in his heart”, or his upper back, or his shoulders, or his... This is a subject where it is probably best to defer to cardw. Quote
Amelia Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Great fuel for the silver screen. I remember a movie about a woman who had eye transplants. She then started have flashback visions of murders. It turned out her eyes were donors from a serial killer. Yeah, it was a horror movie. Also a movie about a guy who got a hand transplant and all went well for a while then the hand started to assert itself. It had a mind of its own.

Moderators Bravus Posted February 20, 2008 Moderators Posted February 20, 2008 There's that Clint Eastwood one, Blood Work I think it's called, about a cop searching for the killer of the person who donated her heart to him. And I think I just saw a poster for a Jessica Alba remake(?) of the one about the eyes... Quote Truth is important

Scary but interesting how that really works scientifically/biologically. But a couple I knew (long time ago) became "soo attached" to each other after the husband had received blood transfusion from his wife. Quote
fccool Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Well, there's a movie of David Duchovny and him loosing his wife and falling in love with a girl who received her heart during a transplant surgery. So it seems Hollywood seen it all! I think that's why they keep modernizing Shakespeare when they run out of ideas. Quote
