Lung Transplant and the emotional roller coaster that is PT school

So, today there was a lecture about lung transplant and one of the guests was a patient who has had a lung transplant and has beaten all odds to survive, it is truly amazing what she has gone through and fought through and managed to survive and thrive after all her experiences. So before I continue, I have posted the documentary that cbc made and also her blog through which she recounted her events before and after her lung transplant.

Now if its so painful and raw for me to write this I cannot begin to imagine what Nat has gone through..I will be honest I was skeptical that lung transplant works and that people only survive 5-7 years afterword, and thought wrongly that a person that sick should be able to die naturally, but after hearing her story, I realized how wrong I was. I realized that everyone deserves a chance to live to the best of their ability and enjoy their life again.

I can't even begin to describe the emotions after watching those videos, because she is so honest, so real that it is just undescribable, to think of the pain that she went through...of the pain her family went through is incredibly sad but it does give a chance for everyone to discuss organ donation and even the biggest skeptic will melt when listening to her story.
