how do I become an organ transporter?
365766
An organ transporter? Or an organ donor? To donate organs, you can check the box on your drivers-liscense application, but make sure you discuss your wishes with your family because even if it says "organ donor" on your drivers liscense your family still has the last say. If you want to transport organs, become a surgeon.

that's actually a funny question I worked in organ transplant before.\n\nRN - There are several roles for nurses in organ transplant. the nurse does everything from managing the donor, allocate the organs, work with the recipients\n\nTransplant surgeon - they recover the organs and transplant\n\nHistotechnologist - the do the genetic testing to make sure the organs are a good match. They also do testing to make sure the donor doesn't have any communicable diseases\n\nCourier - they move the organs from one place to another, take lab specimens to different labs\n\nSurgical technicians - they help the surgeons recover the organs\n\nOrgan placement specialists - they place the organs for transplant, run the lists, fax charts, ets

you'll need to attend a 4 year college where you MUST take\n1. 1 year of general chemistry\n2. 1 year of organic chemistry\n3. 1 year oh physics\n4. 1 year of biology\ndepending on the medical school you choose, you may also need a semester of math, english, and a humanity (history, philosophy, ect.)\n\nyou also need to take the MCAT during your junior year of college. the mcat tests your ability to retain knowledge, and be able to apply it to an unfamiliar situation. which is essentially what doctors do.\n\nthe test is divided into 4 sections, physical science (half physics and half general chemistry), biological science (2/3 biology and 1/3 organic chemistry), verbal reasoning, and a writing section.\nphysical science, bio science, and verbal are each scored on a scale of 1-15 points. so a 45 is the maximum. to get into medical school, you need a 30, meaning at least a 10 from each section. writing is scored by a letter grade from J to T (j being the worst, t the best)\nso your score looks like this: 32P \nthe MCAT is an 8 hour test, and by the time you take it, it will be on the computer.\n\nduring medical school you'll study your anatomy, biochemistry, virology, ect, mostly during your first two years, then your last two years you do rotations, meaning you get to try all the medical specialties like surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, ect. \nyou graduate medical school.\nthen you get to discover the circus that is the match. \nyou apply for a specialty, pediatrics, at a certain hospital where you will be taught the ins and outs of your specialty. you'll be an md, but you'll essentially be "in training" for a number of years. \noh yes, the USMLE (us medical licensing exam) which has 3 steps, which you need to take to be an official doctor. the first two steps are taken during med school, the last one is taken during your residency.\nafter you complete your residency you try to get a "real" doctor spot, which is called an attending position, where you treat your own patients and have your own group of doctor wannabees to train.\n\nthrer's a LOT that i haven't covered, but that's everything in a nutshell.\n\ngood luck.

When my brother passed away in a motorcycle accident we had his organs donated.  They do not keep your body in a locker, the organs have to basically be fresh and alive so your body is kept alive on a life support machine.  Once the organs are removed, (his heart and liver) they are put on ice and flown by helicopter to a patient waiting in the surgery room for the donated organ.  This is all organized very quickly so the recipient of the organ is notified and sent immediately to the hospital for transplant surgery.   They can only take from a body what you or your family allow.  Some people donate their whole body to medical schools and forensic studies.  It was a great feeling to know that someone lived their life with the help of my brothers organs.  We never found out who recieved them but it would have been nice to meet them.  \n\nIf you want to research this further go to your search bar and type in Organ and Tissue Donation Programs and read the listed sites.  I hope this helped answer your question - I hope other people learn from this and make a wise choice in their life.  Once you are gone you might as well share what is left to benefit someone else in need.

I find nothing in the Bible that would prevent you from being an organ donor, and if your family agrees with your decision, then I would encourage you to do so.\n\nIn fact, doing this could be an important way to help someone facing a serious medical condition. Although you would never meet that person in this life, think of what your donation could mean to them. At least it could give that person a better quality of life—and in some instances could even mean the difference between life and death. The Bible says, "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people" (Galatians 6:10).\n\nYour question, however, touches on another issue that concerns me greatly—and that is the number of people who are killed or seriously injured in traffic accidents. One reason you were asked to indicate on your driver's license if you were willing to be an organ donor is because tens of thousands of people die on our roads every year—and you could be one of them. Ask God, therefore, to make you a better driver. This is just as much a God-given responsibility as any other.\n\nAbove all, remember that organ transplants may delay death for a time—but Christ offers us "an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you" (1 Peter 1:4). Is your faith and hope in Him? \n  The Bible does not give specific directions for the disposal of the body following death. Bible-era practices are described in Unger's Bible Dictionary as follows: "Interment in Bible times followed soon after death, as is evident in the narratives of the burial of Sarah (Genesis 23:1-20), Rachel (Genesis 35:19-20), and Rebekah's nurse (Genesis 35:8). The Hebrews did not normally cremate, except in most unusual cases of emergency, as in the case of Saul and his sons (1 Samuel 31:11-13). Later Babylonians burned their dead and deposited their ashes in ornate funerary urns, as did Greeks and Romans. Hebrews in later time, indicated by the numerous ossuaries found in New Testament Palestine, also practiced cremation." \n\nChristians will want to show respect for the body. Even though the essential person or spirit has moved on to an eternal destiny, the body is the tangible reminder of all that person meant to us. In addition, the body is destined for resurrection, transformation, and reunion with the spirit at Christ's return. Whether burial or cremation best expresses that appropriate respect is a very personal decision. The wishes of other close family members and friends should also be considered in any decision because they are the ones who will live with the decision and with the memories.\n\nAt the resurrection it will not make any difference whether a person's body has been buried or cremated. God knows how to raise the body, either in the resurrection of life or the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:28-29). The new body of a Christian will be a radically changed and glorified body like the body of the exalted Christ. It will be an eternal, spiritual body never again to experience weakness, disease, suffering, or death (1 Corinthians 15:35-54 and Philippians 3:20-21).

Hi, there. I was thinking of this career path. Since I'm more mature and lifting the heavy trays will be a problem down the road for me, I chose something else.  If you are strong, like to stand on your feet all day, can stand in one place on a stool for hours and not pee much, you might like it. There are many odors in the OR and it can be very stressful.  I found out this info from interviewing someone who has done that job for 20 yrs. Starting pay is around $18/hr. in the midwest. You could also work in clinics or out-patient facilities. You will always have a job! Good luck.\n\nP.S. Your local career college should have an informational meeting - so call there and see if you can get on the next scheduled meeting to know more. You must also be physically healthy and know CPR and then prepare to learn lots about chemistry, anatomy and you will write many papers too. They always do a criminal background check on all health care students as well.

At least 4 years of medical school \n5 years in a general surgical residency training program \n2-3 years cardiothoracic residency program during which they are usually exposed to six months of training in a  heart surgery service. \nTo become a competent Heart Surgeon, a further 2-4 years of specialized training in a heart surgery service is required \nAt least 2 years of specialized training needs to be at a fellowship level. Fellowship programs are usually offered by the major heart centers with large clinical and research programs. \nIdeally, the first 1-2 years after fellowship training should be spent at junior staff level in a major center. In select situations, a Pediatric Heart Surgeon may have started practice before such organized fellowships were available, but over the years has gained substantial  experience by devoting his or her practice to the care of people in need. \n\n\nI hope this helps....\n\nDon

5. Water Intake -- From the standpoint of water intake and fat loss, you want to be in a position where the liver is converting stored fat to energy. The liver has other functions, but this is one of its main jobs. Unfortunately, another of the liver’s duties is to pick up the slack for the kidneys, which need plenty of water to work properly (more than most people realize). \nIf the kidneys are water-deprived, the liver has to do the work of the kidneys along with its own (lowering its total productivity in the process). The liver then can’t metabolize fat as quickly or efficiently. If you allow this to happen, you’re setting yourself up to store fat because you've made the liver less efficient at turning stored body fat to energy. \n\nUsually if you multiply .55 times your weight, that should be enough in ounces of water to suffice. Water is the under rated fat loss tool.

This is what you need to do.\n\n1) In high school, take all the college prep courses, especially the science and math courses. You have to be good at these subjects, or choose another career.\n\n2) Four years of Pre-Med, with emphasis on a bachelor's degree in bilogy, or chemistry.\n\n3)If you are fortunate enough to get accepted into med-school, you have 4 years of hard work studying the general  aspects of medicine and general surgery.\n\n4) After you get your MD's degreeyou will have to pass a medical board to practice medicine as an intern in a hospital. After the one year internship is over, you can opt to become a generalpractioner, if that is your fancy. \n\n5) If you want to be a specialist in a medical field, such as internal medicine, you have a 3-5 year residency at a hospital, before you can get board certified in your area of specialization.

First you need to go to college and get your Medical School Requirements met. These usually include:  8 hours of General Biology (including labs); 8 hours of General Chemistry (again, including labs); 6 hours of Organic Chemistry (usually three is only an Orgo 2 lab-not a lab for orgo 1); 8 hours of Physics (including labs); Calculus I (only 3 med schools require Calc 2); Statistics I is suggested by many Medical schools; 4 hours Biochemistry (including lab); and then depending upon what Medical School you wish to get into, there are usually other science courses, usually some genetics and microbiology that Medical Schools look for. Upon completeing the required college classes you must take a standardized test called the MCAT, which is an admission test for Medical Schools that tests on the courses listed above. It is much like the SAT is for college and university admission.\n\nMost medical schools accept about 24-28ish MCAT scores and a 3.5 GPA from the collgee level work. In addition, they look for people that genuinely care for their community and show it with volunteer activities and dedication. Getting into Med School alone is very tricky.\n\nOnce in Medical School, you complete 2 years of book learning, and then do rotations with doctors in a hospital in many different medical areas. While you may be sure that you want to go into pediatrics, you must complete these rounds with satisfactory grades from the Doctors to proceed to your Internship. In your internship, you will begin to specialize within your field of medicine. If you did not recieve good enough grades from the pediatrician you rounded with, you will not be allowed to go into that field of medicine. You are an Intern for about a year, and then you are a resident for a number of years following that, until you have learned enough to be on your own.\n\nIt's a long path, but if you are determined and focused enough, it's very rewarding. Best of Luck!

GLUT transporters are found throughout the body, and allow glucose to be transported into a cell through facilitated-diffusion (no energy is required). There are specific locations for each of the GLUT transporters:\n\nGLUT 1: most important in the brain, it constantly takes up glucose, even in low glucose settings, since the brain (for the most part) can only use glucose, whereas all other body tissues can use other energy sources \n\nGLUT 2: liver, pancreas, intestine, kidney; GLUT 2 is responsible for moving glucose, galactose, and fructose from the inside of an intestinal cell into the bloodstream\n\nGLUT 3: neuron, kidney, placenta\n\nGLUT 4: muscle, adipose, heart; increased expression of GLUT 4 when insulin is released, there is hypoxia, or there are dietary changes\n\nGLUT 5: muscle, intestines, spermatozoa; uses FRUCTOSE, rather than glucose, as a substrate
