Here in Philadelphia, free wifi is available almost everywhere in the city. The SSID is something like "Free Wireless Philadelphia" and it has at least fair signal quality almost everywhere I've been (aside from inside some buildings, etc).
However, you can NEVER connect to it. The connection ALWAYS fails. I have never met a single person who was able to connect to it.
After doing some testing, I realized that the problem is their receivers. The transmitters are rather powerful and can be picked up by a laptop/tablet almost anywhere. However, good luck getting your laptop/tablet to transmit strong enough for their systems to even hear you.
I am an organ donor. My biggest fear is the fact that I am an organ donor may discourage some doctors from fighting their hardest to keep me alive. Essentially, the fact that a doctor knows I am an organ donor may encourage the doctor to give up on me too soon with the hopes that my organs may save someone else.
So here's my proposition: Keep a patients organ donor status hidden from doctors until after they declare me dead. That would at least balance the playing field.
I would like to see some stats comparing organ donors and non-organ donors- is more "final hour/last ditch effort" treatment given to non-organ donors as opposed to organ donors? Do physicians tend to go to more/less lengths to save an patient if he/she is an organ donor?
Well, obviously.
