56歲的胡小姐,6歲時因意外身體縫了40多針,卻也因當年器械消毒的不夠徹底而感染B型肝炎,40多歲時因呼吸困難、血壓低就醫才發現已經肝硬化及脾臟腫大,多次因食道靜脈瘤破裂吐血都深怕再也活不了,在等待5年又3個月後終於等到大愛捐肝,目前已換肝3年,她說,等待是值得的,會保持正常生活作息來珍惜這顆肝,因為是別人讓她生命延續,所以自己也簽了器捐讓愛能不斷延續。
45歲陳小姐則是嚴重慢性腎病,2022年接受大愛腎臟移植,她分享,年輕時曾為了減重吃來路不明的減肥藥,2014年身體健檢發現腎臟萎縮,到高醫檢查確診為腎絲球硬化症第4期,醫師建議洗腎,但她還是拖到病情惡化到第5期才接受腹膜透析,直到4年多前接到得以進行大愛器捐移植,終於免除每週3次的洗腎之苦,而且手術後5個月就回歸喜愛的路跑活動,目前也非常注意飲食,想好好保護這顆得來不易的腎臟。
高醫副院長陳芳銘表示,器官捐贈是一種珍貴的情操,器官移植是在有需要時,幫大家延續生命,是尊重生命的行為表現。
高醫移植中心主任張文燦強調,器官移植是醫院大團隊的合作,在末期器官衰竭的治療上,器官移植仍是許多患者重獲新生唯一的希望。每一次成功的移植手術,背後都是數十位醫療團隊成員日夜接力、分秒必爭的成果,但更關鍵的源頭,是捐贈家庭的慈悲與勇氣。
高醫邀請移植及等待移植的病友、活體捐贈者等,共同倡導器官捐贈簽署無私的愛。
