Esther decided to donate organs for her life-and-death brother..I regret that I agreed with Hong Hye-gul. (Let's live together)



Doctor Yeo Esther recalled a time when she decided to donate organs for her sick sister.

Dr. Yeo Esther and Hong Hye-gul, a medical doctor, appeared on KBS2 entertainment program 「"Park Won-sook's Let's Live Together" that aired on the 9th.

Yeo Esther, Hong Hye-gul couple "We try to live a good life," he said, adding that he made an organ donation pledge. Yeo Esther said "Many people think there should be a great spirit of sacrifice, but I don't think so. Once upon a time, there was a situation where my brother had to receive an organ donation. I could have died in a few days. Liver transplantation was urgent after admission to the emergency room. I have five daughters, but my oldest sister had a son who was too young, and my second sister was abroad, so only me and my youngest sister were able to donate. Women have a small liver, so they can't give it to them alone, but they have to give it to two people. I couldn't do it without my spouse's consent, but my husband immediately agreed, and my youngest sister-in-law went away because she didn't want to agree. My husband persuaded my husband."

Hong Hye-gul "At that time, an acquaintance scolded me for being irresponsible. Liver donation was not simple at the time. It was a surgery that was also burdensome for donors by opening the ship with a crossword. If my wife had done it, I wouldn't have lived in my life. His eyes were so determined. The sister-in-law recovered dramatically and moved on. I have a lot of regrets." Yeo Esther "The organ donation we made is post-mortem donation. I don't think there will be any problems at all. I don't strongly recommend transplants between living people, but I don't think there's a problem after death.'
