Fat and thin people with kidney failure experience similar benefits to health and longevity when they receive a live donor kidney transplant. 

Yet fat patients are routinely denied kidney transplants until they lose weight, a delay that can increase the risk of serious complications like graft loss by as much as 68%.

“It’s not fat phobia! Fat people have higher rates of complications from surgery!! Doctors are just being prudent!”

People with diabetes and hepatitis C are not routinely denied kidney transplants, even though their conditions dramatically increase the risk of complication and death.

Also, when they are on dialysis, fat people have a survival advantage over thin people. Does this mean we should deny thin people dialysis until they can gain weight? Wouldn’t that be prudent?

“If you give a fat person a kidney, you’re throwing away an organ that could save someone’s life!” 

Providing kidney transplants to fat people saves lives. Fat people who receive a kidney transplant experience a 48 - 66% reduction in the risk of death in the year following the transplant, compared to fat people who do not receive a transplant.

“Fat people have higher rates of complications sweaty, that’s why they are denied transplants <3″

Fat people have an approximately 20% to 40% greater risk of death in the eight years following a kidney transplant compared to thin people (although we cannot know if that increased risk was caused by a delay in treatment, weight regain post transplantation among patients required to lose weight, or another confounding factor). But that risk is far outweighed by the survival benefits of transplantation, leading researchers to conclude that “obesity should not be a contraindication for transplantation.”   

[bigfatscience]

But honestly, this entire conversation is despicable. Inhuman. Soulless. People are actually conducting research to determine whether fat people should be offered life-saving medical care. Our world hates fat people so much, that this question seems reasonable to ask.

The PENNY DREADFUL: CITY OF ANGELS Trailer is here!

It has finally arrived, Dreadfuls! Feast your eyes on the first trailer for Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.

We start our story in 1938 Los Angeles when a grisly murder has shocked the city! Detective Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto) is embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles: from the building of the city’s first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart.

With a powerful cast of all new characters, be sure not to miss the premiere on Sunday, April 26th at 10/9c only on SHOWTIME!

“My ending for Frankie and Johnny almost didn’t survive because of notes from Paramount. I ended the picture with a montage of shots showing the main characters in bed, some with loves, some alone. The studio made noise about a shot of Frankie’s two gay neighbours, Tim and Bobby (played by Nathan Lane and Sean O’Bryan). In the scene I showed the two men simply holding each other, and then panned down to their dog at the end of the bed.

‘Can you cute the scene with the two homosexuals?’ a Paramount executive asked. ‘It might offend some people.’

‘No,’ I said. The men were an important part of the film.

‘’Well…hmmmm…can you cut from the two gay guys to the cuddly doggie a little faster?’

‘No,’ I said.

Trying to hide homosexuality behind the face of a cute puppy was a battle I had to win. I did.”
