Organ donation has become a common theme in our popular culture. Whether you are watching a movie like "John Q" or TV shows like "Grey's Anatomy" or "House", the process of organ donation makes its way into our consciousness. This increased awareness can be very helpful, but it also brings greater possibility of myths and misconceptions creeping into our decision-making. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish between a great story line and the truth. Myths and misconceptions about organ donation also stem from cultural beliefs, distrust of the medical establishment or even urban legends. For the 90,000 people on the waiting list for an organ, cutting through misinformation is a matter of life and death.

Here 's one of the most common myths about organ donation.
MYTH
If I am admitted to the hospital and they are aware that I have signed a donor card, I will not be treated as aggressively because of the need for organs.
FACT
The decision to sign a donor card will in no way affect the level of medical care for a sick or injured person. The team of doctors and nurses involved in treating the patient is not involved with the transplant/recovery team, which is called in only after death has occurred.

So come on out on Wednesday and join us. Remember ...Life's for sharing...pass it on!
