I was browsing Reddit and saw a comment about Sarah Hyland and her chest catheter. I didn’t recognized the name but when I Googled, I found out she was on Modern Family.
This is a selfie from the ER. I’m guessing it’s when her first transplanted kidney failed and she needed emergency dialysis, hence the chest catheter. I also found out that there are several celebrities that were on dialysis and received kidney transplants. Some of the names I recognized: Natalie Cole (singer), Tracy Morgan (SNL), George Lopez (comedian), and Sean Elliott (NBA). Maybe I’m secluded but I haven’t heard many celebrities, even those with kidney transplants, publicizing the need for kidney donors. If I had a bigger pulpit, I would talk about it all the time, now that I know how much dialysis sucks. I can understand if their kidney failed from drug use or neglect, but it’s still regrettable that there is such a huge shortage of kidney donors.
