Guest guest Posted September 10, 1999 Report Share Posted September 10, 1999 ! You are very blessed to have five people willing to give you part of their liver! These five people should be given a medal or at least some national news program should do a piece on them and you!! How many ERCP's have you had? Do they do it often? Again, I know you know how blessed you are and to the five people -- thank you for saving 's life!!
