Teary-eyed moment dying organ donor is given "walk of respect" by hospital staff, family and friends
In a heartbreaking moment, a dying man was given the final farewell by family, friends and medical staff at St Luke's Hospital in Meridian, Idaho in the most touching way. The 53-year-old patient received the 'walk of respect' as the staff wheeled him out in the corridor; he chose to donate his organs after his death. As the patient, whose identity hasn't been disclosed out of respect, made his way on the hospital bed, the tearful staff ceased operations to stand in silence and were joined by dozens of other people present in the corridor.
The man was taken away from the intensive care unit, where had been kept alive with life support, to the operating room. After he died, surgeons removed his donated organs, as per reports. His family didn't wish to disclose his details but revealed that the man allowed his last moments to be filmed. It's still not clear what illness he was suffering or what all organs will be donated.
