To a North Carolina man he was denied a life-saving kidney transplant because the policy of the hospital where he was treated required that he had to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to undergo the operation, for which he had to reject more than 100 potential donors.

As reported by the news station WSOCChad Carswell said he receives dialysis three times a week, noting that he went to Atrium Health Wake Fores Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem hoping to receive a kidney transplant.

Without a kidney transplant, there’s no telling how long I’ll be here.I have to have a kidney to prolong my life,” Carswell said.

Carswell, a two-time amputee, has also had several major heart surgeries, adding that local businesses have held fundraisers for his operation, with more than 100 people offering to donate, he said. New York Post.

However, doctors and nurses notified the patient that he would have to be vaccinated before surgery, but he is refused to receive the anticovid dose despite the pleas.

“That’s when I politely told him there was nothing to talk about,” Carswell told the WSOC. “It was not in debate, I did not understand it. And he told me ‘you know you’re going to die if you don’t get it’, and I told him that I am willing to die“.

“I was born free and I will die free. I am not going to change my mind,” said Carswell, who does not believe that the vaccine should be an option, and that no one should be forced to receive it.

The patient highlighted that he has already talked with his family, and that all his close people know what his position is regarding vaccines.

However, Atrium Health suggested that your policy is in place to protect transplant patients who are at high risk of getting sick from COVID-19because they are immunocompromised.

“Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s policy follows the current standard of care in the United States, which is to vaccinate all patients on waiting lists, or who are being evaluated for a transplant,” the hospital said.

“We understand that some patients may not want to be vaccinated. In this case, patients may choose to be evaluated at another transplant center“added the health center.
