"You can do the math, which I did, and it would have been way past June before he got a liver in California,
“你可以算出來，我算了一下，要等到他在加利福尼亞得到一個肝臟，時間早就過了6月，
and the doctors felt that his liver would give out in about April," she recalled.

So she started asking questions and discovered that it was permissible to be on the list in two different states at the same time,

Such multiple listing is not discouraged by policy, even though critics say it favors the rich, but it is difficult.

The potential recipient had to be able to get to the chosen hospital within eight hours, which Jobs could do thanks to his plane,
一個是排位者必須能夠在8小時內(nèi)趕到選定的醫(yī)院，這一點(diǎn)喬布斯有私人飛機(jī)可以做到，
and the doctors from that hospital had to evaluate the patient in person before adding him or her to the list.
另一個是，選定醫(yī)院的醫(yī)生必須在把病人加入排位前對其進(jìn)行當(dāng)面評估。

Eason's unit was one of the best and busiest in the nation; in 2008 he and his team did 121 liver transplants.
伊森的機(jī)構(gòu)是全美國最好也是最忙的，2008年他和他的團(tuán)隊做了121例肝移植手術(shù)。

他不介意其他地方的人在孟菲斯重復(fù)排位。
"It's not gaming the system," he said. "It's people choosing where they want their health care.
“這并不是鉆系統(tǒng)的空子，”他說，“這是人們在選擇他們希望在哪兒看病。
