it also means when you are dying in the hospital...that they are less likely to try harder to save you --- bonus = they get your organs!!

The doctor who would be in charge of saving your life would most likely be some sort of trauma or heart surgeon, ER doctor, oncologist, etc. The kind of doctor who would be helping patients in need of organ transplants would be someone like a nephrologist, hepatologist, cardiologist, etc. What reason would the 1st group of MDs have for valuing the 2nd group of MDs’ patients more than their own?
