The Complicated World of Kidney Transplants

Mr. Hickey,/> OneLegacy in Los Angeles is the MOST UNETHICAL COMPANY my friends have ever worked for. 65% of OneLegacy’s Tissue Department either quit or were let go due to OneLegacy’s highly unethical practices. OneLegacy’s CEO мейд around $661,000 in 2009 alone. Then,the company laid off a lot of people late last year or early this year due to budget cuts. The jobs of these poor people who were laid off would have been saved if OneLegacy’s top management took a pay cut. A group of Onelegacy employees met with the media to divulge OneLegacy’s HIGHLY UNETHICAL practices but OneLegacy’s media department found out about this meeting and every employee in the Tissue Department was threatened with a small severance package to leave or quit their jobs if they participated in divulging OneLegacy’s evil practices and are unhappy with OneLegacy. The 65% of employees who left cannot believe the government’s oversight. The tissue department alone makes $250,000 (PER PERSON)PER TISSUE DONATION (That is skin, bones, corneas, heart valves and pericardium). This amount does NOT even include the amount мейд from the ORGAN DONATION (That is heart, liver, kidney and pancreas). The tissue department management insisted on getting 8 to 10 tissue donations per day. That means 8 to 10 or more people must die to make this possible. PEOPLE ARE TRULY TREATED LIKE NUMBERS HERE. Then OneLegacy throws a party for the donor families as propaganda for good public image. They treat their employees like crap although those employees still working there will not have the guts to say this out loud because they all need their jobs to pay their mortgages, bills, kids’ education, etc. . . . . The COO has threatened the tissue family coordinators on several occasions that they are all lucky to have jobs and to leave if they are unhappy. The management team is also mostly married to each other which is a violation of the company’s policy. 6 people in top management are all married to each other. In fact, they check or audit their spouse’s work. Hmmmmmmmm . . . . . . Sooooooo many cover ups. Soooooooooo MANY SECRETS at OneLegacy !!!!!!!! The tissue department manager in fact just recently (July of this year) instructed 2 coordinators to do something highly UNETHICAL and insisted that they follow his orders since both coordinators initially refused to follow his orders. Someone has to go head to head with OneLegacy. THE PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES MUST PETITION THE TISSUE DONATION PART OF THE ORGANIZATION TO BE GIVEN TO ANOTHER NON-PROFIT TISSUE DONATION ORGANIZATION TO AVOID THE COVER UPS AND MONOPOLY SINCE OneLegacy handles both the Organ and Tissue donation in the 7 major counties of Southern California. OneLegacy COO stated that making them handle both the Organ and tissue donation creates convenience. Yes, this creates CONVENIENCE ONLY FOR ONELEGACY AND LOTS OF MONEY FOR ONELEGACY. ONELEGACY WORKS WITH FOR PROFIT TISSUE PROCESSORS where your loved one’s donated body parts are then considered as a commodity and profit. LOS ANGELES, PLEASE, FOR OUR SAKE, PETITION that a RESPONSIBLE NON-PROFIT TISSUE DONATION ORGANIZATION (EVEN ONE RUN BY A MAJOR HOSPITAL) MUST TAKE OVER TISSUE DONATION IMMEDIATELY. These millions and millions of dollars мейд by OneLegacy should be handled by a NON-CORRUPT, HIGHLY ETHICAL and RESPONSIBLE non-profit organization whose goal is actually to help people and save lives and not mainly to profit from the grief and loss of others. GOD BLESS!
