Champion Boston Celtics big man Scott Pollard may be a survivor, but he literally has a lot of heart and wants to do his part in the ultimate payback for the person who saved his life. There is. Mr Pollard, who was released from hospital after undergoing a heart transplant surgery to replace his own heart damaged by a viral infection and saving his life, hopes to use his platform to campaign for organ donation for others. There is.
The former Boston big man is in intensive care waiting for a heart large enough for his 7-foot, nearly 260-pound frame, and even if things ended well for Pollard, things didn’t end well. It’s easily possible. ‘That was a huge mistake’ Former Celtics center Said Associated Press.
“When they removed my heart, the doctors immediately realized that I was close to death,” he added. “I don’t think it’s been more than a few weeks.”
“The fact that it arrived so quickly probably saved my life. I don’t know how much longer I could have lived,” Pollard said. “I was declining really quickly.”
“I’m going to bother people by being a donor. It’s going to be a project for the rest of my life.”
