Mobbed: My Father The Hero Recap

She Knows Reality TV Magazine | Megan Wilson
Welcome to a brand new special season of Mobbed! This show takes extraordinary people, and give them an incredible honor. An unexpected flash mob! Hosted by America’s Got Talent judge Howie Mandel and a crew of helpers trying to deliver the surprise of a lifetime.

We open with Missie Holiday in Cincinatti Ohio, who talks about her father, a firefighter. In a tragic accident, he lost one of his daughters, and even his firefighting skills couldn’t save her. Missie begs Mobbed to honor her father and celebrate his life. The crew want to incorporate meeting the recipients of the lost daughter’s organs, in an attempt to continue her legacy.

Her father, Andy, started out as mayor, became fire chief, and has continued his firefighting career for 47 years. Missie’s sister was in a tragic accident on an icy road, and didn’t survive. When they were faced with the decision of donating her organs, they had no idea the lives they would save. Her organs went to four individuals, saving their lives.

The flash mob gets started out in Santa Monica. They want to get Andy to believe he’s posing for a firefighter calendar that honors heroes. The big issue is that Missy’s father is 75 years old! In a sprawling Santa Monica shopping center, the ruse begins. The crew decides to set up sound proof curtains in a vacant space in order to make it seem like an actual photo shoot.

Heart transplant recipient celebrates graduation with donor’s mom

A.J. Reyes, right, talks with Mary Knauer prior to a graduation ceremony for Samuel Merritt University nursing program students in Oakland, Calif. on Friday, May 26, 2017. Knauer's son was killed in a motorcycle crash in 2010 and Reyes received his heart in an organ transplant. (Kristopher Skinner/Bay Area News Group) At 25, AJ Reyes was suffering from congestive heart failure and running out of time. Unless the Vallejo resident got another organ to replace his damaged one, his doctors told him he would be dead within five years. Reyes went on the California Transplant Donor Network waiting list and in November of 2010, he got the call that he had been praying for. A strong, healthy heart had become available. But his joy was clouded by the knowledge that the news meant another family’s nightmare. Justin Olivera, a 40-year-old man from Willows, a small rural town in Northern California, had just been killed in a motorcycle accident. Olivera was an organ donor, and his heart...

The Kidney Crisis

Image
Hour Detroit Magazine | By Monica Mercer // Photographs by Josh Scott Myths about organ donation and transplantation are still contaminating the real issues behind a silent health problem Dr. Alan Koffron can conjure scene after scene from the medical TV genre where human kidneys have been integral to the plot: residents dropping them on the floor, crooked doctors profiting from organ trafficking, the wrong kidney placed in the wrong body. Kidney transplantation â€" the most commonly performed of all transplant procedures in the world â€" ranks high on the medical dramatics scale, Koffran says, but he’s not sure why. An organ transplantation surgeon with Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Koffron has performed thousands of kidney transplants. He and the other medical professionals involved in the process across the country know how heavily regulated it is in the United States, with checks and balances so strong that rarely does a kidney transplant involve any- thing remotely a...

Hawthorne woman's liver donation saves cousin, the 'big sister' she never had

North Jersey | Lindy Washburn CARMINE GALASSO/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Jennifer Carrino, left, and cousin Nina Walsh showing off their surgery scars. Nina donated a portion of her liver to her older cousin, likely saving her life. Over the last year, Jennifer Carrino had come back from the brink of death, survived internal bleeding and spent weeks in intensive care. Then came the hard part: asking her cousin for a part of her liver. In April, doctors told Jennifer that without a transplant she probably had a year to live. Jennifer, 37, was already on transplant waiting lists in two states, but it was going to take too long, they said. She needed to think about a living donor. Jennifer turned to her younger cousin, Nina Walsh, a slip of a woman with an outsized sense of generosity. She asked her to consider giving up part of her healthy liver. The procedure, pioneered 20 years ago, pushes the ethical boundaries of medicine because it goes against a basic tenet of medicine to “first do no ha...
