BBC News - Wigan transplant patient given lungs of 30-year smoker


Description

The father of a woman who died after a double lung transplant said she would have been "horrified" to discover the organs were from a smoker of 30 years. Cystic fibrosis sufferer Lynsey Scott, of Wigan, died months after surgery at Wythenshawe Hospital last year. Allan Scott said she was not told that the donor smoked and is calling for patients to be given more information.
