A transplant gave Javier
a
new liver
and a
new love.
On the night of his 22nd birthday, Javier had no idea it might be his last.
A healthy and active SMU student, he was suddenly
in critical condition with his mom driving in search of a hospital. They saw the shining cross atop Methodist Dallas Medical
Center as a sign of hope. Racing the clock, transplant physicians quickly diagnosed Javier’s failing liver as he fell unconscious.
He awoke a week later with a new liver and a new lease on life. Today, Javier will tell you he couldn’t have made it without
those doctors. His fiancée, Shaley, will tell you she couldn’t think of life without Javier.
See his story at www.MethodistHealthSystem.org / Transplant.
Texas law prohibits hospitals from practicing medicine. The physicians on the Methodist Health System medical staff, including those practicing at the Methodist Dallas Transplant Institute
and the Liver Institute at Methodist Dallas Medical Center, are independent practitioners who are not employees or agents of Methodist Health System or Methodist Dallas Medical Center.
