E.R.'s Dramatic Season Premire


We thank Mr. Crichton and the writers of ER for their season premier, "Life After Death."

Their accurate and sensitive portrayal of Dr. Pratt’s progression to brain death and the valiant efforts of his team to save his life will have a strong, and positive, impact on the public’s understanding and perception of organ donation.

One of the public’s most common fears about donation comes from a misunderstanding of brain death.


“Life After Death” showed viewers the many tests that are performed to determine brain death and made it clear that Dr. Pratt was not on “life” support. Also true-to-life, the number of lives saved through Dr. Pratt’s gift were a source of strength and hope for his friends and family.
