Kentucky Man Declared Brain Dead Woke Up During Organ Harvesting

Case of Anthony Thomas TJ Hoover II is under investigation by state and federal government officials

The Guardian 25 OCT 2024

Officials in the US organ-procurement system insist there are safeguards in place to prevent such episodes.

A man who had gone into cardiac arrest and been declared brain dead woke up as surgeons in his home state of Kentucky were in the middle of harvesting his organs for donation, his family has told media outlets.

His family told the outlets their experience highlights a need for at least some reform.

Hoovers sister, Donna Rhorer, recounted how Hoover was taken to Baptist health hospital in Richmond, Kentucky, in October 2021 because of a drug overdose. Doctors soon told Rhorer and her relatives that Hoover lacked any reflexes or brain activity, and they ultimately decided to remove him from life support, as WKYT noted.

The staff at Baptist then reportedly told Rhorer and her family that Hoover had given permission for his organs to be donated in the event of his death. To honor his wishes, the hospital tested which of his organs would be viable for donation, and the facility even had a ceremony honoring him.

Rhorer said she noticed Hoovers eyes open up and seemingly track his loved ones movements, according to WKYT. We were told it was just reflexes just a normal thing, she said to the outlet.

About an hour after Hoover had been brought into surgery for his organs to be retrieved, a doctor came out and explained that Hoover wasnt ready He woke up, Rhorer said.

Rhorer recalled getting instructions to bring her brother home and make him comfortable, though he likely would not live much longer. She has been caring for Hoover for the past three years while he grapples with trouble walking, remembering and talking. Rhorer only learned the full details of her brothers surgery at the hands of Baptist and the Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates (Koda) in Jan.

Hoover begin thrashing around on the operating table as well as start crying visibly, according to NPR.

In response to the accounts relayed by Rhorer to WKYT and NPR, Baptist health said in a statement that patient safety was its highest priority.

He made attempts to say: Hey, I?m here, but it was kind of ignored, Rhorer said to WKYT. They finally stopped the procedure because he was showing too many signs of life.

In my heart of hearts, I knew something went on, but I compared it to David and Goliath. Who am I to go up against the medical system??
