You'll find information on all facets of organ transplantation, from the need for better organ allocation to problems of living donors. News is added several times per week, so please reload or refresh when you visit. Our site has gone RSS, Really Simple Syndication. You can download a reader or simply click the RSS button in the left column of every page. You will be instantly taken to the latest articles. You can also download a reader there if you like.
Please use the Google search to the left for any information you need on my site.
The news pages have been redone to a cleaner, neater format.
Try the normal and large links to the left. The size of the text increases dramatically when large is pressed. They work in Fire Fox and Internet Explorer.
Marylin's Transplant Page has been converted to a very standards compliant strict DTD. What this means is that our CSS and HTML have been certified to be standards compliant by the World Wide Web Consortium. When you use a standards compliant browser, you see exactly what the web developer had in mind. We highly suggest using Fire Fox from Mozilla. Unlike Microsoft's Internet Explorer, it is standards compliant, uses less disk space and just as easy to use. Give it a try.
