According to this blog by <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.jamiebug.blogspot.com/">http://www.jamiebug.blogspot.com/</a> the average wait time is only 16 days for lung tranplant at the Univeristy of Pittsburgh. The longest wait the have had in the year or so is 6 months. The did 15 lung transplants in November 2007 alone.
Anyway, I just found that shocking. I had no idea they did that many.
The blog is great. The young lady was tranplanted in December or January and is doing really well. That's great to hear. I will warn you, the blog has a picture of the surgery on it, so if you are squeemish keep that in mind.
