a member of the german parliament's committee on health he is a member of the f.d.p. party also known as the liberals he joins me tonight from munich mr allman is going to have you on the show you are a medical doctor by training you've worked at several hospitals here in germany what have you experienced when it comes to organ donations. well there is there are certain things that you do experience as a physician there's a frightening situation there a patient is brain dead and then you have to talk with relatives if they are willing to donate or not if you do not have one of those donation cards and i think the importance is that we in the hospitals have to look at the piece more closely and be aware that there is a potential donor in front of us there was a report that came out earlier this summer this past summer claiming that the problem was actually with hospitals not informing the foundation that handles right organ donations do you agree is that the problem are we talking about red tape
