cpr.org/2024/07/17/colorado-… Michael Puente fighting for what is right! Proud to have such a fantastic group of partners.

A Colorado doctor is fighting the FDA to allow men who have sex with men to donate their corneas

The Food and Drug Administration is relying on a paper published 30 years ago to deny the donations. Some say the science behind their exclusion is outdated.

Michael Puente, Jr., MD, @CUEyeCenter director of medical student education, is featured in a new @NPR article advocating for the guidelines for tissue donated by gay and bisexual men to align with those that apply to the rest of the human body. npr.org/sections/shots-healt…

Gay and bisexual men can donate blood and organs but not tissue like corneas

Federal regulations prevent the donations, including of ligaments, and blood vessels. Advocates say this needs to change.

i find it so weird that surgeons get so much hate because almost every surgeon i’ve met has been an adorable weirdo who’s excited to show you their favourite organ with the enthusiasm of a 7 year old telling you about their favourite dinosaur
