A Swedish man is pursuing legal action after he heard doctors tell his girlfriend he would not make it, and began to inquire about his organs. Jimi Fritze suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed and doctors claimed he had no chance of living even though he did not suffer any brain damage.
Fritze, 43, was horrified when he heard doctors discussing his morbid future. Although he heard what they were saying he was not physically able to respond.
According to The Telegraph, Fritze said, “I heard them tell my girlfriend and my relatives that there was no hope. I couldn't do anything. I could only see and hear. I couldn't move my body."
According to the New York Daily News, Fritze is suing Gothenburg's Sahlgrenska Hospital for discussing the donation of his organs before he was brain dead. The hospital said that they would deal with the issue “very seriously.”
Fritze is in a wheel-chair but can now speak and move.
