Patients like this with middle-range MELD scores are difficult. Sick, but not sick enough to get transplanted. Two suggestions: (1) talk with the transplant team and see if MELD exceptions are an option to raise his score; (2) get evaluated at a center that transplants at lower MELD scores. Try University of Indiana. Good luck. Dr. Joe Galati
Definition of braille for English Language Learners. : a system of writing for blind people in which letters are represented by raised dots.
Technically Braille is the first system of digital writing, since the letters are encoded and can be manufactured and stored or printed mechanically. It is not a universal language however, as the encodings typically translate letters, demanding the reader know the language they are written in (see International Braille, which explains how in 1878 they standardized some elements for Braille across languages).
