Outrage flooded the pages of Facebook and other social networking sites around the nation after Chrissy Rivera wrote a blog post about an anger-inducing conversation she and her husband allegedly had with a doctor at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia.
The doctor told them that he would not recommend a kidney transplant for their young daughter because she is mentally disabled, Chrissy Rivera said.
"And I said to the doctor, 'is this what you want us to let happen -- do you want us to let her die?' And he said 'yes,'" Rivera told NBC10 Monday.
------
The Riveras told NBC10 they got a call from CHOP on Sunday night.
They apologized for what happened. They didnt necessarily have any answers. They did agree with us that some things need to be changed, said Chrissy Rivera.
The Riveras said the hospital invited them to meet with the organ transplant team.
