But for some body organs there are not enough to go around, and some patients die before they can obtain a transplant. When only one organ is available and several patients need it for survival, the organ could be assigned to a patient by one of the following procedures: By auction: The organ is assigned to the patient who can pay the most for it; By first come, first served: the organ is assigned to the patient who has been waiting the longest.; By lottery: The organ is assigned to the patient whose name is drawn at random; By merit: The organ is assigned to the patient who can make the greatest contribution to others and society.

610) Problems often come up in life. Sometimes they're personal problems -- people are very unhappy, or nervous and irritable all the time. Sometimes there are problems in a marriage -- a husband and wife just can't get along with each other. Or, sometimes it's a personal problem with a child or a job. I'd like to ask you a few questions now about what you think a person might do to handle problems like this. For instance, let's suppose you had a lot of personal problems and you're very unhappy all the time. Let's suppose you've been that way for a long time, and it isn't getting any better. What do you think you'd do about it? 1. What R would do about the problem -- First mention (See Note 7: Codes for 1996 Topical Module: Mental Health on the ARDA summary page) (PROBFIX1)
