Default Kidney donor wants organ back from boss who fired her
The New York mother who was fired after she donated her kidney to save her boss's life demanded that the woman return the organ.

"You hate me so much, and I'm so despicable -- give me my kidney back!" wailed 47-year-old Debbie Stevens, of Long Island.

Her employer at Atlantic Automotive Group, Jackie Brucia, also 47, thanked Stevens for the gift Monday -- and then "wished her the best."

"I will always be grateful that she gave me a kidney," Brucia told 1010 WINS-AM radio. "I have nothing bad to say about her. I will always be grateful to her -- she did a wonderful thing for me."

This is why you never give an organ to someone who isn't in your family or a really, really close friend

I'll give my boss blood, sweet and tears but lay off the organs.

I gave my boss an organ once, but it wasn't a kidney. True story.
When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

I wouldn't touch that double-entendre with a ten foot...donated organ.

I'm sorry, but if you donate an organ to me and I'm in a position to keep you employed, well, you'll be employed a long time.

How about never giving/donating an organ while you're still alive.

This...

I can't imagine firing someone (even if it was directed higher up) who donated an organ to keep me alive. If it was me I think I would be the one giving up my job so the person could keep theirs if at all possible.
