A Chinese doctor dissected the lungs of a dead patient who donated his organs and a horrible video of the dissection shows a set of blackened lungs of the patient, who was a heavy smoker.

Doctor Chen Jingyu, a doctor at the Wuxi People’s Hospital in Jiangsu Province, China, removed the lungs from the patient.

However, Doctor Chen had to reject the organs of the donor because of his poor choice of lifestyle.

The organs were donated by a 52-year-old man who reportedly chain-smoked for 30 years.

Smoking causes the lungs to turn black, originally, they are pink.

Doctor Chen Jingyu is a top lung transplant surgeon in China and he is also the Vice President of the Wuxi People’s Hospital in Jiangsu Province, China.

After dissecting the organs from the donor, Dr. Chen realized they were not used due to the condition of the lungs.

According to reports, the lungs had lung calcification, bullous lung disease, and pulmonary emphysema, which were caused by chain-smoking.

In the video that was shared by Dr. Chen, he wrote, “Many smokers in this country have lungs which look like this. Our team decided to reject these lungs for transplant.”

He added, “If you’re a heavy smoker, your lungs may not be accepted even if you choose to donate them after death. Look at these lungs – do you still have the courage to smoke?”

According to Dr. Chen, the patient didn’t undergo a CT scan before his death.

The patient was reportedly declared brain dead, and his lungs were donated shortly after that.

Dr. Chen said, “Initial oxygenation index tests were OK, but when we harvested the organs, we realized we wouldn’t be able to use them.”

Dr. Chen added, “We Chinese love smoking. It would be impractical to say that we wouldn’t accept the lungs of all smokers, but there are strict standards.”

He continued, “These include lungs under 60 years of age in a patient who has only recently been declared medically dead; minor infections in the lungs and relatively clean chest X-rays are also acceptable. If the above conditions are met, we would consider transplanting the lungs.”

In a study that was conducted by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention of China in 2018, 26.6 percent of their population over 15-years-old smoke.
