Seeking permission is an art

Early this month, a woman in Hubei province collapsed from a stroke - a burst blood vessel in her brain. In the ambulance, her daughter was asked an urgent question: Would she be willing to donate her mother's organs if the woman died?

Two hours later, the daughter signed an agreement and handed the permission paper to Wu Di, the organ donation coordinator at Wuhan Tongji Hospital, which has performed 329 organ transplants since early 2013, ranking second nationwide.

As the hospital's first organ donation coordinator, the 28-year-old has handled more than 100 cases in recent years.
