It really just depends on how sick you are, and where you are, at least in the US.

For liver they use something called a MELD score. Kidney they use GFR, maybe other things, not as sure on that.

Where matters because the US is broken into transplant regions and you can only receive an organ for a region where you've been listed.

That's why, if you have money, you could go to a couple regions and get listed, then travel wherever the first organ is available.

In this particular case it was probably pretty important to transplant quickly, otherwise his kidneys likely would have failed.

This man's life drastically changed because he made a really poor decision.

Here's to hoping that I never have to find out first hand.

Just a literal Life Pro Tip for anyone still reading, sign up for organ donation. It will cost you nothing, the urban myths about hospitals harvesting the organs out of "locked in" locked in donors are total BS, but the lives you can save are very real.
