A heart transplant recipient at merely 4 months old, Shay is a mira- cle. Her smile lights up a room. Her heart beats strong. Her family is thankful and supports organ, tissue and eye donation every chance they get. Shay's devoted fam- ily marvels at the incredible gift of life Shay received on May 18, 2004. "We're so happy to have our new plate; it will make a huge difference and help increase the numbers on the Michigan Organ Donor Registry:' said Lisa Dorfman Ziff, Shay's mom, of Bloomfield Hills."Currently, we have sold approximately 800 plates. In order to keep the specialty plate available, we need to sell 1,200 more by the end of August.

Thomas was an organ donor and saved the lives of four critically ill Michigan residents. "With more than 3,000 people wait- ing in Michigan today for an organ transplant, we're hoping this new license plate will serve as one more reminder in Michigan that giving new life, new sight and new mobility is as selfless as it gets:' said Richard Pietroski, CEO of Gift of Life Michigan. JN CONTENTS "We can't wait to see these plates on the road:' Signing the back of your Michigan driver's license or state ID is no longer how to become a donor in this state.

The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is the organization that certifies plastic surgeons. When surgeons say they are "board certified," it does not necessarily mean ABPS-certified, so be sure to check. Also, ask about the surgeon's: • Training: Learn where they went to medical school and performed their residency. Look for a surgeon who constantly expands their education and improves their skills. • Hospital Privileges: Hospital privileges mean the doctor is in good standing with the local hospital and has met its requirements of conduct and training. • Memberships:Professional organizations and medical societies have their own criteria for physicians, such as ethical conduct, board certification or specializations. BE A DISCERNING CONSUMER OF ONLINE INFORMATION Many people turn to the Internet for answers. Remember that physician websites can be a nice introduction to the doctor's practice and the procedures offered, but there is no guarantee everything you read online is clinically accurate. Begin your research online, but wait for an in-person consultation to choose a physician with a solid record you feel is trustworthy. Before you change the way you look forever, Do Your Homework!
