Walter Trout Moved Up On Liver Transplant Waiting List

04/14/2014
. (The Blues) Walter Trout has been moved to a hospital with a much shorter liver transplant waiting list, his wife Marie has confirmed. It means he's likely to receive the life-saving treatment sooner than he would have done if he'd remained a patient in Los Angeles.

The ailing bluesman's family last week appealed for more financial help after it was revealed he was the victim of two opposing health guidelines. Once his fitness score was high enough for him to survive the surgery, it meant he was also dropped lower down the list to receive it.

Now Marie reports: "Walter has just been accepted as a patient at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. This means a much shorter wait for a new liver than what was the case in LA." more on this story
