What was your favorite part about playing Chang? Do you have a favorite episode of Community?

That was a great Chang episode. Thanks for the answer!

What are the pros and cons, both for the patient and the donor, for the different types of donation? What criteria decides if bone marrow or PBSC is used?

What does it mean when a patient has a rare HLA type? Is that relative to the registry or the general population? If they find a match does it mean that that donor is likely their only match?

When I donated PBSC I heard from an acquaintance that they had read a study about graft versus host disease that made it sound like it was better to find a donor with a slightly different HLA type. Is there any truth to this, and if so, what is the benefit?
