American Hospital Gives Japanese Mobsters Liver Transplants

Imagine you or your loved one are in need of a liver transplant, and you both were admitted to the best hospital to have the surgery done. 

You're law abiding American citizens who are in desperate need of this medical assistance; it's a life or death situation. 

Now imagine the hospital you're admitted to refuses to do the surgery and instead, opts to do the transplant on four other people who are also in need of a liver. But what if the chosen ones weren't even law abiding citizens; what if they were Japanese mobsters? Are you confused?

If you're puzzled, is it because the latter seems to far-fetched too imagine?

Understandable, but this really did happen at UCLA (University of California in Los Angeles) where certain hospital specialists decided it was more important to give four Japanese mobsters liver transplants, while American citizens stood by dying due to the lack thereof.

Was somebody owed a favor?  

Or did somebody have "dirt" on another person and in order for the dirt to stay dirty, certain strings had to be pulled? I'm all for helping those in need but when an American hospital, doesn't help their American people, I say an investigation should be conducted.
