If you ran over a nail with your car and got a flat tire, would you just
put more air in without correcting the cause by removing the nail and
plugging the hole?
Yeah, for those who don't know it, a hole in a tire can easily be
plugged.
To continue, you can see how futile it would be to keep punping air into
the tire without correcting the problem. The air would just keep leaking
out.
No one seemed to know what was causing Bo's pancreas to "shut down".
Cancer was ruled out and I don't recall anyone ever saying what the
problem was.
Seems like a transplant could be a waste of time if whatever caused it
to "shut down" in the first place wasn't found and corrected. His
pancreas could "shut down" again.
