I'd like to know if the ease of finding a living partial lung donor is anywhere as close in real life as it was in this episode. I know it's TV, but viewers should know the actors playing the Guatemalan father and daughter do not well represent actual Guatemalans. Most Guatemalans who come to the US illegally are extremely poor and uneducated. Most have never been to a real medical doctor in their lives. If they've ever received medical care in Guatemala, it was probably from a village medicine man with no actual formal medical training. Consequently, most Guatemalans we see in the US are very afraid of medical personnel here, they have no knowledge of the good that trained medical doctors can do, and they would, therefore, never set foot in a modern hospital. Also, this isn't meant as any kind of slight towards the Guatemalans who make their way here illegally, but most are very small in stature; kind of like Oompa Loompas. But God bless them.
