She was being flown to LA for a kidney transplant, and the plane got diverted to Salt Lake. After the evacuation, Patroni tells Nancy Olson the hospital "has a kidney, and they're ready for the transplant." So she's flying clear across the country to get a kidney, and Salt Lake's hospital just happens to have one, or have found one that matches? Or is there some other explanation ...?
shareMaybe, under the circumstances, they flew the kidney to Salt Lake. Of course that raises the question as to why they couldn't have just flown it all the way to DC. Or maybe they checked the records and decided they could give her Erik Estrada's kidneys.
shareHeh heh, yeah good one!
shareThey flew over a new kidney for Blair AND a new brain for the screenwriter.
shareThey cpould have just hooked her back up on dialysis like she was before.
shareThey could put her back on dialysis and made arrangements for the kidney to be delivered. There is nothing that a hospital wants more than this kind of publicity.
shareJust goes to show you how much this movie sucked, and how I can't look at the Linda Blair scenes without flashing forward to Airplane and cracking up.
I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
WHat I thought was that they flew the kidney to Salt Lake City for Linda Blair.
