Emergency medicine physician story from 15 years ago: ER nurse's identical twin uncles (monozygotic, fertilized egg split). One profound alcoholic, lifelong tragedy, multiple failed quit attempts; other twin abstained completely. Alcoholic uncle had end-stage alcohol use disorder, cirrhotic liver, hepatic encephalopathy—talking into electric razor due to confusion. Needed liver transplant; twin brother refused partial liver donation, knowing he'd continue drinking and destroy it. Haunting story, especially as speaker is identical twin.
