How do doctors match people on the waiting list with donors?
The organ available (should) always go to the person "with greatest need" (i.e the person who will die soonest without it) - assuming that the donor 'matches' the recipient. This means that the 'pool' of people needing a organ transplant is first narrowed down to those who have a compatible blood type/tissue type as the donor, and the "most ill" of those people gets the organ. Judging how ill a person is is carried out by statistical analysis of blood results readings (and other readings)- these readings are put into an algebraic formula, which calculates (based on blood results and other readings) approximately how long the person has to live (without a transplant). For example, MELD/PELD scores used to prioritise liver transplant candidates.

Because your immune system will try to destroy the new organ, anti rejection medicines are needed to decrease your immune system's response so the new organ stays healthy.
