Oh Taiga, I'm so sorry.

Thanks, guys. Silja, it's nice to hear that a real medical person sees it as a screw-up too. bailey, the surgeon meant that he wouldn't have performed the stomach surgery if he'd known she had a problem with her lungs. My guess (not being a medical person) is that it would have made the intubation/anesthesia dangerous.

I'm sorry Tagia! *insert one of those hug smilies that GG and Sauty always seem to have on hand*

I've got a comforting smiley...

So sorry to hear this Taiga. Hope you find comfort and acceptance.

I'm so glad that I'm not a Mets fan...

I FINALLY got around to goingto the Starving Musician today. It was so cool, there were lines of guitars on both walls and you could hardly ove becuse there was so much stuff. I just sat there for 1/2 an hour or so playing an acoustic guitar. It was fun. :)

Moved from the "guess I'll go first thread:" In other news, I'm not really sure where to put this article. Suffice it to say, the saga of the damaged leg made me think of House. But the side show surrounding all of it? Too strange to even explain.

Oh Taiga, hugs!!! That is definite medical malpractice, and I hope that something is in place to cover the upcoming expenses, whether it be insurance or the winning end of a malpractice suit. I agree with your idea as to why he wouldn't operate, plus, illness in general throws off even the most basic vital signs, especially in surgery. HTR - the music store I teach at is like that, and it's unlike anything in our area. You can play any instrument, and there's awesome music playing all the time, and if you want, you can just spend the day there without the manager kicking you out, especially if you buy her lunch.

Oh Taiga, I'm so sorry Ick. I was just informed on YouTube that England is not, in fact, a country, but a region in the Country of the United Kingdom. Much like, one person explained, the states in the USA. This information came from multiple people. I mean, gee, if only I'd known before Someone better tell Northern Ireland that despite the name, they aren't actually in the Ireland. They're in the country of the UK. Seriously. Don't these things just make you worry?

My best wishes to your cousin, Taiga, that her suffering can be minimized. In other news, I'm not really sure where to put this article. Suffice it to say, the saga of the damaged leg made me think of House. But the side show surrounding all of it? Too strange to even explain. That is just too wierd.

That, 407, is simply spiteful of them. It's not a country? Dear me... Someone better tell Northern Ireland that despite the name, they aren't actually in the Ireland. They're in the country of the UK. *pst* Don't poke them. Or the Scottish. ...the saga of the damaged leg made me think of House. But the side show surrounding all of it? Too strange to even explain. Someone in that story must have shagged a cousin or two at some point. Or possibly a goat. It's the only sensible explanation.

...Elvis?! Who's dat?! /sarcasm

Best part is that my sister is a huge Elvis fan lol in other news: Proof that steroids are bad for you...
