but will she moonwalk on the roof of her suv???? I'd pay to see that!

Yeah, I don't think the average DUI offender is allowed to have their private psychiatrist visit them in jail, then tell the sheriff they need to be released because their anxiety is getting out of control. Seriously. Paris is so unpleasant to so many people (anyone remember hearing about her...

No offense taken...but my post was at least the 5th on this thread to mention the herpes and you didn't respond to any of the others...

Is the hot water bottle supposed to be for the herpes, or the insanity? :doh:

Sandraladeda, I agree with you! I was thinking the same thing. I think this is a coincidence and I can't imagine how a nutritional drink would cause priapism. Another frivolous lawsuit...*sigh* From WebMD: "In adults, priapism either has a known cause or an unknown cause, in which case it is...

Looking back, Speaker realizes he may have been able to raise the $100,000 to charter a flight home. He said he didn't because he didn't think he was a health risk to others. "In hindsight you can try … say maybe I could have planned something out, maybe could have raised money," he said...

Yep...this is a person who could afford a wedding in Greece and a several-week-long honeymoon in Europe that we are talking about. Yes, $100K is a lot of money, but I suspect that he could have raised it. In fact, I clearly recall seeing a quote from him in one of the many articles I read where...

Fran, The details that you give here make it sound suspicious. I agree with you that a second autopsy would be a good idea. Where was she for all that time, and why was she in the pool with her clothes on? Seems like if she just decided to sneak back for a swim, she would have been in her...

This is really sad :( It must be so hard for their families, friends, co-workers, and the family and friends of the patient who was supposed to get the transplant, too.

That's a hilarious image!

;) You're welcome Buzz! This FIL sounds a little weird to me. He has researched TB for 32 years but says he would have done the same thing as Andrew did...plus he says in the quote below that he believed Andrew was noncontagious. Hard for me to understand how someone who has researched the...

They should be able to do genetic analysis on Andrew's strain of TB that would definitively tell if it came from his FIL's lab.

Details, anybody can get TB, but you are correct that the immunocompromised have a higher risk of contracting the disease if exposed to it, and a higher risk of death from the disease if they get it. I found some info on smear-negative TB transmission in the medical literature. One study...

Yeah, Buzz, seriously, I can understand why you were so alarmed by your xray reports! The fall sounds like it was pretty bad too! I hope you are OK.

I was looking up some info on the protocols for which TB patients require respiratory isolation. Apparently there are several ways to determine who should be isolated, and when to discontinue isolation. I had remembered that patients considered to be on effective medication are usually not in...

You have a good point. Smaller groups or just Mom & Dad would have a hard time making as much noise as a big group.

I did read all of your post. I was responding to a rather emphatic point that you made at the beginning, because I disagreed with it. If you stop the ceremony every time cheers occur, you are creating even more of a disruption. And that may not be much of a deterrent anyway, because the...

Angelmom, you left out the rest of Daley's quote. I read it to mean that the general population has no cause for concern, but he does indicate that there is a level of concern for people sitting around Speaker, and that those people need to be tested: Jewish Medical and Research Center, where...

They are not affecting the rest of the students' entire lives. They can get their diplomas if they do 8 hours of community service. They are giving them a slap on the wrist for their friends' and relatives' failure to comply with a written contract. Sometimes I feel sorry for the schools. They...

FL Mom, good questions...from my understanding, the CDC had no legal authority to stop his travel or alert international authorities before they knew he had XDR TB. I posted a quote and a link a few pages back that describes the process for obtaining a court order to prevent Speaker from...
