what a good person you are. To let it go will probably be harder than going through legal action and years of uncomfortable -- if not hostile -- feelings at family get togethers.
Sometimes all we can do is realize that we can love 'em but we can't always trust 'em. Sad, but true.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
People there are already being tricked into selling their organs (sm)
Did you see that special recently? They are promised a lot of money - which they really need - especially single women there - and they end up getting measly amounts for selling a kidney...it's very sad that people are that desperate for money. We are very fortunate here and need to remember that.
Why would you give organs to others if you had the diagnosis of meningitis?
I find this terribly strange- personally I would never have wanted them donated out- meningitis can be a killer itself.
any sepsis or pneumonia would have been--sm
found in the autopsy and it wasn't. Howard was not with her when she died. He was called by the nurse, before 911 call, and could not be reached. He was not even there...but his medications were.
Well, writing this after the episode was shown.
Doubt we will see Callie and McSteamy but Merideth better get over that thing she has not dealing with her life with mom or she may lose her man. Drives me nuts, let it go already, get over it, move on. Liking the new doc Yang has her eyes on more every episode. Gosh, we all sound like this is really a functional and actual hospital setting;-)
About 20 seconds of some porn got shown. Only in AZ, i think. nm

she died of sepsis. May have something to do with the birth in the Bahamas. sm
She may have developed an infection and it turned into sepsis. I knew a girl once who had a miscarriage, developed sepsis, and almost died 6 months later. She was weak (she may have attributed the severe depression to her weakness from the death of her son), and this just reminded me of that gal I knew. She (the girl I knew) finally went to the doctor and they immediately wheeled her to a room and began IV antibiotics (she, too had developed extremely high fevers), and the surgeon said that had she not come to see a doctor within 24 hours she would have died. And this was MONTHS after the miscarriage....So, just a theory. The doctor on CNN also had this theory - maternal something. I can't remember the diagnosis....
How would sepsis have been noted on autopsy? I am just curious and was
wondering if you knew the answer to that. I suppose they do laboratory work on the blood? Hmmm
Do you know of any systemic effects that sepsis has on the body? I am so fascinated and curious about autopsies, forensics, etc. Thanks!
