I had my tonsils removed and didn't want to eat for like 2 weeks because I felt like poo poo. Parents had to force powerade and stuff on me so I didn't lose electrolytes or whatever. I can't drink them now because of that.

For the first two weeks of recovery I couldn't eat anything at all. The painkillers made me nauseous, and the anti nausea meds gave me a headache. After I was able to eat I could barely swallow anything without choking on it, and everything tasted awful except soda because it was so sugary that it overpowered the blood taste. Gatorade and such were the only things I could handle for a long time because the carbonation of soda irritated my throat. I lost 11 pounds in two weeks and I'm a tall lanky guy who has trouble gaining weight so even 3 months out I am just now starting to approach my pre surgery weight.

So basically if you ever have your tonsils out be prepared for hell

The lawyer for the family backed a bill that would have essentially allowed a family to sue a California hospital for everything. Currently there is a capped limit for accidental deaths. It's $250,000.

The bill failed. His naked greed involving this case went a long ways towards killing it. Before that election he did things like take family members to the Superbowl, buy designer crap, etc. He was--and is--expecting a big payday.

Apparently the family fed the girl a hamburger after surgery. Currently they deny this, but that was their original claim. That, and that no one came to help stop the bleeding. Somewhere along the way this became the hospital and doctors attacking African American children, and racist.

yeah, you could tell the lawyer was a weasly ted cruz like gently caress. the "racism" angle reminds me of story i always get enraged at. there was this teen named Anthony Stokes in atlanta. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but the doctors wouldnt sign off on a transplant because he had a history of Non-compliance and bunch of other poo poo, like that he commited petty crimes. Now when you get a transplant. You need to be complaint, you need to take certain meds everyday at certain times and all kinds of other poo poo. I know i had two kidney transplants. anyway the mom blames the hospital and says they are racists and goes to the media and talks about here sweet boy was perfect angel. so after the public outcry he is put back on the list. 2 years later http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/04/01/teen-denied-then-given-transplant-dies-in-police-chase/70806176/
he dies running from the police after a failed robbery and almost killing a few people. so he wasted that heart. gently caress him, if there is a hell, i hope he is there.

That story had a bad ending, but I can't say that taking a chance on a 15-year old kid was the wrong decision.

i can understand that. But as someone who had to go through dyalisis for 3 years and watched people die or lose hope(including myself) waiting for kidneys and other organs(some need other transplants) this story is irritating, he had a chance to turn his life around but nope, Mommy blamed racism so he didnt need to change. now he is dead.

here is the law firm representing the body. they have tons of videos showing "evidence".
yeah they do.


only very soft poo poo. my guess is mom didnt pay attention and fed her crackers/chips.


from what i can tell, its a charity/christian hospital. I am sure they are either on charity/welfare or fundy welfare.

There's a 100% chance it's a swindler doc hiding behind bad state laws who is beating her Medicaid card like a money pinata.

While the mother is away they should pull the plug and incinerate her. When the mother comes back say it was a miracle the girl got up and walked out on her own, then show her some blurry video capture of a girl walking alone down the hall. Then the mother will be on a great adventure looking for her zombie daughter who's out wandering the world going on zany adventures. The lawyers will try to sue the hospital but they can't because it's an act of God and out of their control.

There, done.

Non gravity dependent, non-joint parts can keep looking fine for a long time if the heart and lungs are still running. With enough care everything can keep looking good.

I once briefly cared for an extremely rich man whose extremely rich family had spared no expense as he slowly succumbed to some kind of neurodegenerative disorder. As he had lost the ability to consciously move any muscle of his body, they had hired an immensely dedicated team of personal nurses who were with him 24/7, moving him, cleaning him, rolling him, suctioning him, etc. he had been dependent on a trach with nocturnal ventilator for 2 years at the time that I saw him. He had progressed to the point that he needed a ventilator 24/7 and they were just in the hospital briefly to get the additional necessary training on his travel vent and to confirm the contract with his 24/7 respiratory therapist. When I saw him, if he was still able to hear and comprehend he could give no sign of it. His body, however, was pristine. A perfect wax figure of his past self, with two nurses at all times industriously and systematically applying lotions and shifting weight to keep skin intact, flexing the joints in sequence to stave off contracture, applying drops to his unblinking eyes. A weak cough when they suctioned his trach the only evidence of non-artificial life. No one in the room pretended he could tell them what he wanted. That wasn't their job, their job was to preserve the physical vessel and they were God drat masters of their work.

That evening I wrote out a living will.

We should have a competition to write out a nightmare in a single paragraph. The first entry has set the bar.
