the truth is, they suggest when you go to get a limb removed (god forbid) that you write on the oppostie one so they dont fuck up...

like milk cartons "open other end" - "cut off other leg"...

nein. She went in to be treated for complications from birth.. They have to ask permission to do anything this severe.

[bukdez]

dude, read the article... she went in for birth, and had to stay 12 days due to complications, they found that to be the flesh eating bacteria...


obviously they were afraid of the disease spreading, as it does... the premier of quebec had to have his eg amputated for the same reason so i dont see why they wouldnt lop some chicks off...

How in the hell would someone get an awful disease like that.... ed:

Shit happens. I went into surgery twice (unrelated reasons) and once left a note saying "Remove appendix ONLY. Leave all other vital organs alone" Doctor found that to be funny.

Other time was when the doctor and staff were preparing for surgery. I called everyone in the room around the operating table where i was lying and said. "Well, i hope everyone got a good nights rest .Now, do we all know why we're here today"?
They all laughed and assured me i'll wake up with everything intact.

[Scorched Earth]

You never woke up. This is all a dream! *dun dun dun...dramatic reverb*

Anyhow, thats pretty sick.

I think most hospitals in the USA especially those in areas with a decent rate of poverty contain ICU's(Intensive Care Units) for things like this. Its basically like in the movies where they put the person in an air tight tent.
streptococcus; commonly called Strept Throat in the streptococcus pneumoniae form is usually a Virus that infects the Mucous glands in the mouth and throat. In very rare cases it can infect the skin, tissue, or muscle of the patient. Some and I think most forms of it have vaccines(antibiotics).

no vaccines, but anitbiotics yes... but failing to finish the cycle can lead to worse illness that can cause heart damage or the 'flesh eating' bacteria...
