It’s Brain Splatter Time

Well, I might be able to babble a while. That last post was kind of lame. The other day, Honey by Bobby Goldsboro came on the radio. My memories of that song were that it was a kinda sappy song that made me all sad. But listening to it now, again I notice myself turning …

Observations, Updates, And Other Goofiness

Here comes another giant pile of thoughts. The other day, the oldies radio station was on and The Poppy Family That’s Where I Went Wrong came on. And, unbidden, my only thought that came out loud and clear was “oh that poor bus stranger!” At that point I just started laughing. I didn’t feel one …

Keep Your Friends Close And Your Enemas Closer

Hmmm. This is just weird. This is the story. Wish I had more details. One sunday afternoon, an unnamed man who is apparently pretty close to blind got a knock on his door. “I’m here to give you an enema,” a woman said. He had just had some intestinal surgery, so thought maybe this was …

Taking "Tiles And More" To A Whole New Level

Here we go with another episode of hey moron, that’s not a doctor. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’ve ever gone to a doctor’s office in the back of a floor tile store. I’ve seen houses converted into medical offices, but it’s usually not in the back room. At any rate, …

Babies Wait For No Health Care System

I know rules are rules, but this is ridiculous. A couple immigrated here from India. The mom was three months pregnant. Apparently, in Ontario, the rule is that you have to wait 3 months before you are elligible for OHIP, the province’s health care. Well, the twins didn’t want to wait that long. They were …

He Asked You To Do What? And You Did It?

Wow. Speaking of frightening things people fall for… Steven Demink liked to cruise through online dating sites. He would steal pictures of male models and use them as his headshots. He called himself a psychologist and single father. He would find mothers, and convince them that as some form of therapy, they should engage in …

I Call For A Code Blew My Mind

I saw this a while ago, but couldn’t find a story on it. If you collapse in a hospital, you would think that you would have help readily available, right? Apparently not at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, B.C. according to Stephen Braybrooke. His father collapsed feet from a nursing station, and the nurses …

This Story Took Me To My Unhappy Place

Holy hell! This is just insane! It’s insane enough that a nurse would steal painkillers from a patient, but more insane is that the rest of the team carried on the procedure even though the patient was in obvious pain! Excuse me? They had to hold him down to finish. Hold him down? Wouldn’t someone …

Disease Transplant?

Good lord. Please don’t let our organ supply get so bad that our doctors start implanting diseased organs into patients awaiting transplants. A woman in the UK battling cystic fibrosis, for example, got a lung transplant. What they didn’t tell her was she received the lungs of a chain smoker. She didn’t make it long. …
