It's interesting that you get accused of being a "CNN/MSNBC/CBS fanboi" simply because you don't trust Fox News.
"You don't like black, therefore you must love white."
Nah, it's not really interesting at all.

The Economist takes a real commitment of time. i had a sub for a year. they are still piled up in my bathroom. i think i'm up to june 27, 2009 at the moment. actually, it's kind of an interesting exercise to be that far behind. you get the back story on events happening now and you get to see if the pundit predictions came to pass. boy, were they off for the longest time during the last presidential primaries. they pretty much thought Clinton had it in the bag.
I wish I had that much space in my bathroom!

I had my Gall bladder removed about two month ago.
On my follow up visit with the surgeon he asked if I had seen the pictures he took.
When he started showing me the pictures he said "oh ya you were the one that I had to take a piece of your liver with the gall bladder"
They had attached together.
I guess he forgot to mention it in the post surgery.
bruce- I had hernia surgery a month ago, and my surgeon explained everything he did post surgery. But, of course, I was so stoned out of my mind on painkillers I have NO idea what he said. He had to remove a few extra bits as part of the surgery. It wasn't until the followup that I really understood what he said.
And as far as postop infection... happens a lot. A lot less than 'in the day', of course, but it happens. Superbugs are another more recent issue as well.
Heckfire, I've got a localized infection now where one of the 'dissolving stitches' didn't dissolve, poked up and out, and got gunky. My wife (who is a nurse's aide) pulled it, irrigated it, and packed it with neosporin. I'll see the doc tomorrow for a probable course of antibiotics
