I would think there would be a big MERSA risk with that many surgeries in a short period of time.

Or is that more dependent on the cleanliness of the hospital?

For those who may not know, MERSA refers to bacteria which are resistant to conventional antibiotics.

Shouting works.

Are you familiar with the yield ratios of dynamite with diesel soaked fertilizer?

Shouting is maximized in effect with an equal proportion of arm-waving.

MRSA is susceptible to vancomycin and several other broad spectrum antibiotics.  There are scarier bugs out there.  Fortunately we don't see them until someone has been in the ICU for weeks or they have an immune system problem

I had a girlfriend who's father was shot and killed back in the early 70s. He didn't die till some 6 weeks after the shooting. and he had even been sent home from the hospital.

A female neighbor had come to their house seeking protection from her husband. The husband fired a single .22 round through the door striking my girlfriend's dad in the abdomen. He  was taken to the hospital and had surgery and a week or so in the hospital before being sent home.

He seemed to be healing fine and even had a follow up appointment with the doc but after 6 weeks started to develop a fever. By the time they figured out he needed to go back to the hospital it was too late and he died in the hospital 3 days later.

JAZZHEAD! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW !?! (maybe that's why people shout at him he has trouble hearing) What's Jazzhead's story? He ignores substantive, direct, on-topic posts but responds to the peripheral, off-topic ones. Is he another self-adoring poster who thinks himself to be "above" having to substantiate his assertions to others? Weird. He doesn't seem to be all that well-informed either, nor very interesting, but has an ego of massive magnitude.

Maybe I tangled with him before and he put me on his "safe space" ignore list so he can avoid the sort of humiliating taking-to-the-woodshed that I sometimes deliver to posters when they let their typing fingers overload their rear ends. heh

Couple of things -

1.  Kindly provide a link to the post you want me to respond to.  I'm usually in the minority here, and so get multiple responses.  I can't answer directly each and every response if I don't have time to, or if my answer reasonably applies to multiple responses.   Don't know what's so special about you, or your post, that makes you so angry that I failed to notice and/or respond.   But give me a link, and please don't assume I think you're more special than anyone else.   

2.  I generally try to respond in good faith but reserve the right to decline, especially when the poster comes on like a classless jerk.   

3.  I've never put any member of this board - no, not even you - on ignore.

I'm arguing for the traditional role of communities to regulate the open carry of firearms in public places.  That's federalism, that's state sovereignty.   That's something that any conservative should support. 

But you DON'T when it comes to homosexual marriage and forcing people to cater to it, accept it and do business to promote it.

No one's attacking the Second Amendment.   The issue is federalism.   The RKBA is not a license for open carry.   It is up to the states to regulate such matters.

Yes, it is exactly that. By convention alone, that has been generally discouraged in areas where people exercise poor judgement: sporting matches, courthouses, taverns, political events...

But you can cite no case authority that agrees with you?   Over 200 years now and not one case that agrees with you?
The language of the amendment (for those who are fluent in English) has been plain and explicit enough there have been few tests at the SCOTUS, and some of those rulings are notoriously flawed.

Especially courthouses.  Some of the worst decisions in the history of history.

Hmmm- maybe he just bought his rifle in March when his neighbor called the police on him for shooting in a residential area. Lack of firearms training is my guess. I am happy his aim was so bad.

If the Daily Caller's sources are correct:  "The list of names included Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan and Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, TheDC has confirmed."

If the list "included" those names, does that mean there were more than three?

Pete...i could take your rant apart piece by piece and really the this thread off the rails like you desire...but I'm not going to go down your self created detour.

So BLUF...you're wrong...and you really need to drop this line of distraction.

Now get back on topic.

@txradioguy

Yeah,I'm wrong and you are right,so NOW is the perfect time for me to drop it and stop correcting you,right?

Jim Jordan was on the list............... our Congressman before redistricting, and a wonderful human being.  One of the good guys.

I'm sick.

The article included those below.

All in the House Freedom Caucus. Sounds like the Liberals aren't aiming at "Moderates".

The list of names included Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan and Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, TheDC has confirmed. Fox News reported after this story that Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, Tennessee Rep. Scott DesJarlais and Virginia Rep. Morgan Griffith are also on the list. All six congressmen are members of the House Freedom Caucus, which contains the lower chamber’s most conservative members.

This guy was planning to assassinate the most consistent conservative members in Congress.

My question is, was he acting alone, or are there others to finish off the rest of his hit list?

This is extremely, EXTREMELY disturbing.
