Yes, I understand what they are and finding the cause is some times right out of an episode of “House.”

But I read the original post as someone “injecting” the cytokines into the President to induce the storm.

The amount of tracking that goes on in a hospital is incredible (thats how you get billed!). No one is “injecting” anything into the President that hasn’t been checked four or five times.

And yes, my wife is in Surgery right now. She has been since 1:30 this afternoon. Due to the complexity of the process they are on their third surgeon and third team of nurses and techs. I was just joking with my kids that the bill for this day alone is going to be in volumes, not pages.

I understand the concepts of teams...all too well. I am in a waiting area, alone, talking on the phone to a doctor I never met, and he is on speaker phone so that the nurses in the room can confirm and attest to the changes to the process.

Sometimes people have no idea what it is like to have someone moving through the hospital system these days.

A lot of people think what they see on tv is real. Hospitals are quite different in real life.

Best of luck on your wifes surgery. I have been in your spot many times and it makes for a long day of worrying and wondering.
