Anne Heche not expected to survive after fiery Mar Vista crash, spokesperson says

KTLA ^

Du hast recht!

[jmacusa]

I see the parade of the human condition in all it’s nobility, humor , tragedy and loss a hope and recovery every night in the ER and you know what?

I love the job. I don’t have any sympathy for drunks. I’m a recovering alcoholic and it’s only by the grace of God I didn’t do what Heche did. Or worse.

[jmacusa]

Humble thanks Madame. I just can't get that little child out of my mind. She couldn't be more than five or six years old. Such a sweet little angel. She didn't utter a sound or even cry as the doctors and nurses took blood from her and inserted tubes and every night I see stupid, selfish, drunken louts complain, scream at nurses, sometimes attack them and people are chastising me because some no talent Hollywood degenerate decides to kill herself and destroyed someones home in the process.

We’re definitely living in an upside-down world.

[jmacusa]

Very humble thanks Gene. G’night.

[Fury]

That’s not irony you used.

Figure it out and do better.

[RoosterRedux]

Thank you for your service in the ER. I can only imagine what you must go through and the cruelties you must see.

And if I misunderstood what you were saying, I am sorry.

My point though is that you, even as a former drinker (I am also), have no way of knowing what led to her getting behind the wheel. She surely shouldn't have, of course, but what drinker hasn't done exactly what she has done (i.e., getting behind the wheel when you shouldn't have)?

The bad thing here is that she crashed...and now she's paying for it.

What I think is wrong (and I have been guilty of it plenty of times) is a rush to judgment without knowing what was really going on. We just presume that she cavalierly got in the car, knowing full-well she was too drunk to drive, and feeling an entitled sense of privilege, sped off down the street not caring who she hurt.

The problem is that we just don't know that for a fact.

She's no better or worse than you or me. Except she crashed.

[jmacusa]

No worries Rooster. I flew off the handle a bit. I’m sorry. I just can’t get that little girl out of my mind, so young and so brave. The little thing didn’t cry or make a sound as the doctors and nurse worked on her.

As a recovering alcoholic I’ve nothing but ‘’tough love’’ and little patience with loud mouthed, selfish drunks. And that includes me, LOL!

Again Heche chose to do what she did. What happens now is between her and her Higher Power, if she has one.

Be well FRiend. And may the Lord have mercy on the soul of Ann Heche.

[jmacusa]

No, you don’t understand irony.

[RoosterRedux]

Back atcha!;-)

And keep up the good work! I know I couldn't do what you do. It takes a huge amount of courage.

[Fury]

LOL - whatever!

[R_Kangel]

"i was surprised they could harvest any organs..maybe the eyes????"

[Gene Eric]

Appreciated :)

[higgmeister]

You are actively improving and uplifting the human condition.   I'm glad you are there on the front lines of life.

[jmacusa]

Well... a very humble thank you sir. I mean that sincerely. Hey, I’m just a mop jockey in a hospital ER.

It’s the doctors and nurses who are the heroes but again, thank you for those kind words.

[jmacusa]

Ok fair enough . Sorry if I got testy. Meant no harm.

[jmacusa]

Humble thanks Rooster. Hey I’m just a mop jockey, that’s all but thank you for your kind words.
