May be the goofiest articles I've read in the past few weeks.
"This is a very aggressive patient," the medical notes say
Only when trying to get that PH chit run up the chain of command.
Intended to confuse the issue, I suppose. John Edwards' work?
Listen to this about the shrapnel wounds....

Hey if that rock had hit your eye, you would have been blinded.
self surgury is really dangerous. im thinkin another medal is in order.
"Kerry got his first Purple Heart after he got shrapnel in his left arm above his elbow. Doyle said if the shrapnel had hit Kerry in the eye, it could have blinded him. "
But it didn't hit him in the eye - it hit him in the left arm above his elbow. If my aunt had nuts, she'd be my uncle. So freakin' what?
Kerry also was wounded by a piece of shrapnel on Feb. 20, 1969, this time on his left thigh. Doctors decided to leave the shrapnel in place rather than make a wider opening to remove it. Doctors removed damaged tissue and the entry wound was closed with sutures, and no infection developed around the shrapnel, according to the records.
Ok, so how big is this piece of shrapnel, anyways? Not too big, if the entry wound was closed with sutures, and he didn't get assigned to limdu (limited duty) or bedrest.
"Two days after Kerry was treated for the rash, doctors noted that Kerry reported coughing and other symptoms and requested a chest X-ray. "This is a very aggressive patient," the medical notes say. Doyle said he couldn't know what that meant, but speculated Kerry might have insisted on getting the X-ray since he had pneumonia a few months earlier. "
Sounds like a hypochondriac. They're "agressive patients", too.
It appears that Dr. Doyle has read Unfit For Command. On page 36, then LT. William Schachte, now a Rear-Admiral, berated Kerry for almost putting someone's eye out. Schachte was on the skimmer when Kerry fired the M-79 grenade. Crew said there was no enemy fire, and his requestfor Purple Heart was denied by Commander Grant Hibbard.
BTW, was Kerry in Vietnam? I didn't know this. Why didn't he ever mention it? Oh, wait, I think I remember him saying something about Cambodia. Close enough :o)
Just release all of Senator Kerry's "original" records and spare us the translation.
And, by the way, anyone who has ever worked in a supermarket or any service industry knows exactly what"a very aggressive patient" means. There is always one customer who thinks that they know more than you do about your business or who just cannot wait on line with the riff-raff.
I'll bet most doctors and nurses will say that "agressive patient" code means he constantly demanded treatment and tests they didn't think were necessary.
That would be my guess. I've worked in healthcare 25 years.
Dr. Doyle didn't comment before he did comment.
Kerry is refusing to answer the Swift boaters except to say they have no right to question his duty in Vietnam. He says the President should stand up and call them down. What a coward....Kerry won't answer the truth these vets talk about, and is scared to death the ad they are running is beginning to be heard and seen. The press is finally talking about it. We cannot let this issue die because these men deserve to have their say. Kerry lies and emblishes the story everytime it is told.

This appears to be a different day than the rice-buttock/Rassman-water day.
What took place Feb 20? The Rassmann thing appears to be a month later.
WHAT 4 YEARS in the Navy? Clarify, please?
What is with democrats and grenades? Cleland blew himself up, Kerry got hit with his own shrapnel...maybe we should ask the political affiliations of all our recruits and not issue grenades to democrats.
Now, I've heard about troops fragging their officers. I've never before heard of an officer fragging himself. Kerry is an idiot.
And the article goes into tremendous detail about his respiratory system. Skips right over the 'urinary tract infection' On the off chance that someone can't figure it out...Kerry had an STD. And Nedra Pickler (Democrat operative operating under cover as an AP reporter) tried as hard as she could to not cover it.
I think the shrapnel may be in his brain. Who knows how it got there? Maybe when he was raping and killing women and children.
