Ah, they’ll just open up the bar.

[3AngelaD]

I still have nightmares about that book.

[RachelFaith]

Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.

coughing up blood

That's so Non-carbon neutral ...

[advertising guy]

[Spktyr]

If only coughing up blood were a symptom of something as benign as TB....

[RachelFaith]

This makes me glad that I won’t be sitting down to lunch with Mr. Bush tomorrow.

Even if its that rogue strain of TB, I had heard from elsewhere that it takes over a year’s worth of testing/ wait time to absolutely rule out the presence of the pathogens in someone suspected to have been infected.

then started coughing up blood.

EEK! Perhaps she has a serious illness that's not contagious. (hoping)

Nice to see the CDC on it's toes after letting that guy with drug-resistant TB travel the globe. Now if only someone would investigate the quality of airline food...

Yes... I have a friend who had some kind of esophageal tear on a bus. A crowded bus. People were standing in the stairwells, and he yelled to the driver to take him to hospital (it was on way) - he started it and the poor woman under him managed to block it from her face.

This is a list off Medline:

Dr. House nearly kills you two times before he finds the answer! Yikes!

[the OlLine Rebel]

Coughing up, or throwing up (vomiting)? Big difference.

And if throwing up, it could be many things that aren’t threatening to others. Not good for her, albeit resolvable, but shouldn’t be too much contagious.

[crghill]

To the doctors...could this be a triple A?

[advertising guy]

I know someone who ate advil jell caps like candy and had to quit as his stomack started bleeding and he spit it out
