Rep. Giffords speaks for first time since shooting
“
Prayers for the continued recovery for the good lady.
While I don’t even “play a doctor on TV”, I do think the MDs should
have been more restrained on Giffords’ pace of recovery. I fear people
think she’ll be back debating on the floor of the House very soon.
If she ever does stage such a magnificent recovery, I will stand and applaud.
But I admit I’m am a born skeptic-in-the-heart.
Here’s hoping I’m proved wrong in a major way.
Maybe she’ll make a comeback like the soldier in the closing (IIRC)
episode of “Band of Brothers” that got a head wound from a drunken soldier
after killing a Brit and other soldier(s).
Seeing Spiers (sp?) push a German neurosurgeon to treat and save the soldier
is a lesson in how to save a comrade. Sometimes you’ve got to seriously
compel a physician.
And you might need to use a 1911 .45 caliber pistol to compel the doctor a bit.
