The Arizona Massacre

Aside from her being a real miracle, these are interesting times we live in for medicine.  Uh, even though we have the "crappiest health care system in the world".  

Go Gabby!

Miraculous and fantastic!!

Not crappiest - just number 38.

Now, if it were only available to everyone else....

Even you, with your very high level, upper 99%er insurance would get nowhere near the care she has received.

It is incredible. A view into the future of modern medicine and the miracles it may produce using biosurgery compounds. Unfortunately, the FDA is dragging it's feet on approval of certain meds for trauma and severe injury. There are wound care products coming that don't require the FDA 3 phase testing to be utilized. I wonder what the doctors did for Gabe because it is wonderful.

Can't wait to read the book.

And we could have been about 8 years further along toward that vision without the interference of government in the medical research process...

Maybe he was.  I wonder if he did very many "Dirty Jobs" like a well known opera singer turned TV star and Ford products promoter.

Mike Rowe was an opera singer?

[Townsend]

Mike Rowe was an opera singer?

For a while.  He said he quit because he sucked.

Oh, I thought that was only guys who know a lot of Broadway show tunes.

Are you a great dancer too?

[Townsend]

Are you a great dancer too?

Like you don't know.

[Hoss]

Like you don't know.

Gentlemen, gentlemen..please...get a room!

[Townsend]

Gentlemen, gentlemen..please...get a room!

Sassy pants all be denyin'...like he don't know!

I really like Gabby and her spirit. Again, screw politics.

(Reuters) - Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords served a Thanksgiving meal on Thursday to Air Force personnel in her first constituent event since she was shot in the head in January, her office said.

Giffords dished out turkey with tongs as she stood between Brigadier General Jon Norman and her husband Mark Kelly, said Giffords' spokesman Mark Kimble.

The event at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base was expected to draw more than 400 people, mostly U.S. Air Force personnel, retired service members and their families.
