Who wants an infected catheter!
Because in New York, they’re just givin’ them away!
My wife’s cousin in NY has been in and out of the hospital with diverticulitis and had a chunk of himself removed, only to find out that the complications that followed surgery were actually from an infected catheter.
Meanwhile, Paraneoplastic Buddy’s boyfriend, also in NY, wrote on Facebook that he “is kvelling, because S. is coming home Friday afternoon after successful surgery this morning to remove the infected catheter.”
Meanwhile-meanwhile, coworker Dan is apparently headed for surgery for appendicitis after thinking for days he had the stomach flu.
On the plus side, Katie and Joe have (this time 100% officially) given birth to beautiful though lumpy AS-YET-STILL-UNNAMED baby boy. Good job, Katie!
