#3 "It sounds like they tried to spare him the colostomy, which would have been the safer and more conservative approach...

He said the use of a prosthesis in such cases was "experimental" at best and unheard of in the United States.

I'm guessing Fidel had "issues" with the idea of the colostomy, and insisted the doctors try something else.

I'll be the first to mix up a pitcher of mojitos...

No, no! Cuba libres!

#6 In Total Parenteral Nutrition, infected IV catheters, unbalanced fluid & electrolytes, unbalanced nutrition, leaving a key nutrient out, can kill in so many different ways.

#11 Mojitos, cuba libres, and daiquiris.....gonna be a hell of a party when The Bearded One dies!

I'm just wondering if some of what he's enjoying suffering isn't deliberate, though. There seem to be too many screw ups. One of the docs getting revenge for a family member, perhaps?

#16 Lol, and here we have more news of "cubans being worried about the well-being of el commandate", or the "secrecy about the health of the great men of the world". He's toast, he has been since the first incident, he's only taking his time to rot away from gut cancer. Goodbye, fidel, you'll leave many an hollyweird lefty orphelin when you go... thanks karl marx God the Forces of Progress everywhere have hugo to replace you.

#20 U.S. medical experts were also puzzled by El Pais' report that Castro had undergone a third operation to implant a Korean-made prosthesis, possibly an artificial stretch of bowel, after a second failed operation to clean and drain an infected area and perform a colostomy.

Some of the lesser known exports. I guess there is more coming from Korea than Hyundais, and Computer screens...

#21 Patent on the Prosthetic Bowel
Posted by BigEd 2007-01-17 15:02||   2007-01-17 15:02|| Front Page Top

#22 BigEd: ...The flexible inner member is located within the outer member and the expandable member or members are located between the inner member and the outer support structure. The expandable members are expanded and contracted, or inflated and deflated to provide a pumping action that pumps the material through the organ. The prosthesis may also include valves or sphincters at the entrance and/or exit points of the organ where material moves into and out of the prosthesis. An implantable pump unit may be included for inflating and deflating the expandable members according to a desired sequence.....

B'waaaaaaaa lol! ;-)

#26 You know how the left keeps touting Cuba's superiority to the U.S. because even though they have concentration camps, they have, like, a better health care system, m-a-a-a-a-a-a-n?

Heard much from those folks on this subject lately?

Right.
