#1 Surgeons fought for hours to save Castro's life

I was hoping for a ", but..." clause.

#3 "Unable to stem intestinal bleeding with drugs, the country's top surgeons performed an emergency operation on the veteran leader."

What they tried was an asshole transplant But the asshole rejected him.

#4 Even though he is in good health for a guy his age, he's still eighty with a history of smoking. His odds of living a month are less than fifty per cent. I don't even have to know what they operated on. If it was a gimme, like an appendectomy, they would have announced it.

#7 Doctors at the exclusive Cimeq hospital in western Havana are accustomed to handling the delicate health problems of Cuba's communist elite.

Everybody's equal in the Workers Paradise. Some more then others. Right, El Jefe?

#10 I am sure all the while they were "fighting to save Castro" for hours, he was dead as a door nail.

They were just trying to save their own hides by saying, "we tried for hours", to brother Raul and family. He probably has third degree burns from the defibulator pads all over his chest AND ass.
