David Furnish: Fighting HIVAIDS must be top priority in rebuilding Haiti. "...the process of rebuilding Haiti is an opportunity - an
opportunity not only to rebuild homes, businesses, and hospitals, but
also to address the longstanding health and social challenges that have
resulted in still-too-high infection rates. Without confronting these
challenges, HIV/AIDS prevalence could increase to previous levels and
compromise all other rebuilding and recovery efforts."

Doctors communicate with man in coma by asking him to think of things: "They devised a technique to enable the man, now 29, to answer yes and no
to simple questions through the use of a hi-tech scanner, monitoring
his brain activity. To answer yes, he was told to think of playing tennis, a motor
activity. To answer no, he was told to think of wandering from room to
room in his home, visualising everything he would expect to see there,
creating activity in the part of the brain governing spatial awareness. His
doctors were amazed when the patient gave the correct answers to a
series of questions about his family."

Andy why give that skank Phelps or anyone else from her tribe any press? Please well all know what evil scum they are.

That Megan Phelps interview is interesting because we all just assume that once Fred Phelps kicks it, his batshit crazy insane church and its small flock will fold. Or at least shut the fuck up.
Apparently, that's not going to be the case. The next generation will carry on. And they are very proficient breeders... she's has 10 siblings!
The good news is she recognizes that no one outside the family will want her... so they have to fuck each other to spawn new haters. Eventually the level of mental retardation will reach a point where they can't tell if they're protesting a soldier's funeral or a box of crayons. It's like an X-Files episode.

Crayons. Another good one Crispy. I sometimes forget that not all know about these evil pricks. I've known about them for decades and know very well of how inbred and dangerous they are.
People who are not aware, they go from town to town, suing over arrests, which most towns settle just to get rid of them. That is a major income, the other funds can not be found. Sick group of people.

Sorry Tank, Janice, the loony singer chick from the Muppets house band is the best Sesame Street character!

It's funny how the Phelp's god hates exactly the same people they do. It must be their sockpuppet.

Why does ANYONE give that Phelps cunt attention? Or any of piles of shit? Don't fucking interview them. Don't take their pictures, just ignore them and let them fucking rot!

That prick announcer on CNBC has a real hard-on for Barney Frank doesn't he?

beware the phelps clan they are trying to soft pedal the image but are just as deadly as their father they are the perfect picture for a planned parent hood poster or just another red neck joke reguarding in breeding.

Andy keep posting the movements of the phelps clan because it is always better to keep an eye on your enemies

Does anyone else believe the story on the account of the coma patient to be chilling? If this data is true, then coma patients are nothing more than physically paralyzed victims who are somehow conscious and aware of their environment but can not physically interact with it. Frightening!

The coma article neglected to include the Glass standards for evaluating coma and injury to brain function. This is the European standard for rating recovery potential from brain injury. Improper coma diagnosis is extremely rare when using this standard. The article attempts to misrepresent the risks of improper medical treatment while in a coma and perhaps being accidentally terminated (ala Premature Burial with Vincent Price.) A more salient point would be to remind readers to the importance of legal DNR directives. Would you WANT to be held indefinitely in a vegetative state, and bankrupt your family who mistakenly hold hope that in a year or two or 10, that you will somehow just wake up? Would you WANT to have them agonize daily at a hospital holding false hope that you MIGHT recover completely, each day unknowing to you, they renew their suffering because they didn't have the legal opportunity to authorize life support removal?

JD has obviously never had a loved one in a coma. And certainly not one who recovered.
Funny how we are finding out all this useful information about people in comas AFTER Terry Schiavo's husband was allowed to kill her.
Posted by: Shane | Feb 5, 2010 8:07:32 AM
Shane, you are absolutely WRONG. My own sister experienced a heart attack, her oxygen deprived brain induced a coma last year. Family had to request removal of life support after several days of indecision and medical tests, which can be quite stressful for family members to witness being performed on a helpless body. You obviously have NEVER had to provide long term care for someone who was terminally ill, or watch someone die of cancer, as I have.
The public politicians who allowed the torture of Terry Schiavo and her husband for a PRIVATE medical condition were found to be ignorantly pushing a political agenda and cared not about the patient or health care. (Republicans still don't get it to this day.)
Your opinion is revealingly ignorant and smells of a witless right-wing-wacko odor. Now, go kneel, and hit your head with a cross.
