I don't know where else to put this in a place people would see it that I communicate with regularly, but... Yeah.
My uncle, Dennis, has gone into a coma. He had a fall a few days ago, apparently caused by an old ulcer in his throat that ruptured, and caused him to go into shock. He was ambulanced off to the local hospital where he lives, and he's had three operations for the internal bleeding. After the third one however... he's cone into a comatose state...
Now, my own health problems notwithstanding, but because of them I can't go visit him... I'm simply too weak to make that trip (He's in a different part of Victoria from me) and I do not know what else I can do...
Damn, sorry to hear that. I hope he gets better soon.

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
He should not be in a coma unless there was brain damage from blood loss (which results in cerebral hypoxia). Unless they artificially induced a coma. Do you know any details around the coma?
Better news, they took him off the breathing tube, and he's breathing ok on his own, so they are going to try and bring him out of the induced coma later tonight or tomorrow.

I hope he recovers, modern medicine today can perform miracles (My own sister survived an aneurysm, so I've seen first hand how good they can be.)

Oh, nice. So it is as I suspected: artificially induced coma. Which, in a case like this, is generally much better than the alternative.
This is very good news.
As you can see from this thread - despite how many of us, especially me, are asshats and jerks - we still set aside our petty bullshit and bring care and love with us. We are not all bad people...just passionate about our ideas and positions.
