Popular Post mca Posted November 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2014 If the docs in AC get the biowaste bag mixed up with the one full of empty Mama pots I certainly hope I never have one of them attempting to take my tonsils out. I'd most probably have to piss sitting down from that day forth... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapout Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Another brillent, pull from your arse, statement which shows how much pure unadultirated stupidity can be exhibited by some members of the BIB. Today some of the BIB stupids seem to be on news release duty. Edited November 21, 2014 by slapout 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wow64 Posted November 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2014 Would not be happy if I was the patient. He already has 1 foot in the grave and having to deal with this. The hospital should be held accountable for this and stop dragging their feet, shake a leg and apologize to this patient. I bet if the shoe was on the other foot they would not be laughing.. or maybe they would be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infected with diabetes? But you know, that you are reading NEWS in English in a country in which English is not the native language and from sources who usually have English also not as their first language. So, why splitting hairs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brimacthai Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Not sure if anyone else noticed this or not... it looks like the ripped the leg off... not a very "surgical looking" removal. I hope the other end still attaching to the person is in better condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
