If you still have the Black Ick, quit your belly aching and make a pathetic distress call. There's a happy ending. There's no "i" in team. With our powers combined we summoned Captain Planet. The day is saved. Is this a victory? I'm going to say no. Why? This wasn't a solution. Abstract problem solving, that's for sure. I'm not happy with it. I'm sure that's not going to stop everyone else involved from brushing their shoulders off. "Good hustle" comments and ass tapping.

For future curses, I suggest that Neilson have a bell or ribbon or something. Or you can, Wilson. That seems more your style.

Pizza is for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is living.

I haven't been home in way to many days. Vicodin supply is decent. Nurses are still in that hazy 5 to 7 on a ten scale. I think that in case of an emergency I'll be stashing some Penthouse magazines in my office. And a temperpedic pillow.

Whether or not this late night movie madness is a curse or someone else's booboo (wouldn't be the first time), it's interesting to see the stages of death in fast forward.
  • Pallor Mortis -> Instantaneous upon infection. At least that is what it looks like through a telescope. Dr. Peep. N. Tom, present.
  • Algor Mortis -> I wasn't able to get a hands on check for that. Didn't look like the infected had a sense of temperature. Or at least were smart enough to sport coats. How nice of them.
  • Rigor Mortis-> Got stiffed by the City.
  • Livor Mortis-> Brief, very brief by the looks of it. Then again, a cappilary study from my crowsnest wasn't happening.
  • Decomposition -> The last stop on the infection freak train. No CGI here.
Whatever this is or whatever we want to call it, Necroflu, cold death, zombiAIDs, it is too contagious to study under a microscope given the rate it spreads. I guess it is a breed of retrovirus-something that attacks RNA. Which leads me to an exciting point: when the infected or food run out, how long do we wait until all of this is considered 'passed.' We don't know where it came from. Do we know where it is going?

I want to go home just as much as everybody else does. I suggest an extended lock down. But only if window watching gets any better. This would have been a blockbuster. Until someone watched Jurassic Park. The mixed media interrupted the tone and flow of plot. I'll have to take my B rating down to a D for straight to DVD in the two dollar bin at Walmart.

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS

SYMPTOM(S): Uncontrollable Laughter
                          Chest Pain
                          Clumsiness
                          Which caused cranial bleeding.

POSSIBLE DIAGNOSIS:
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis--it explains the chest pains, clumsiness and the laughter. The curse is accelerating the effects the degeneration process of the disease, usually it's a lot more slow. Search for DNA abnormalities or any hereditary link.

Pseudobulbar palsy onset by a tumor in the high brain stem or motor neurone diseases that would cause the disorder int he brain stem and spinal column.

Dementia (scribbled in) by Kuru causes the laughter as well as the inability to cooperate. The laughter would be causing the chest pains all the way down to clumsiness if that's the case.

CJD-?

The first two are not entirely treatable. A sample of tricyclic antidepressants would rule out dementia.


[ooc; 
Curse or not, he'd want to diagnosis this. Since House is kind of an investigatory doctor, for nowit is just ruling out different diagnosiseses since tomorrow is OH SNAP THIS ISN'T NORMAL day. Any questions, comments or things I shouldn't be doing plz do AIM me. That's why God LJ made edits.]

Someone's altered my taste buds. This is either a curse or I'm having liver problems. So. We all taste like candy. Do the deities want us to all contract the flu? Better yet, how's about we spread something just wonderful around. Where's that big red idiot? This is his time to shine. Huh.

For those of you who don't get the yummy flavors and have one of the following you win a visit to the doctor's: Bitter, acidic, or Metallic tastes could possibly be jaundice--oh such fun! Maybe an abscess in your tooth, and someone needs to get the pus out because clearly you're not brushing well enough. Gastritis, if it is gastritis just go to the hospital. I've had enough ailing asses in this City. And last but not least liver damage.

Brush your teeth. Wash your hands. Don't lick each other. Think you can accomplish that? There's more active bacteria in your mouth than there are people on this planet. Have a little crowd control.

EDIT: Strictly for scientific purposes, what does gay taste like?

Mysterious coma case and you give it to who? The hospital.

Gee. Thanks. While you're at it, go ahead and give that plastic bag to junior. It makes a great toy. Mom you have a great one with that.

In the meantime, I'm bored. Let's pretend that this is a game show. And, I'm going to pretend that I'm watching the game show, Jeopardy. I'm going to keep up the great American tradition of playing along at home and "shouting" at the screen. Maybe that nose picking, magic using, college student can hear. Probably not. I may have more fun.

What is the GCS?

What was the last thing the patient ate?

Who took a look into her apartment?

What does the MRI show?

EDIT: Let's ask the audience. You are a sobbing loved one of a person in a coma. You want to get treatment for your sleeping beauty. Where do you go? Professional diagnostician or general hospital?

Are they just handing out degrees in medicine in every place but America? Jesus Christ.

She doctor. Ask her about the crystals.

He is a doctor est. 1874 give or take a few years not that it would matter. What a good year for crackerjacks.

Not going to touch this, the latest arrival with a white coat.

Private to Brocklehurst/Viewable to Styles;
