This has to be so frustrating for the patients, their families and the doctors as well.
How fascinating and yet how frustrating for the specialists as they try to discover the reasons for such maladies. I'm impressed with their tenacity to work day and night to find results.
Too sad for words
This is like an episode of House.
It is hard to watch Kylie. You can see her struggling.
The human body is always a mystery no matter how much research has been done on it
Emily, I was wondering that too. That Undiagnosed Disease Center is fascinating, but it's sad right now they can except so few patients. 🙁
Good evening all!
Dr Gupta,
Did doctors rule out drugs and or vaccines that might have been used and or administered to these two patients by or to their parents before either were born?
I pray UDP can help both of them and quick. Could not believe the muscles in Sally's brain is growing as well.
How many "new" diseases are found/discovered every year?
It broke my heart to see the video of the mother in the bank as she withdrew the $15,000. She was so trusting that everything would be alright once the crooks got the money. Crooks can't be trusted.
The craziest thing would be for voters to bring republicans back to power in either house or senate. Are we that amnesic?
The doctor detective reports have been fascinating–I hope they are able to find the causes–and a cure– for the small girl and woman involved.
No matter what laws Congress makes big corporations will find a way to get around them.
Denny, that's what I was wondering. Why they couldn't have had unmarked squad cars following her home. I'm sure they wish they had handled it differently now. The bank teller did a good job!
This story makes me sick too.
@Libby,
or that the police had knocked on their door when they went to the house instead of watching the outside activity alone...
Insurance companys have no eithics,.....i can't believe that they can now deny childrens' ins. policies to avoid the new law.
They can still make profits, not as high as before, but theywould still make profits.
I don't understand why the police didn't escort the lady from the bank to her house. I don't think it would have ended it such a horrific nightmare if they would have done that.
How could that egg producer not know the risk of people getting sick when he let his coops be run they way he did?
I feel for the jurors who have to hear all of the details of this crime. Why would any lawyer want to give these two morons a deal after what they did? What are those two guys on?
Don't taser me, bro!!! I love that show Miami Vice!!!!!
He probably doesn't eat the eggs.
What a horrific crime. I'm glad the prosecutor wouldn't consider any kind of a deal.
I can't imagine the torture this husband/father is going through in court each day ,,,having to listen to the horrific details of this crime all over again. This is so sad.
I can't even imagine such agony. What a horrible crime.
So they had to commit other heinous crimes to just get money? Obviously, they didn't think that through very well. They could have taken the money from the parking lot at the bank and left. Why did they go back to the house? Thinking there was more money there. Most people don't keep tons of money at their homes. Disgusting...
I just wish the police would have followed that woman home from the bank. 🙁
I can't wait to hear what the punishment is going to be!
This crime is just awful... 🙁
no wonder that family member had to leave the courtroom.
15,000 dollars is not worth it. Keep your doors locked.
I think if anyone was faced with what that family was faced with, anyone would be willing to get that type of money to save their family's lives
Re the home invasion: Terrible!!!
Desparate for money??!!
So why defile the wife and one daughter and kill them and the remaining daughter??
This story is horrific! Makes me sick!
15,000 is very expensive I have heard!!!! That is so outrage 2 men are idiot to robbery Jennifer get their money!!!!!
@Jo Ann, yes I agree. There are some good Republican candidates out there but Sarah Palin and the Tea partiers won't back them. This is damaging the Republican Party in so many ways.
The Tea Party are largely selecting fiscal conservatives, not radicals. Unless you consider small government and low taxes radical.
This is so heart breaking...what this family went through, and looking at this woman in the bank...
@Emily-'@Heather & Starr,
In this information age, it really is surprising to me that people get elected (& re-elected) w/a lack of "ethics". There must be many people that do not pay attention to politics.'
I agree and from the looks and evidence, it's true
@Lisa in Louisville, "Do they mean Daddy goes to work, Mommy stays home, and their 2.3 children are blue-eyed, blond haired dolls?"
I don't think everyone would consider that family values. I think it means different things to differnt people. In my opinion, people who cheat on their spouses or on their taxes do not fit my definition of family values.
I think people are clearly showing their disappointment in our Government period.
It seems like Sarah Palin and people like C. O'Donnell are trying to claim fame by leading a group of people/tea party who like most Americans see our country going in the wrong direction.
@JoAnn, OH
Your post was well said.
The Tea Party, for the most part are choosing radical candidates and "monderates", who are badly needed in the Congress are getting chased out of the Rep. party.
I believe that there are many Republicans who want well qualified candidates in this election.
@Heather & Starr,
In this information age, it really is surprising to me that people get elected (& re-elected) w/a lack of "ethics". There must be many people that do not pay attention to politics.
Businesses are holding their cash and refusing to hire just because they want the government to fail. They want voters to get mad at Obama and they are already orchestrating for 2008. These are the people who were surprised that he won the election and started hate from day one.
We don't need more of the Bush years.
Again, I agree. I actually liked the guy that she replaced. It seems there is no place for moderates these days. But what the politicians don't realize is that the majority of Americans are somewhere in the middle.
I'm so impressed with Mr. Spitzer today 🙂
@Emily, "The fact that she won is still stunning."
"Stunning" is an understatement.
Kate Zerneke just said, "it's what Tea Partiers want, it's what Americans want." Not all Americans are Tea Partiers nor do we want to go back 50 years – "family values?" Do they mean Daddy goes to work, Mommy stays home, and their 2.3 children are blue-eyed, blond haired dolls?
I agree with Sptzer. The Bush tax cuts hurt us more than helped us and that is why we are in what we are in now
Kaylee, " All of the media attention just makes the tea partiers want her even more."
There are good Republican candidates out there, but the Tea Partiers have been backing the wrong candidates. Extremists on either side will never win because they need the Independent vote.
You would think both sides would have learned that by now.
