Feeding tube frenzy

First Terri Schiavo, then the Pope. CNN must be drooling. Dr.Sanjay Gupta, the doctor who always gets called on CNN, for any health related issue will finally get to become an expert on this topic. My theory is that he got picked out of med college in his first year and was trained in media relations. So don't think he ever got a chance to practice medicine.
I am sure Terri has done more to influence people by being in the state she is, than she could have ever dreamt of. Henceforth spouses will be careful when watching TV shows. Imagine, you are watching "Everybody loves Raymond" and are infuriated by the mother-in-law. Now be careful before saying things (even in jest) like "I would kill my MIL if she did something like that". Next thing you know, you could be serving time for something you never did.
It is now fashionable to possess a living will (Pull the plug ASAP) though I wonder how it works. What if the plug puller is also in a similar state, then do you have a list of nominees ?
Aww..get over it. Worry about earthquakes instead. However if you can't get enough of it, check Terri's blog . Now how is that possible ? Kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi .

One thing for sure- this is one country where people like excersising there debating skills.
Another thing- they don't believe in miracles !!
Last thing- not a single person really cares, like CARE..except probably terri's mother, thats why we dont hear about much about her.

*arrgh* The bad grammar (not to mention the naivete) in the previous post is just bugging me for some reason. Anyhow, on to what info about Dr.Gupta...

"Dr. Sanjay Gupta is senior medical correspondent for the health and medical unit at CNN. Gupta, a practicing neurosurgeon and an assistant professor of neurosurgery ... Gupta has been published in a variety of scientific journals"

Just Google it. I know, I know -- you don't have the time. That is why I did it for you.
