BC - Tue, 5/5/09

Wow, I'm STUNNED! That's TWO people at the hospital who refuse to give out information about patients to people who have no legal business knowing. Does that mean there is a glimmer of hope for HIPAA in PV? ... Nah.

Did you notice that Dr. Bender was paged to the MENTAL WARD? Does anyone call it that anymore? Yeah, WE can call it a loony bin or mental ward, but wouldn't hospitals have long ago started referring to them as Psychiatric Wards or just by code numbers, as far as paging goes?

I never thought I'd say this, but I agree with JAR AND David. At least as far as the heart valve goes. They haven't done ANY human trials and they're willing to stick it into a TODDLER? They should go with one of the other options and then, once the valve has been proven to be effective, THEN they can put it in him at a later date. Yes, they'll have to cut him open yet AGAIN, but that's less risky than putting an unproven, unTESTED PROTOTYPE into his little chest!

Something doesn't ring true to me about Frankie's situation. He's seriously injured and is being flown to Germany. Jesse and Angie would be on the FIRST plane to Germany to be there ASAP, not sitting by the phone wringing their hands. So would Randi, but I doubt she has a passport (but I'm sure Jesse would somehow be able to push that through VERY quickly).
