Imagine how that would have served a President Kerry internationally.

Hope she gets better soon!

7. Depending on what's going on, it sure as hell is.

I've worked in 2 Cape Cod hospitals and they did a great job with ordinary, garden variety problems. I also worked at MGH and their regular floors were like the ICUs in the Cape Cod hospitals, a giant step up in level of care and patient acuity.

They were able to stabilize her enough to survive the Medivac flight. It sounds like what she has is serious enough to warrant the risk of transfer.

I hope she overcomes this and gets well quickly. She is a fine lady.
