      By the way, look at that horribly mangled, blown-off and then reconstructed ear following the assassination attempt. Why, that bandage he wore for a few days must’ve been truly miraculous. Amazing /s

        I honestly can’t tell what’s satire with him anymore so forgive me if this was a joke, but I saw a quote where he said he takes like 3,000mg of tylenol daily, against his doctor’s advice, to keep his blood thin because “who would want thick blood?”

        Oh, I was thinking shingles. Which I understand to be incredibly uncomfortable (not sure about a staph infection though it still isn’t pleasant)

          Both conditions are unpleasant, but I had a stronger gut instinct towards staph. It’s possible he has shingles because I suspect he never received the vaccine, and his condition is likely not being adequately cared for.

          He’s probably receiving the same level of treatment as someone on their deathbed, dragged out for press coverage. Your family has to genuinely care about you.

        Very likely, but how messed up do you have to be for it to be attacking your neck that hard, while under the best medical care in the country?

        Must be that bullshit-resistant strain, to have been able to grow so close to his talking hole

          Man if some kind of outbreak happens because they can’t let him die it would fit his legacy

      Looks like they graduated from hand IVs to neck…

      Which would be horrible news for virtually any patient, but in this case I feel most wouldn’t have the same reaction

        Why are neck IVs worse than hand IVs? Does that implied a ruptured vein in your arm? I have never heard of anyone getting a neck IV but I’m also not in the medical field

          Not in the medical field, but I think you got it right. I saw similar with my grandma, the nurses started injections with less visible areas - arms, legs, later moved to feet and finally hands as her veins collapsed. She didn’t make it to the neck, but I have to think it’s a sign they are running out of places to poke
