      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
