Oblig.

Pointy Tail of Satan: Undercover Brother was right. Anything with Mayo on it sucks.


You can just go to Hellmann's® for that remark.

Bucky Katt: should have used Fed Ex.

Naw. It woulda gotten bruised when the delivery guy chucked it 54 miles to Jacksonville.

I know I'm a horrible person, but that headline made milk squirt from my nose it was so damn funny.

/Window seat, please.

This is a terrible loss for the recipient patient and family, the donor patient and family, the transplant team and their families, the Mayo Clinic and its staff, the hospital where the donor lay dying, and all concerned. I am so, so sad for all of them. May the Force be with them all.

I'm guessing that after a helicopter crash their organs might be a little worse for wear. Quite sad though.

Anyone else read site as being a website? I thought for a second they were making a craigslist for organs or something.

Say, I'm about 12 miles northeast of Palatka. Didn't hear anything about it. Been inside watching Storage Wars all day.
All day.

Grables'Daughter: Am I the only one that wonders what happened to the patient waiting for the organ?

Everything turned out fine for your mother.

Holy cripes... I thought I clicked on the emissions reduction thread. I was terribly confused as to what was going on.

"If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a
helicopter -- and therefore, unsafe."

A man needing a heart transplant is told by his doctor that the only heart available is that of a sheep. The man finally agrees and the doctor transplants the sheep heart into the man. A few days after the operation, the man comes in for a checkup. The doctor asks him "How are you feeling?" The man replies "Not BAAAAD!"

Budum Bing!

Are you suggesting this situation may be mistaken for irony?

sno man: and the lesson here is don't do speed, kids.

That's fine; I'd rather do Jugs, anyway.

Coming for your liver.

But I'm still using it.

Terrible story. Doctors and pilots killed on the flight deserve a hero tag. Transplant sugery is the hardest and most dangerous job in medicine.

Aside from having terrible hours (90+ hours a week. Of uncommon for senior surgeons), many doctors are exposed to the disease their patients have through needle sticks(hep c). By neccessity these guys have to ride in small helicopters and planes in non ideal weather conditions to procure life saving organs. All of this risk is assumed voluntarily by people who could have other cush jobs, who put it all on the line for the sickest patients on earth

Any way my hats off to these heroes

Damn auto correct for garbling my sentences...

Operator: [Captain Oveur is on the phone with the Mayo Clinic] Excuse me, Captain Oveur, but I have an emergency call on line five from a Mr. Hamm.
Captain Oveur: Alright, give me a Hamm on five, hold the Mayo.

/you people are slow

Helicopter EMS is way overused and remarkably unsafe relative to fixed wing or ground transport.

Yes, I know, time is a factor. But in many cases, a fixed wing can be brought in locally to do the same trip.

In any event, R.I.P.


/former air ambulance

So super sad.

Go, Mayo, go...

So sad yo's

Go, Mayo, go, yo squared.

;(

P.S. Yo, Mayo, you go, no? Yo cubed.

Just FYI, I live near this. The heart was not picked up, and no other timely method of transport was available, so the patient is now waiting for another heart. Very sad story.
