#1 Trying to think which variant of Law and Order this will show up on. I am interested in seeing just how far the records diverged from reality.

My thoughts exactly, Mike. I wonder if the threat of criminal charges is to get more cooperation from staff who have a tendency to clam up in cases like this.

#3 I forget what blog it was on, but yesterday I was reading a post about Famous Last Words. One commenter said his elderly aunt got sick and went to the emergency room. Five hours later she stood up, said, "Well if they think I'm going to hang around here any longer, they've got another think coming," and promptly dropped dead.

He said she had a stroke.

Wonder if anyone was charged in that case.

#4 Now that tobacco settlement money has dried up, expect more things like this from the legal industry.

#5 My not so famous (almost) last words were, "I need to see a doctor like I need another hole in my head!" Just before I lost consciousness due to stroke-induced rising ICP. After a slight coma for a bit, a couple weeks in ICU and a spiffy new VP shunt (a permanent drainage tube insterted into a HOLE drilled into my skull, I was fine. Well, I walk a bit funny now. :)

Seriously, thank God my better half called 911 after I could no longer protest.
