Not good.

Water tests confirmed Thursday that two units at Grady Memorial Hospital were the source of the bacteria that caused Legionnaires’ disease in four of the facility’s patients.

“We’re comfortable right now that it’s only the two units,” said Dr. Leon Haley, deputy senior vice president of medical affairs at Grady. Haley said it was the first time in Grady history that the downtown Atlanta hospital has been the source for Legionnaires’ disease in patients.

Nice.

Before I read this, I had such confidence in the medical community of Atlanta. Well, besides the fact that Emory requires med students to do abortions. How to murder prenatal humans 101. Other than that, everything looked ethical, immaculately clean, safe, etc.

Two units of what?

griftdrift February 12, 2009 at 11:32 pm

Probably A/C. That’s how it’s usually transmitted.

bowersville February 12, 2009 at 11:46 pm

unit/area for specialized care, the article mentions 80 beds, probably two 40 bed units.

griftdrift February 12, 2009 at 11:59 pm

Or that.

Jenny,

How to murder prenatal humans 101

You’re beginning to sound a LOT like the PETA people who run around talking about the “murder” of cows.

Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being. Abortions are legal.

Taft Republican February 13, 2009 at 12:36 pm

Bill, isn’t there a difference between lawful and legal?

Bill Simon February 13, 2009 at 1:01 pm

Lawful, legal, Smeagol.

Not really, Taft. “Lawful” means according to the law. Tell me where “legal” doesn’t mean the same thing?

(And don’t waste my time splitting hairs over Robert’s Rules of Order definitions.)

BTW…the original Ten Commandments states the law as “Thou shalt not murder.”

Leave it to the liberal King James and others to change that word to “kill.”

Taft Republican February 13, 2009 at 2:04 pm

Hmmm. OK, if abortion is the lawful killing of a human being… what exactly is the law which is being referred to?

Bill Simon February 13, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Dude, go help a homeless mother with 4 kids, okay? Quit spending your f*cking time whining and worrying about unborn/non-existent humans, and go help those who can actually use your help and “compassion.”

Icarus February 13, 2009 at 4:30 pm

The only thing he has to say to the mother with 4 kids is that her paper money is worthless, and all her problems would be solved if she would “just follow the constitution.”

::Icarus drinks::

You know, back to the constitution.

::Icarus drinks::

If only we could get lightning to strike the old clock tower at 1:21 am after the Enchantment Under The Sea dance to produce 1.21 gigawatts of electricity for the flux capacitor, we could get back to the constitution.

Taft Republican February 13, 2009 at 4:36 pm

I’m sorry, Bill. I thought we were having an honest discussion, and I was sincerely wondering what law was being referred to there. Didn’t mean to stumble over your tripwire. Have a nice day. :)

Taft Republican February 13, 2009 at 4:38 pm

And poor Icarus… the WSJ is ruining his day, first pushing a gold standard, now warning of hyperinflation…

As long as it is on his right side…

Taft.

Wall Street is no longer the center of the American Economy. The leading newspaper of American Finance is now the K Street Journal.

jenny February 13, 2009 at 10:55 pm

Bill,
I’m so proud of you for knowing King James was a liberal. He was also a sodomite.

jenny February 13, 2009 at 10:58 pm

Bill wants to criminalize prenatal murder.

Jenny takes another drink.

Bill demonstrates a vague awareness of intricate Biblical knowledge. Jenny lights up two cigarettes, passes one to Bill, takes a nice long drag on hers, blows the smoke primly in Bill’s face, and grins again.

Bill Simon February 13, 2009 at 11:49 pm

LOL!! Jenny, that white paper of yours isn’t going to write itself, you know. ;-)

jenny February 15, 2009 at 8:57 pm

Yes, but this is MUCH more fun, don’t you think?

Bill Simon February 16, 2009 at 9:31 am

Jenny,

What is a sodomite? ‘Cause, you know…”sodomy” has quite the extensive definition.

Taft Republican February 16, 2009 at 9:28 pm

Oh Lord, here come the graphical details. I think Bill just wants to see Jenny describe it, and imagine she’s whispering it all in a soft, low whisper…

Bill Simon February 16, 2009 at 11:32 pm

Taft,

I just want explanations from ALL of you self-proclaimed “conservatives” on the facts of how life SHOULD be in this country and on Earth.

Taft Republican February 21, 2009 at 1:35 pm

We’re trying, Bill. We’re trying.
