Appendicitis Epidemic

[astra_nomer]

Two people at work here have come down with acute appendicitis within days of each other.

Coincidence? Or contagion?

If I get a tummy ache in the next week or so, I'm going to be awfully paranoid.

Conspiracy!

Well, it's well known that Republicans generally subsist on human organs. What with their being in power in your neck of the woods for so long, they're having to harvest in more creative ways...

So you get "appendicitis" delivered through either a microdart or mosquito-born nanovirus, and then you go to the hospital to be cured...

And get out feeling better but perhaps a bit peaked due to the fact that you now only have one kidney and are missing a chunk of liver.

Or maybe lucky. Maybe the second person would have had terrible complications if they hadn't thought "hmm, maybe this is appendicitis" and gone to the doctor sooner because of the first person.

Well, especially since the first guy's appendix ruptured before the doctors got to it. He'll still be recovering in the hospital over the weekend, whereas the second guy might be able to go home tonight.
