1. 1) Prognosis is good; 2) they are reviewing the "transparency procedures"

for future cases.

2. One of his docs names is

Dr. Chestnut. That is all.

8. I once had a urologist named Dr. Sacks.

Perhaps the names predetermine the specialty.

10. I know an Electrical Engineer who's last name is Sparks.

4. Sounds like he had a prostate exorcism.

IOWs radical prostatectomy or, removal of the organ.

When I had mine, years ago, in surgery if they found any evidence the cancer had spread beyond the walls of the prostate, they would simply leave it in place and refer the patient for later radiation therapy. Since he is still in hospital, it looks like the prostatectomy did take place and the prognosis is therefore very favourable.

7. It is a shame he felt compelled to disclose his underlying condition.

What matters was the secondary admission, and whether the policy required to - and whether he was capable of - notifying people in his chain of command. That could have been addressed without disclosing anything about his private medical conditions.

9. Will this satisfy

the disgusting vultures demanding "transparency," or will they now pivot to some other demand?
