Tuesday I had a friend survive a massive heart attack. They did a triple bypass on him and saved his life. That's great. I had a quadruple bypass five years ago. But the interesting thing is what happened when they tried to take out his respirator tube.
He fought the doctors like the devil. They woke him up and tried to remove the breathing tube, but he fought them like a wild man, broke his restraints and kicked out the back of the bed. Suitably freaked, the doctors put him under again and tried the next day, with the same results. Yesterday they finally succeeded. He evidently wasn't aware of what he was doing. He's OK now.
My friend is a right wing paranoid conspiracy nut. He's a "birther", anti-global warming, Obama- is- a- socialist kind of guy. His daughter thinks he may have been hallucinating that he was being abducted by aliens and being probed in a spaceship. Now, I don't know if that's what really happened; I hallucinated a bit, too, after my operation, but that was entirely due to the Ambien they were giving me to make me sleep.
So this is what happens when you wander off the reservation, when you cross the border without a passport, in your every day conscious life. This is what subconsiously structured right wing paranoia does to you. So my advice to y'all out there is to studiously avoid any David Icke, Sarah Palin or Glen Beck before having a bypass operation. It's just bad for your health.
