Thomas Jefferson Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 An Alabama neurosurgeon was at Brookwood Medical Center when he was needed six miles away for emergency brain surgery at Trinity Medical Center. Dr. Zenko Hrynkiw set off in his car but a rare snowstorm locked down traffic and he didn’t get farther than a few blocks. Dressed in his hospital scrubs, the 62-year-old got out of his car and walked the rest of the trip in freezing temperatures. “He had a 90 percent chance of death,” Hrynkiw said of the patient who had gone unconscious. Hrynkim said that if the patient did not have surgery he would have died, “and that’s not going to happen on my shift.” Hrynkiw, Trinity’s only brain surgeon told reporters that the trip “really wasn’t that big of a deal,” according to AL.com.

NeverAgain Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Should of phoned for a police escort, if it was truly freezing temperatures he could've become an emergency case himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Trumps Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 One thread today started with a story from the Daily Mail and now another from Fox News. Impressive.

manxy Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 One thread today started with a story from the Daily Mail and now another from Fox News. Impressive. I started a thread using the Mail because that was the one I saw on the internet. But if they are not to your liking, which newspapers would you like me to use next time?

Some worthless socialist rag like the Daily Mirror is no doubt more to his liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jefferson Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 The only credible news source there is Reuters. The rest will be getting most of their news from Reuters and the Associated Press and then just regurgitating it with a sprinkling of their own ideological bias.

The Border Terrier Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The only credible news source there is Reuters. Al Jazeera have long since usurped the BBC for impartial/objective/non-political(ish) reporting...just thought I'd mention it! TBT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jefferson Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 At this point, anyone who thinks the mainstream media isn't completely controlled by the intelligence services is living up on cloud cuckoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jefferson Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Anyone who thinks the intelligence services are anywhere near good enough to be capable of doing that is living right next door. Anyone who thinks the above obviously has never read about Operation Mockingbird or read Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media.

ScotsAlan Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The Daily Mirror has Andy Capp, which immediately makes it superior to the Mail. I no longer purchase newspapers except, for an occasional indulgence, the Independent. My primary sources for news on the web are usually the BBC and Al Jazeera plus, of course, the Guardian, Independent, Telegraph and Reuters. That's a well balanced window. I would add China Daily. And also KCNA. A wide open mind is a wonderful thing to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
