9. If it had been me...

....it would have been followed with a what the fuck is wrong with you, turning that shit on in my presence. Along with a directive to get the fuck out of my hospital room.

12. Actually, something similar happened to me.

About 12 years ago I had a heart attack and was in the hospital but stable and waiting to be sent to another hospital so they could roto router me and place some stents in ( I eventually had five). Some friends came to visit and one of them put the TV on. Fox news inadvertently came on with Bay Buchanan babbling. I should mention I particularly loathe the Buchanans. Within two minutes two nurses came in in a rush. My heart rate had suddenly spiked and they thought I was having another heart attack.

13. A friend of mine had a heart attack and was in a coma.

ICU nurses had turned the tv on to Fox News. When his son walked into the the room he went crackers, loudly demanded to know if they were trying to kill his father. That never happened again!

14. XXX Political Porn

Potentially dangerous in an ICU setting and not conducive to patient recovery in any setting. Yes indeed, the "help" would need to be informed of this.

15. When my husband was in the same ICU (Miami Baptist),

I asked the nurses to please not put tv on Fox News. They laughed as though they had heard that request before and followed my instructions.

16. I very literally will not allow this yawning chasm of evil into my house.

It is not even allowed to be part of my cable package, so I don't even have to set parental* controls.


*My son is 37, and needs no supervision. I haven't worried or even thought about his political leanings for well over 2 decades. Since never, really.

17. Hi BobTheSubgenius

You wouldn't allow Intox-Faux News to save your life ???

More seriously, I'm glad I live in a country where Fox News isn't allowed at all !

They will never get an authorization, since they don't meet the standards set. I think, it is the case in all EU countries.

18. Last night, a deejay saved my life

I'm sorry, but every time I read the title of your OP, that comes to mind.

19. Hi EffieBlack

Don't be. It makes a lot of sense.

Music helps a lot to stay (almost) sane. Well, at least, it helps me.
