Nov 2012

A few months ago, my partner was undergoing surgery. I went in to see him in the recovery room. While I was gone, a woman came into the surgical waiting room and asked that Fox be put on the TV. The friend who was staying with me, went up to the woman who was in charge of the room and complained, asking her to put it on CNN. She said she was glad he asked. She was just waiting for someone to complain.

He said to me "I knew that Fox is the last thing you'd want to see after coming out of the recovery room." He was right.
