Off topic, but can anyone explain why a 91 yo with e-coli and septicemia wasn’t in the hospital?

Home hospice?

The abandonment of virtue is not liberation. It is slavery to sin. Hefner was a slave to his sins, wallowing in them like a pig in filth and urging his followers to do likewise.

Perhaps. Home treatment for e-coli seems reasonable. But once septicemia developed, one would think hospitalization was warranted.

Found this on WedMD:

‘If you do have sepsis, your doctor will likely place you in the hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU). There, he’ll try to stop the infection, keep vital organs functioning, and regulate your blood pressure (IV fluids and extra oxygen can help with this).’

You understand the ‘hospice’ means letting nature take its course with the exception of easing pain and anxiety? A person does not receive ‘treatment’.

Hypothetical anyway. Just suggesting a possibility.

Back in 1962, there was no VD in our area. I heard older men brag about picking up some gal at Oklahoma and Kansas bars for fun and games.
That all changed after the Playboy Philosophy and sexual revolution hit! Fifteen years later everyone I know who picked up some skank at an Oklahoma bar always ended up with clap or crabs.

No, I didn’t understand that. So if a person gets very sick and just wants to die, they stay at home and call it hospice. A nurse comes around with the pain pill, but that’s it.

I just learned something.

Back around 2005 in Springfield MO the school nurse told me that elementary kids were getting STDs because they heard that not having intercourse was not having sex.

“Back around 2005 in Springfield MO the school nurse told me that elementary kids were getting STDs because they heard that not having intercourse was not having sex.”

The legacy of the Defense of BJ Clinton, too “great” to fail.

A third? I'm dubious. But, this is a persuasion technique. Make an outrageous claim. That forces the audience to spend time justifying your very point

It does sound a lot like a projection from a faulty, non-random sample. I don't doubt that it might be a nationwide epidemic but not at that level of infection.

Yup. And all they have to do is hear someone talking about it and the rumors roll.

Followers? It is said, the devil doesn’t MAKE Man do *anything*, he can only whisper in ones ear.

Others chose to wallow along, the other voices weren’t convincing or loud enough to be heeded.

Of course, whether or not one gets an STD after “picking up a skank,” one will still reap dire consequences for such sin.
