ABC TV has a lot to learn about a Brain Aneurysm.

"The Commander In Chief" aired on ABC TV last night (9-27-05). All in all, it's a pretty good program. The part they flubbed was the scene showing the president in the hospital after the secret assissin, that hides in all of us, a ruptured cerebral aneurysm, struck. Wrapping a large piece of gause around his head does no come close to showing just how miserable a victim of a hemorrhaged brain aneurysm is handled.

Where were these items?

• A drain tube sticking out of the head to drain off the excess blood from the ruptured brain aneurysm.
• The oxygen tubes so the victim can breath.
• The tubes stuck in a hole in the throat that the doctors cut open.
• Tubes of various sizes crammed in the arms and else where that desspense medications.

This is the scene that takes place during the 1st couple of days of what an actual victim goes through when an brain aneuryms ruptures. How do I know? Been there! Done it!

A NOTE: I thought the program was very good. They missed a minor detail and I guess that happens.

Mackenzie Watch: "Some thoughts on the Commander In Chief program."

Well I’m sure glad someone is keeping an eye on this lady, cause I think she stole the job. When I voted for Teddy Bridges, I sure never thought I was gonna get this woman as my Commander in Chief. Who would of thought a powerhouse like T.B. would die on us."
