larkspur - And I know my doctor is extraordinarily cautious, so I expect that means she'd be really careful in surgery, too.
Larkspur...jolly. And I'll try not to keep that in mind when I go under the knife for surgery in the next week or so... *sigh* Oh well, at least my papers are in order. (It shouldn't be a huge deal, it's for ovarian cysts, and I had a similar surgery about 30 years ago.)
Jakob/Lori - I meant to say,
"Until I read Jim's piece on shock, I didn't understand..."
Oh well.
Maybe being fat can be an advantage for giving blood - higher blood volume, maybe? I've gotten dizzy after giving blood, but never anxious and I never passed out.
For that matter, I've never passed out at all from anything.
I didn't really understand the point about not giving an accident victim water. When Leslie's car was totaled in January, she had bumps and bruises (and, it turned out, a broken wrist), but was kept on a back board for over two hours and not allowed to drink anything. That puzzled me - the ER was pretty sure she wasn't seriously hurt (they left her alone for a long time), but still wouldn't give her a bottle of water?
