New Rules:

OK; First, "How are you?" should never be asked of a person shitting in a bag, pissing through a tube, trapped in a plastic bed and hooked to a box that randomly beeps every 15 minutes.

If one should violate first new rule the questionee has a perfect right to say "crappy" "lousy" "pissed as hell" or some similar response.

Second: Asking questions for further details when met with a response of "We don't know" grants the questionee the right to ignore the questioner.

Third: Time frames are wierd, random and vague in the medical field.

Fourth; I am not responsible for any statements or or hysterical proclamations made while in Psycho Bitch Wife mode, (heretofore to be designated PBW).

Fifth: The third repetition of the same question in a single sitting grants to the Provider of the Guts and PBW the right to request questioner to entertain 12 and 14 year old child.

Sixth: "OK" while non-specific is a valid response.
