Terrible story. But I think it is BS.

I have waited a few days, hoping those facing a "proceedure" are under now, 
but if not, don't read this. 

I have a friend that was driving down the street one afternoon and felt as 
if he were having heart problems. As he drove past an area hospital, he 
pulled in for a check. They were alarmed to find that he was on the way to a 
massive and almost certainly fatal heart attack. It was determined that all 
arteries supplying blood to the heart were only capable of supplying fat and 
alcohol, a regular part of his diet. Multiple bypasses were performed. 

As he was returning to consciousness after, the staff was concerned by his 
impared speech. A neurological consult was called immediately. After what 
proved to be too little consideration, the neurologist determined that he 
was having a stroke, and large doses of coumiden were administered. He began 
to leak like a cheap garden hose. Blood was coming from everywhere, 
especially the various incisions. After some time and several tranfusions, 
it was determined that he was in no way having a stroke, but instead had 
been given too much morphine, hence the scrambled speech. He was to remain 
in the hospital one whole month. 

A musician friend commented that the hospital should have a staff jazz 
musician, who could have seen right away that "...the m-f-er is high!"
