In this show, we relate the recent injuries and hospitalization of our close friends and discuss the nature of hospitalization, things to watch out for–such as superbugs–and things to try to avoid, such as CT scans, physical exams, circumcision, C-sections, and antibiotics (unless your life depends on them, of course). In turn, your focus on optimal mental and physical functioning is key for a happy and long life–hopefully a greatly extended one! Getting the impediments of government out of the way will enable much more innovation and accountability in health care and medical research. Oh, and eggs–with yolks–are great to eat (don’t accept the cholesterol myth).

I was pretty healthy when I went to hospital and was putting away 3 bottles of Isosource daily (4500 cal.!) The nurses were aghast, but I was the only guy on the ward doing laps on the 7 flights of stairs.

I need to get a bigger rifle. All the hares I shoot on the property go to the dogs (they love ’em). But its a big ask for the 22 or the 12ga. to leave the farm. I’d like to bring home a deer once in my life. I do like venison.

I rely enjoy your podcasts. Thanks very much.

I kind of like hospitals. A very capable surgeon removed some very nasty madly reproducing cells from my head and a pantheon of lovely nurses got me through the recovery and then a very amazong team of girls at the linear accelerator put me through hell in the kindest of ways. And after five years, they kicked me out of the system… hooray.

Hospital food is probably the worst part of the visit… but there is somrthing even worse… not beiling allowed to eat it. You can get fed with a noso-gastric tube and watch others eat.

But years later, its home grown organic vegies every night (fuck those paleo wimps that are too scared to eat green beans and peas!) and home killed beef, our own free range eggs and sunshine when Huey doles it out.

I rather fancy a winter in Idaho, but I don’t know what she would think.

  You’re most welcome, Kem. You must have some fine hospitals in NZ. It’s great that you were given the best of care to deal with arguably the worst of ailments. Congratulations on post-five year recovery!
  
  Yeah, the grub there ain’t no picnic, that’s for sure. And I noticed that the non-chewable/digestible fare is no better…at least 250 grams of dextrose a day! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenteral_nutrition#Total_parenteral_nutrition
  
  Not sure about the long-term detrimental effects of consuming those particular legumes, but in the grand scheme of things, they sound like a tasty addition to your already great meal plan (our free range eggs here in Idaho are excellent–as are our elk and deer).
