I think if she was actually dead they'd be steering towards an announcement with "oh no seriously ill" kind of thing so I'm on the she's either on a life glug or took such a punch to the face the plastic surgeons are still wrestling with it side.

Reveilled posted:One possibility I don't think has been brought up in the thread would be some medical problem that required an organ transplant. That could knock you out for quite a while, and if Kate was jumped to the front of the organ donation queue on account of her royalty could be a massive scandal if discovered. I don't know poo poo about organ transplants but I've seen it mentioned that one of the common medications you get prescribed following it has swelling in the face as a side effect which might explain her odd appearance in that one picture. But i am pretty much just talking out of my rear end here, so, I dunno, I reckon there'd be plenty of royal stans lining up to donate a bit of themselves lawd luvver.

Jedit posted:On the subject of plastic surgery: I have been thinking that it's possible Kate has had to have an Angelina Jolie Special - preventative hysterectomy and double mastectomy - and doesn't want to be seen because her breast reconstruction isn't finished properly yet. Yeah, that's a more innocent but still possible reason.

MeinPanzer posted:All joking aside, my money's on Kate having Crohn's or a similar chronic gastrointestinal condition. Spoke to a GP friend recently and she said that there are only so many conditions that fit the timeline and details about Kate's hospitalisation and that's one of them. Plus Will just appointed a guy who's a trustee of Crohn's & Colitis UK as the Kensington Palace private secretary: Speaking as someone who's been seen in public with an ileostomy bag for the past 4 decades, even the most dedicated pap is going to have trouble getting that snap.

Can't we just stick to mocking the twat over his stance on ADHD meds and ownership of kids?

Mega Comrade posted:I used to always think of terraced housing in cities as cramped because the ones I saw in reading always were. Visited my friend who has one in Bristol. Things massive, 3 floors, all the rooms large doubles, 3 toilets. I have a teeny tiny 2-up 2-down in a terrace built in 1904 and my walls are thick enough to keep like 99% of neighbour noise out. It'd be cramped for anyone more than a couple these days, I guess, but it suits me and cats and books just fine.

Z the IVth posted:NGL being rushed off in the middle of the night for emergency abdominal surgery for cancer and taking 3 months to recover sounds like exceptionally bad news. Even more so when you consider how young she is. Yeah. Unless she got rushed in for something else, conspiracy fans, and the cancer showed up on scans. But bowel cancer, for example, could have caused an intestinal blockage, which would need an ambulance and emergency surgery. Yowch. gently caress cancer.

Residency Evil posted:An ovarian cyst wouldn't get chemotherapy afterwards. If they went in for what they thought was an ovarian cyst, took it out, and found cancer, then she might (ie, is) get chemotherapy for that. Not by default, since they're usually benign, but they get checked afterwards and if they found the nasty then...

xtothez posted:Something I'm curious on as I know we have a few medical-types who post here - for situations like this would the ultra-rich have a significantly better level of medical treatment than most people? I suspect the big advantage for the ultra-rich is just support. No need to work, no need to shop or deal with household stuff, meals prepared to your specifications and taste (which can change a lot in chemo, speaking from experience...), just lie there and get catered to. franco posted:Bloody chemo posers jumping on the bandwagon Good luck! I'm 4 sessions into chemo, but my neutrophil count keeps dropping below optimum so I've had to have a couple delayed. Bloody annoying, I want to get this over with.

Tesseraction posted:Nice. I want the party to start hearing this as a chorus over the coming months. I told the one who came to my door that Labour politicians supporting Thatcherism meant they weren't Labour, go away. Embarrassed that I forgot to mention genoide support etc, but I'd just woken up from a nice day snooze so sorry Gaza. Mebh posted:Really dumb question maybe (big sympathy and fingers crossed for goons in the thread with cancer) It was an external growth on my stoma that I had to spend months getting someone to look at. No complaints once it actually got looked at but drat I had a time getting to that point. So I'm not an example to anyone really, except that if you think something's wrong nag for your life. So yeah, get tested if you're worried.

Jedit posted:I can only imagine that they needed to know how to frame it. They didn't want to say it was no big deal then have it turn out to be Stage 4 cancer of the gently caress You, and likewise didn't want to play it up as potentially life threatening then have it turn out to be nothing. "We're not telling you until we know what we're telling you" is not an unreasonable position. They'd already released that Kate had had surgery; everyone just got bent out of shape with them not disclosing what it was for. Well then, frame it along the line of "potentially cancerous cells were discovered; medical investigation is underway; no further details will be disclosed at this time; the princess and her family would prefer privacy and peace during this sensitive time bla bla". Sorted.

feedmegin posted:Offer not valid in small businesses, of course, the worst shithead I ever had to work with ran a 30-person (at the time, it's like 120 now) company, was the CEO, and of course there was literally no HR department. After he tried to strongarm me into a 3 grand pay cut I just left and found somewhere saner to work but not everyone has that option. Ha, that reminded me of the boss who tried to get me to take a 20% pay cut because the company was struggling. I said. OK if I only worked a 4 day week. Apparently that was unacceptable. I was the only female engineer at that company but I'm sure that had nothing to do with it. Ahem.
