I figure slim and none, as his outward presentation is
somewhat repellent, not to mention the mess that is
inside. Also, on inquiry it came out that he had to
pay for his own plane ticket, which is a bad sign to
start with.

 NB>> I hear the operative word... but it sure would be nice.  :)  Good

 NB> Sigh.  Hope he's ok...

Turns out a false alarm. He was at the radiology office
for some purpose that had nothing to do with anything,
and his electronic tether "checked him in" and
broadcast to the universe that he was there.

Turns out they gave me 2 liters of fluid and 2 units, so
I lost round about 5 pints, a substantial proportion of my
blood supply.

Sort of like things that call themselves spicy with
an exclamation point. Usually they qualify only if
you count salt as a spice. But at least "extra-sharp"
is usually sharper than "sharp."
