[quote=Anonymous][quote]hooked up to machines[/quote] This is the part that makes it a suspect story, in my opinion. Sounds like parents are looking for some 15 minutes, as PP said. Hooked up to "machines"--ooh, big scary machines?? An IV is a machine. Is that what they're talking about? When I had surgery once, I had to wear these massage boots to keep my circulation going, those were technically machines. They're making it sound like the kid was on life support, and since they DON'T detail what kind of machines they were, it makes me think it was something relatively minor. Nearly anyone who is checked into the hospital will be hooked up to some kind of monitoring machine. The kid has to have the opportuntiy to take the test. Parents, doctors and probably the kid can all say no.[/quote]
