          This cannot take into account the complexity of the surgery and likely gives a false sense of knowledge. The guys that I would want clipping a brain aneurysm have higher morbidity and mortality because they take the cases that other surgeons wont touch.

                The constipation issue is pretty much resolved. What was missing was oats and high intensity activity.

                As for the fatigue and anemia: feeling better. Enough to run and do more intense workouts again. However, I am holding myself to a promise of "No 26.2" this coming year. I think 5K, 10K, and sprint duathlon (5K run/20K bike/5K run) should keep me busy.

                  I believe chronic fatigue was a misdiagnosis, and it was simple overtraining that led to being so f-cking tired.

                  2015, did three marathons, felt good.
                  2016, decided I could pile on with 5 marathons and a 50 mile ultra. After the Marquette Marathon Labor Day weekend that year, my ankles were screaming. After each marathon that year, I only waited a week before heading back out.
                  2017, I wanted to shoot the moon. Shot both feet off in the process. I wanted to be on someone else's level so badly that I ignored the warning signs. In the end, when I was forced to not run between August and December, "I did absolutely nothing. And it was everything I dreamed it could be."

                          Clearly a one-sided report, with Mayo declining to respond, but interesting nonetheless.

                          Family says Mayo was trying to abduct their daughter.

                            Admittedly, I'm a supporter of Mayo. But starting with the line that the patient had virtually no chance of survival and progressing quickly to obscenities, I have some doubts about this one. 1) They see thousands of patients a day - not surprising that at some point they'll have some issues 2) This is not a bank - they literally save the lives of hundreds a day and potentially lives that may not have been saved elsewhere. I think giving some slack is due. 3) It even appears that CNN is walking on egg shells with how much positioning this one's getting. Questionable.

                              Here is the thing about the Mayo Clinic. If your head just fell off of your shoulders one day, that's the place where I'd want it to happen because if there is a way to keep you alive in that situation, they will figure it out.

                              But, the Mayo Clinic, as a business and organization, is nasty. I can tell you this from personal experience. When talking about Mayo it is extremely important to remember those differences. They would throw a wheelchair bound 80 year old into the street if she was interfering with their business expansion plans, then turn around and have one of their doctors restore her ability to walk.

                              This young lady was saved by a medical miracle that can really only be performed at Mayo and perhaps a couple of other locations. The problem afterward is that she ended up having to deal at length with the corporation.
                              That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
