"Patrick C. Flannery, 54, Jamestown, died Monday, Oct. 3, 2011, at his
home."

Pithy.


Condolences to his family.

Ah hell what miserable news to get today, and to see it sullied by
Haller's whining blathering no less. I hope at least there was family
and friends to be there with him in his last days, and that his
passing was without any suffering.

Thus ends of an era of USENET.... So a fond farewell to you, Pat, and
enjoy a toast for us with the other great pioneers who've gone before
us like Goddard, Von Braun, Korolev, Komarov, Alan Shepard, the crews
of Apollo 1, Soyuz 11, Challenger, and Columbia, etc.

If there is an afterlife I bet they throw one hell of a welcome party for
Pat...

Can you imagine the opening line he'll come up with?

So whats to complain about my post?

having had a number of close calls, including one nearn death
experience I lost 13 pints of blood......

ANY DAY may be our day might as well have some fun while were here,
and do some good while were here. plus no one lives forever........

Cripes, people. Can we refrain from insulting each other just this
once?

So you LOST three more pints of blood than the human body contains?
Yeah, I'd call that 'near death', all right.
Hint: The average healthy male human body contains less than 11 pints
of blood.
This may, however, explain the obvious brain damage....


Now, now. It is perfectly possible to "lose" that amount of blood in
total if you make it to the hospital still alive and they start
pumping lots of blood INTO you while you are still having blood flow
OUT of you. At any given moment of time you might not be down more
than, say, 4 pints - but after they finally stop the bleeding and give
you enough blood to get you back to "normal", you find out that they
transfused 13 pints of blood into you during the whole procedure.

I think Pat will be too busy with those Venusian Fire Maidens they've
got lined up for him to come up with anything. ;-D

He said he LOST that much. *In English, that means he was DOWN that
much.

Hell, if they give you a slow leak and pump it in as it leaks out,
you're nowhere near death but you could 'lose' 100 gallons of blood.

That's not what most sensible people mean when they talk about how
much blood someone lost.

I bled out my butt like a garden hose, had a lifeflight helicopter
ride, and very nearly died at 28...... they pushed blood... and gave
me many units of blood platets. to aid clotting the blood gushed out
between my legs, dripping on the floor.....

dr young who cared for me he was really glad i survived, its tough on
the staff when they lose people so young.....

i am 54 its hard to believe how fast that time went by... i spent many
days in the trauma unit........

I believe I got a look at heaven my BP tanked.....

this has helped when family and friends have died. what i saw was so
beautiful i wanted to go back there.....

i believe they are in a better place
