Reportedly had the flu a week ago.

So many people don't take the flu seriously - for the killer it can be. (sm)

I once had a co-worker who - despite the boss's suggestion she take a week or two off (paid sick days, too!) in order to recover - instead came back after only 2 days off, and continued to work for 2 more weeks while she was deathly ill. Not only did a couple more people in the office catch it, but this woman ultimately ruined her health forever by not taking this illness seriously. It led to several bouts of pneumonia and hospitalization, and eventually her chronic illness afterword led to her losing her job altogether.

I don't think Prince took enough time off to recover fully, and went back to work far too soon. This is such a sad loss for his fans - especially since it may likely have been avoidable. :(

I had the flu last year. It was horrible. Most days I do not remember. My doc told me it was not the flu that kills people, but the respiratory illness you get on top of the flu and your body is so depleted from the flu, that is has a hard time fighting this new infection, and you die. RIP Prince.

Now they are saying maybe - drugs, not flu

That was what the emergency stop was for, not the flu.

Did you hear? - R2

the comment he made last weekend to his fans, to save their prayers for a few days??? Thought that was weird, and now a few days later......

No it was not drugs . . . - anon

I have friends who work at the hospital that they took him to in Illinois in the wee hours last week. They cannot tell me what it was but did say drugs did NOT factor in). Thankful that HIPPA laws work. Does it really matter how he died? He died too young.

HIPAA laws at work - Still here

Your friends as violating HIPAA by even discussing this with you and saying what it was not. It would be no different than you being in the hospital where I worked and telling someone, "I know what she's here for and I can tell you it's not HIV." Even telling you that he was a patient there is a HIPAA violation. Did your friends read the chart? People get fired for this stuff, your friends need to be careful what they say to others in regard to anyone who has been under care in their facility.

Totally - Agree!!

^^^^ HIPAA violation at its worst, and also by posting what was heard, here. Another violation!

They won't know until the toxicology returns - Linda

[ In Reply To ..]
His friends say he was really health conscious so I would doubt drug abuse, but, perhaps an error on his medical record causing him to be prescribed a generic of a drug he is allergic to, or a VR error in dosing. They did the complete autopsy, finding no cause of death, so I suspect the toxicology will show what happened.

This was touched on very briefly in an earlier post, but is there anyone here who has either completely quit or dramatically reduced their tobacco use with one of the E-smokes? Which brand did you try? Were there any you didn't like and why? Did it take some getting used to or was it 'good' from the beginning? The majority of complaints seemed to be they were thick, and since I smoke VA Slims now, I may have a bit of an adjustment problem with that. ...

As Washington waits for the second season of “House of Cards,” Democrats in the meantime have created their own version to slam Republicans for partisanship that could “threaten to topple” the party, in an email sent Wednesday. “This fall, go inside the world of the House GOP, where partisanship, brinksmanship, and extremism threaten to topple the House of Cards built by the House Republican Conference,” the email said.

What do you do? We try to go to church every Sunday (our observed Sabbath Day) and for the rest of the day focus on spiritual rather than wordly things. We don't shop, eat out in restaurants, go to sporting events, etc. We do spend time with family, play games, read, and such, and really just try to have some good, quality time together. I try to NOT work on Sundays, but many times I have to due to meeting TAT. Do you observe a Sabbath Day? How do you do it?&n ...
