There is much twittering and morbid speculation in the medical blogosphere today regarding the extent and severity of actress Natasha Richardson's injuries following a fall during a ski holiday.
It's turning my stomach. Even Kevin chimed in. And that turned my stomach:
Kevin, I think it is very inappropriate to be involved, in any way, in all of the speculation (and that's what it is - people "showing off" their medical knowledge) surrounding Ms. Richardson's condition.
In point of fact, by chiming in, you're just another pundit here.
My thoughts and prayers are with Ms. Richardson, her husband, sons, Mother and family. And that is the ONLY message we as physicians should be sending to them right now.
Their lives should not be reduced to public service announcements - or policy debates.
Evening Update: Natasha Richardson succumbed to her injuries. She was an incredibly gifted actress - lovely and vibrant on stage and screen. This is just incredibly sad.
