The Miser 18 Posted January 23, 2008 We are trying hard to find and detect the bacteria and treat him with proper antibiotics, but we cannot guarantee it will be successful," he told reporters. "We are not happy with his condition today." Suharto, who was rushed to a hospital with anemia and a dangerously low heart rate Jan. 4, has suffered multiple organ failure and is on a ventilator and a dialysis machine and is being fed through a tube. "There are new infections in several parts of his body," said Dr. Marjo Subiandono. "The increased sepsis is threatening his life." Feels like we have been here before. I think it is the passing of Heath Ledger that sent him downward spirialing again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted January 24, 2008 Doctor eyes a return home for Suharto Indonesia's former president Suharto may be able to leave hospital soon if his condition does not deteriorate further, one of the doctors treating him said. Suharto's condition has gone up and down since he was admitted to hospital three weeks ago, and doctors Wednesday said it was worsening because of fresh infections. The 86-year-old former strongman remains critical after suffering multiple organ failure, but Christian Johannes, one of the dozens of doctors treating him, said indicators now showed the level of infection was decreasing. "This shows an improvement," he told reporters outside the hospital around midnight. "If his conditions remain stable in the next two, three days, he may return (home)."

Guest Guest Posted January 24, 2008 I think we can now safely conclude beyond doubt that the so called Suharto illness has been a massive hoax perpetrated on all of us to try and get him off his legal charges.The doctors have clearly been paid a fortune to lie and exagerate to the press.Suharto will survive,for a few more years,but I vote that we kill off discussion about this latest bogus health crisis here and now.Who agrees with me?

Ahhh, come on. For sheer entertainment value and a whole new lexicon of medical terminology like "brain failure" it's been hard to beat. And the latest one, hot off the press...... http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/01/24/...sia-Suharto.php "JAKARTA, Indonesia: Former Indonesian dictator Suharto ate half a biscuit Thursday as his health improved marginally but he remained in critical condition and attached to a ventilator, doctors said." then further down the same article "...has suffered multiple organ failure and is on a ventilator, dialysis machine and is being fed through a tube". Does it count as "eating" if they've fired a custard cream down a tube??? Given his latest supposed problem maybe a digestive biscuit would have been more appropriate?? Of course it's a hoax, but I'm enjoying the farcical execution of it. Not as much as I'd enjoy his actual execution though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Idle away hours with these super Posted January 24, 2008 To help certain deathlisters pass the hours between Suhurto press releases I have devised a list of 10 seat of your pants, adrenalin packed activities in which you can partake. 1) Sort all your correspondence over the last ten years in a specially designed quasi-duodecimal yet alphabetised fashion, and then shred it. 2) Phone up various call centres and see how long you can go round in circles by pressing the option buttons listed. Plot your results in a statistical distribution and write a report in LaTeX summarising your findings 3) Chisel away at the build up of ice in your freezer with a toothpick 4) Translate the Magna Carta from Latin into Esperanto via Klingon 5) Watch the cubic zirconia special on QVC, which you have taped for emergencies such as these 6) Travel to your local airport by intermittently hopping and taking "pigeon steps" to wait for a flight that is scheduled to depart on the 24th January 2009. 7) Try pulling out your teeth with silly string and blu-tac 8) Post something inane on the Patrick Moore thread; it would make some DLers day, you'll have to trust me on this one 9) Visit Tunbridge Wells and ask around, see if you can find where Mr and Mrs A. N. Noyed live 10) Edit the entire site of wikipedia changing each E for an I and each A for a P Why don't you turn just switch off your internet set and go out and do something less boring instead?

He's still alive Yes, the thread doesn't need to be closed, nor can it be, as the subject's a candidate. What we need is a big tarpaulin and some sort of basic scaffolding erected around the whole thread, like the ones the police use to hamper rubber-necking at the scenes of gory traffic accidents. Perhaps the Mods could take turns standing at the thread entrance, occasionally shouting "Move on now please, there's nothing to see here..." etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Two days later, the chief of the medical team treating Suharto stated that the former President is in a "very critical condition" after almost all his organ functions failed, and that there was only a 50-50 chance that he would survive, though some Indonesians believe Suharto would not die easily because he practiced mysticism." - from Wikipedia.
