I live by a simple philosophy: only the good die young. 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We knew my my 95 year old nan was on the verge of death, but she didn't die until all her children were in the living room with her (or at least in the house where she'd lived for like 50 years and people had said goodbyes). She then apparently let out a small gasp of breathe and died. Mum was slightly freaked out about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When my Nana went (Dad's mum), she coughed during her penultimate breath and her false teeth shot across the room. By the time my Dad picked them up, and wiped off the slime, she'd gone.

He's probably out of the woods for the moment- lucky guy! If it stents then I'd say so far so good for Philip. My mum had to take a lot of care in the weeks after having stents inserted as the risk of heart attack remains high. Heart disease can be unpredictable, my grandmother died after her heart basically exploded aged 62, while my Grandfather survived two heart bypasses and numerous heart attacks before he died in his late 70's. While I hope Philip makes to 100, he's probably in the final furlong of life. This was in today's Popbitch mailout - Quote BBC news presenters have been asked to make sure they have black dresses, or jackets and ties, on hand this week in case of any Prince Philip developments.

ECG 32 Posted March 5, 2021 That advice about keeping black clothing items on hand won't be new. They always have them on standby. However, there will likely have been a reminder notice sent out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LovelyVincent 25 Posted March 5, 2021 wouldnt the royal family be given medical treatment to extend their life even if the doctor would say "nahhhh i wouldnt recommend it based on the persons age etc". Can doctors actually say that to a member of the family? I know a doctor gave a ton of cocaine to king george to finish him off but if theyd said at the time "Ooh a little op would give him a chance to live" back in the time the doctor would probably have done it. I'm not suggesting he's going to snuff it but it seems the doctors would probably try anything to keep them alive or try anything to bump them off outside the ordinary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not suggesting he's going to snuff it but it seems the doctors would probably try anything to keep them alive or try anything to bump them off outside the ordinary He'd be treated the same as any other patient: treatment may be available but chances of success have to be weighed up as well as the prospect of an improvement in the quality of life or expectation a reasonable extension of life may be possible. And from what I've heard over the years about Philip, I doubt a Hail Mary procedure at 99 would be his style. Sounds like it was likely relatively routine re-plumbing. On the 1 O'Clock News, I'm sure they suggested that if he was having a new stent put in, he wouldn't need to be under general anaesthetic, it could be done under local anaesthetic? But I'm not in any way medically trained, so don't quote me on that. I think the sign he's both been given surgery (or something similar) and seems to have come out of it ok (early days accepted) are signs that he's not going just yet. Not to mention (contrary to beliefs in here) the total lack of follow-up visits to Charles's last weekend. I suspect he'll get out this time, but I'm not sure I see him going back into hospital next time - it will be managed at Windsor, whether in 3 months, 6 months, a year or more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When he was asked why we only have 12 hours, Frankie replied that the original motion was "Prince Philip will die on the day of the royal wedding, as a final act of racism", but the producers wouldn't allow it. Despite that they allowed Frankie mentioning that was the original plan into the final recording. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,139 Posted March 7, 2021 Where does this thing about Philip being racist come from? As far as I can remember all he's ever done is make bad jokes.
