drol 11,995 Posted July 13, 2019 9 hours ago, drol said: Update on our friend Ershad, who is going out in full Asian dictator style. Yesterday his brother announced that he was recovering and would be indeterminately kept on life support if needed. Death was not an option yesterday. Today Ershad's condition is deteriorating as he suffers from liver and kidney failure. According to his brother "None of his organs are working", which probably means multiple organ failure. Ershad is also suffering from severe lung infection and myelodysplastic syndrome (or pre-leukemia). Anyway they don't think his life is in danger, as they did not even call a physician from Singapore for advanced treatment. I wonder when his life will be in danger. Ershad's blood shows no sign of infection , his body is responding to treatment and will be on life support till he recovers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder when his life will be in danger I would think that the fact they didn't call a physician from Singapore might mean that there is simply nothing they can do anymore, so it's a bad sign for him. Can't see them passing up any treatment if it was available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,487 Posted July 14, 2019 Rod Richards, one of the many Major government ministers who had to resign due to a Back to Basics era scandal, and one of the many more Tory MPs gubbed in the 1997 Labour landslide, dead at 72 after a private cancer battle. He was also a BBC newsreader and led the Welsh Tories back when that was Rod and 3 sheep. "A character, a bon vivant and man who didn't take fools gladly", as his inevitable Telegraph obit will no doubt read! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
