So has anyone been reading about Castro's colon??

Sounds like there have been a lot of problems - and that GI docs in Cuba are just as stupid as some of the ones we have encountered!

Of course, lots is being denied, but it sounds like surgery for diverticulitis did not go so well with lots of post-op complications, infection and more surgery...I can't imagine the prognosis for someone his age would be very good after all of that...

I'm also quite thankful I am not a public person whose bodily functions are being described in newspapers around the world talk about embarrassing!

Apparently he had the same surgery that I had, except that he managed to talk his doctors into avoiding a colostomy, and I wasn't as successful as he was, (but then, I'm not El Comandante, either). I was probably pretty lucky that they didn't let me talk them out of it. I'm sure that Mr. Castro is having some major second thoughts about it now, but it's probably too late to correct the situation.
