Bad News Day for other people

When I was coming into work, the radio had mentioned that the last rites were being given to Farrah Fawcett. Well, she passed away after battling metastatic anal cancer for 3 years today. News, especially bad news, goes around fast.

Then I was on my YSC site when I learned that ChicagoJen has had a recurrence of breast cancer. This is really the first time that I knew someone that was NED (no evidence of disease) and had a recurrence of her breast cancer. I feel awful for her, especially since I met her while I was in Texas.

Then, there's Michael Jackson, who just passed away. He's only 50. Who knows what lead to his death. People in my lab suspect it was drugs since he had a heart attack. 

Also, one of my proteins I was generating in the lab didn't get produced/purified very well. I would call it a day, but I must now do a ligation.

I know what led to Michael Jackson's death...he overdosed on prescription medication which caused his heart attack. He died in the hospital about a mile away from where I work. There is a staff person here whose brother is a doctor in the ER that worked on him. It is so sad!!

Yup, well, that settles it. Drugs, it is. Definitely a shame.
