[QUOTE=tier56;37170391]"Tree" guy? Please explain.[/QUOTE] Don't be so goddamn insensitive. They prefer to be called "Ents."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH, No no no no no.

What the fuck, there's audio on this page. Where is it coming from? [editline]10th August 2012[/editline] wow what that vimeo video started autoplaying itself, but only the audio

[QUOTE=AzzyMaster;37168626]Reminds me of this disease ([url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrodysplasia_ossificans_progressiva[/url]) where peoples muscle starts being replaced with bone.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwc0vzOvgr1qzzuvpo1_500.jpg[/IMG] If it wasn't so dodgy it would actually be pretty cool

Can't you get muscle calcification after you break bones anyway? Obviously that muscle > bone is ever so slightly worse

[QUOTE=markg06;37169113]It's the vimeo video, I noticed it in a different thread for some reason it just starts playing without the window being open.[/QUOTE] EUAGH! It just started out of no where! Scaring the HELL out of me!

[QUOTE] Her state-issued insurance does not cover her out-of-state care and only covers five of the 17 medications she is prescribed. "So we had to depend on the family and friends and different fundraisers and things like that to help me get back and forth," she said. Those savings accounts have dried up. Isom has a quarter of a million dollars in outstanding medical bills. She is afraid she won't be able to continue the treatment that could save her life. [/QUOTE] Depressing

[QUOTE=GlebGuy;37171052]You know, that disease transmits on contact. If you touch the guy, you'll get it too.[/QUOTE] True, but it wouldn't be as bad. He contracted HPV and had a rare disease that rendered him incapable of suppressing it like everyone else does, so the warts just kept growing. The only way you'd end up as bad as he does is if you have the rare condition as well.

man, if I had something like this I would probably just end it. Fuck that.

hopefully she doesn't bite her nails heuheuheuheu

[QUOTE=Lazore;37168788]got to be one of the best bullshits ive seen[/QUOTE] This made me come up with the most ruthless and irresponsible way of getting rich. Kidnap people, put gold implants in them and infect them on purpose, sell the resulting gold, INSTANT DOSH! The other diseases, nope nope nope. There's some disgusting shit in nature to do something like that to the human body at least they're rare for the most part.

Holy shit what the hell. Theres so much fucked up shit out there.

Might not be a terribly great solution, but wouldn't the smart thing to do simply be perform something like laser hair removal over her entire body top to bottom? I mean if you kill the hair follicles you've killed the problem, right? Plus it'd probably be a shit load less expensive than the approach they're currently taking.

[QUOTE=AngryChairR;37172047] If it wasn't so dodgy it would actually be pretty cool[/QUOTE] It's sort of cool in the "how the fuck do you let this happen, fucking nature how do you work" kind of way, but otherwise, it's just really morbid to look at, let alone to have it in the patient's case
