Fever and corpses

High fever 39.1 centigrade. Too scared to phone C10 and so phoned oncology. They did not insist that I go in. Thank goodness for Dr MB.

Did you see the macabre carry on in the vatican? Dearie me. And the poles want his heart. I read this article about how Pope Pius - forget his number tag - was photographed in his death throes by his life long confidante and doctor. The doctor then went onto publish the grisly photos. He also embalmed the pontiff using what he said were ancient christian methods. These did not work and the corpse started decomposing..he turned purple and the nose fell off etc. The doctor got struck off and suitably castigated..This Pius bloke you should remember is the same pope who came to an agreement with old Adolf Hitler. Read here And if you want to read the failings of Pope John Paul "the Great" read here.
