I thought it was a pink iguana!

It looked like a heart to me. 

At least she's alive! Damn that was close. 

[Wanda]

Will she be grateful to be alive or pissed she didn’t get the surgery

Credit cards can be a problem in this income bracket.

I have great credit and a decent salary and I don't have one, just not interested and keeps me out of trouble :).   But my guess is they cannot get one since they apparently have no income.

[88Keys]

So, at that moment when a patient starts coding, does Dr. Now have to step back and let an ER doctor take over?

[Caoimhe]

So they saved her life and now she's crying that she didn't get the weight loss surgery?

If he'd get a haircut and shave he could drop 5 pounds easy.

I thought the exact same thing.

Dear God, that was awful!

To be fair, she's barely awake and probably in a lot of shock.

[ams1001]

Aw, I like that nurse.

[Azubah]

That nurse is doing a great job with explaining the choice.

[Pepper Mostly]

That nurse is a CHAMP

Yes, that's my take on it too.

The addict's logic... I can manage this...just cut back and then stop...

That actually worked for me to quit smoking. I cut down gradually over the course of a year, and didn't tell anyone what I was doing. When I was down to one cigarette every other day, I stopped, and then I told people. That was thirty years ago, and I've never smoked again. But for a couple of years I did keep a sealed pack of cigarettes in a drawer, so that if I ever wanted one, it would be right at hand. Eventually got rid of it, and never looked back.

But I don't know if that approach would work so well with food. If you gave up potatoes, for example, you could just eat more rice or pasta. I think you'd have to do it in bigger stages; first give up all sugars, then give up all starches, then lower fat intake, then cut portion sizes on what's left. Hmmm.

[Brooklynista]

Did they have to tell her she didnt have the operation? Wonder what her progress would be if she went home thinking she had a smaller stomach and couldn't eat mich.

[Stusan]

Aw, that anasthesiologist was sweet. (Yes, terribly misspelled).

[Julyolo]

She may code again. The next 72 hours are critical.

Nurses don’t get the credit they deserve

[Brooklynista]

Is Dr. Now wearing a medical Kangol hat?

[MsVixen]

This just reiterates how all surgeries have risks.

[parrotfeathers]

Poor thing.  She was almost a goner.  And Allen was getting his cheat lunch.

[Callaphera]

"I'm even mad that Doctor Now brought me back."

Welp. There went aaany iota of sympathy I had for her.

[Wanda]

Yup, ungrateful.

Good point, but a month later she is STILL on about it.  I see Lola in her future!

[DEG9]

She's mad he brought her back. Selfish much?

[cmpbl]

Wow she wanted Dr. Now to let her die. She needs therapy right now.

I'm being sedated for oral surgery in the next few weeks. I really needed to see this, lemme tell you. 

[Azubah]

She's more depressed than selfish.

Yup, ungrateful. 

And very depressed.

[CircusPeanuts]

Dr Now should not have told her what happened while she was in the OR.  She freaked out, which is understandable. I’m so glad whomever that staff member was  really calmed her down and explained that they had a choice to keep her living or stop the surgery. 

[QuinnInND]

She's upset because she lived?? And didn't get the operation? Ugh. 

[Concerned]

Depressed much.

[ShortyMac]

Based on her childhood, she has no self-esteem or self-worth. I'm not shocked that she's depressed.

[88Keys]

"Have you noticed I'm single?"

No, Kate Gosselin, we haven't noticed because no one gives a crap about you.  Go away.

[hoosiermom]

I don't know what to think.

[Callaphera]

Just now, Jeeves said:

Or manipulative. 

Some people, especially addicts, can be very good at saying what they need to so they get the most sympathy possible, therefore they can get their way again because you feel so bad for them. 

[Wanda]

She’s acting like a spoiled brat who was unfairly deprived of her rightful operation rather than someone who was saved after her heart stopped. Shouldn’t getting a second chance to be with your beloved husband be motivation enough? /s

[7EasyPayments]

Oh I almost DIED?

Why didn't you do the weight loss surgery ANYWAY ??!?!

I hope her next pizza slaps her upside the head.

[OoogleEyes]

Kate us as uninteresting as ever

Kate?

NOPE!

As someone who just came home with another case today I heartily concur.

Interesting.... and I much prefer meds to wine. There really is a lid for every pot! Give me a Percoset any day!! 💊

[Hellga]

I am glad they were able to revive her.  I think this is the first where they haven't been able to complete the procedure on the show?

[cmpbl]

This is why I think patients should have to start  to therapy before surgery.

[aliya]

I liked that Dr Now was patting VNA's shoulder in the OR.

That said, I am so going to hell because all I could think of was a scene from Beavis and Butthead, where Butthead is patting the hand of a pilot after a crash and saying, "Don't die and stuff."  Aliya jr and I say this to each other all the time if we feel sick - a feeble little pat on the hand and a "don't die and stuff."

Yep. Time for a visit to the therapist. 

I'm not surprised she coded. She looked really bad for most of the episode, even after losing weight.

Dear Kate,

Have you noticed that no one here is surprised that you're single?

All of North America (and a few Europeans)

V: "Poor me! Poor me!"

DEG: <smacks her upside the head> It's not just you, bitch! Pull on some panties, and get yer ass in gear, if only for your husband!

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

There is no way on god’s green earth that anyone gives a flying fuck to see Kate Gosselin go on a date.
