One of the interesting things about the news coverage is how the tv stories picked up that bogus babysitter (confirmed by the family; they did not even know who this person was), and how her info then became fact ("the girl had a history of headaches"). Is the press always like this - taking heresy and presenting it as fact so that it becomes fact in the public eye? What shoddy journalism.

my guess is idopathic left ventricular hypertrophy. Soar throat could be due to back up pressure on vagus nerve? headaches due to ineffecient stroke volume. these are always so shocking. plus, i think somebody died on the downtown LAL @ 72nd st. this morning. MTA had the track power off and trains rerouted.
