I can't get it to play - black box kept saying "now loading - locals only." Finally a picture came up with 2 women behind desk in what looks like a doctor's office, hit play button, but nothing happened.

Do you have a link where can just read the story? Thanks.

Hi all. I could only get the reporter's voice to play, so couldn't hear what anyone else was saying. It sounds like this woman lost her colon. Gosh, everyone, please don't wait too long to get medical help if you are sick! The reporter said this woman was sick for three weeks. That is way too long to play around w/C Diff. I'm sure she didn't know she had it, but if I were sick w/D for more than a few days, I'd see a doc ASAP!!!! After 2 days of it, I saw my doc!

Thanks for posting this video...just wish I could hear all of her story.

I believe the trick to this is that you have Flash Player 8.0 or later.
