Hubbard’s hospitalization in Willemstad, Curaçao in the Netherlands Antilles has been known about for many years. Tony Ortega just mentioned it in his obituary for Kima Douglas:
Tony Ortega said:
She told him that in 1975 Hubbard had suffered a pulmonary embolism in Curaçao and had been taken to a hospital,

http://tonyortega.org/2013/01/26/kima-douglas-1942-2013/

These three documents that someone sent Gerry some time ago contain useful dates and other data relating to this incident.

The Scientologists have for years claimed that Lisa McPherson died of a pulmonary embolism. (Wikipedia: Death of Lisa McPherson) Note the difference in standard care. They didn’t lock Hubbard up, strap him down, deny him medical care, and turkey baster and chloral hydrate him. He got the best wog medical care in a wog hospital the Scientologists’ money could buy. The Scientologists’ care killed Lisa, not the embolism.

Well, who was it? Who was suppressing El Con??? Come on...fess up! You all know an ES PEE was keeping him from his goals - get your data series out and find the WHO!! We already know the WHY he got sick!! :coolwink:

Basically, :whocares:

So... If Hubbard's DOB was 3/13/1913, the 100-yr birthday would be...:melodramatic:.

Just checked Mr. Ortega's blog and didn't see anything posted today which mentioned a 'grand celebration'. Is CO$ hosting a bash/shindig/regging festival? More importantly, is this a day to encourage protest(s) or is it best to let it pass unobserved?


And the physician's initials were T.A.J.? :coolwink:

Re: Ron the Sickie (1975): Sickie-ness

Here's how Hubbard used "sickie" in 1965.

“FAILED” CASES​

There are no failed cases. There are only failed C/Ses and Auditors. In a recent test; this was proven conclusively. A number of no-case-gain, slow-case-gain, sickie and “failed cases” were rounded up. Using well trained Flag Auditors and the most basic of lists, every one of these cases was soon flying.



The label "sickie" is just as pejorative as the label "Potential Trouble Source." Here's the standard tech on "Handle or Disconnect" for sick people:

PTS HANDLING​


(PTS = Potential Trouble Source)


There are two stable data which anyone has to have, understand and KNOW ARE TRUE in order to obtain results in handling the person connected to suppressives.

These data are:

1. That all illness in greater or lesser degree and all foul-ups stem directly and only from a PTS condition.

2. That getting rid of the condition requires three basic actions: (A) Discover; (B) Handle or disconnect.

Scientologists' standard tech treatment of sick people with the SP doctrine is disgusting. Hubbard knew the problem was with his tech.

Hubbard said:
All right. This is 30th of March ‘72 and I’m about to roll up your misunderstood word record. We have here the ED 149 Flag. Cheer up, it doesn’t look that bad. It isn’t that bad, really, honest. Could be much worse. They might not be getting any help at all. They might just be thrown away in a garbage can someplace.

All right. This is, this was a Dianetic project and this is ED 149 Flag that we’re activating. And the situation was, we have too many chronic sickies and the probable why is Quickie Dianetics. And the auditing stats are low. Dianetic auditors cannot find PCs. And the ideal scene is Dianetics working to proper PC completion on each case.

And the program with this was a leading auditor to be appointed from Interns and that was done. And the leading auditor to, the leading auditor to select four auditors – one to fly ruds and three Dianetics to make a team – by the leading auditor. That’s been done. Three: team to be fully cleared on what really is a Dianetic completion – Director of Personnel Enhancement. Was that done? All right. Now four: folders of the MO’s chronic sickies list furnished by the MO to be assembled. You did that, he had already gotten his list, which was really what prompted the program. And five: FESes done on their cases. Now you’ve done that. And six: folders brought to LRH and LRH to gen in the team. And we’re at that stage right now. And then we’ve got programs to be written for each case to briefly repair and do real Dianetics on. All right.

Hubbard, L. Ron. (1972, 30 March). Expanded Dianetics. Expanded Dianetics, (XDN-1, 7203C30) Lecture conducted from aboard the Apollo.

Note Hubbard's use of the term "chronic sickies." It's not a redundancy. Anyone who got sick in Scientology could be labeled a "sickie," and that label was universally known and thrown around in Scientology. If Scientologists were sick more than once in a blue moon Hubbard labeled them "chronic sickies." What greatness is that.
 
also a member PM'd me a couple days ago ladybird is no longer amongst us

beautiful woman...

i visited her in modesto a couple times and she'd send me off with an armload of oranges from their tree that i'd kick down fresh and sweet to hippies on haight...

would that i were a painter to capture on canvas a vision of her with a broomstick shaking the fruit free of the branch; timeless woman, provident and generous and graceful...

This was fun to look at.

Some side effects of taking an anticoagulant drug are abdominal pain and lower back pain. Didn't he complain about those symptoms often? He was a fat smoker with rotting teeth - certainly not the poster boy for good health. (Slap me with a Way to Happiness book!)

His creatinine is high indicating poor kidney function, and he has a pre-diabetic blood sugar level. In the hematocrit (complete blood test) - don't know what the thrombotest 24% means, but must have something to do with his blood coagulation after taking the sitrom (anticoagulant drug). It would probably relate to the PTT (prothrombin time) a test of how fast blood coagulates. I suppose it would have to be a certain percentage so clots don't form and create an embolism (obstruction of a blood vessel).

Is there a doctor in the house?

That was the year the Photo Shoot Org started, the RPF began to mushroom in size and El Ron began consolidating power in the CMO amongst other things, which I've covered in some of my El Ron stories from that era. EVERY year was an Horror Year on the Apollo, IMO. :ohmy:

This is the stuff that always annoyed me.

I see 2 motherloving actions - Discover and Handle OR Disconnect. That's 2!

We, as loyal sheep, had to take his work so literal, but it rarely made sense.
That's my .02¢

I wonder which Herpes virus he had, and where he picked it up from. However if it was being manifested it means he was stressed which would go along with the filling of the RPF and the general fun that was going on on the ship.

I know! WTF? Good thing the port is on the leeward side of the island so the residents did not get a wiff of the blue asbestos.

When I was on the Freewinds, it was boasted how photos LRH took of Curacao were still used on postcards for tourists, though no-one could ever show me one of those postcards. :puke2:

He must've taken them when his blood was flowing better. :medical:

What is more amazing is how many people do you know who has never been sick. When you get down to it just about every person on this planet has gotten sick. The SPs are everywhere. Here is my handling:

1. Discover. They are everywhere like the Zombies in World War Z which was a fun movie to watch.

2. Handle. There is too damn many of them to handle. Like Zombies!

3. Disconnect. Move to an island where nobody lives. Zombies can't swim. Now I'm totally de-pts.

Or

I can take care of my body with proper rest, medication if needed or a medical doctor if really sick. Recover and carry on with my life just like rest of the people on this planet generally do. If Hubbard doesn't follow his own writings then why should anybody else?

Likely Zoster. His poor health might have triggered a reactivation. Does anyone know if he ever had shingles?

As far as my understanding has it all the lovely Herpes viruses (I don't do Latin plurals) are too strong for immune systems to permanently destroy, they can only quarantine them and if stressed the immune system is weakened and the virus prospers for a bit till the immune system gets the upper hand again.

Thus you can get cold sores time and time again with one theory that it hides away in nerve ganglions and that it can end up as Alzheimers, likewise genital sores though the nearest nerve ganglions would probably be the spinal column, chicken pox shows up again as Shingles, Glandular Fever or Mononucleosis or Epstein Barr Virus depending on where you are from can morph into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, there's also a special one for wrestlers from skin contact and in all most human beings have been infected by at least one of these viruses. I don't think the doctor would mention it if it was just a cold sore, but Herpes is quite a generality being a whole family of viruses that can be anywhere from unnoticed to giving a patient recurring fever and exhaustion.
