It's in gainesville, florida, the teaching hospital of u of f. My friend and his family were given ten minutes to decide between shands and john hopkins. That's how close it was.

Some kinds of leukemia can hit very fast, I wondered about him when we went to see the borat flick and he didn't find it the least bit funny, knowing him for 25 years it was out of character.

Three weeks later, he is bleeding from his gums, wife makes him go to doctor, doctor sends him to emergency room, emergency room starts feeding him healthy blood and sends him to one of the aforementioned hospitals.

The symptoms seemed to be lethargy, immune system shot to hell, bleeding from gums and bruise easily.
