WC misstates what happened in New Mexico, per usual with his agenda. It’s actually not quite as simple as he claims:

It appears there was quite a dispute between the director of UNM’s pediatric oncology department and the physicians who worked under her about the care and the marketing of the care the kids were receiving. The director ultimately gave up her license.

The alleged fear of the bad outcome had little to do with this.

What does a cerebral spinal fluid leak look like.

Only reason I ask, is 3 or 4 times a year, I get a yellowish watery fluid leak out of my nose.

History, when I was a kid, I got hit across the bridge of my nose. Family doctor at the time didn’t think it was worth his time to even xray it. Had battle sign for almost a month. Years later, a Navy doctor asked me when I broke my nose, he noticed the deviated septum.

So is it possible to have a basal fracture, that only occasionally leaks, for almost 40 years?

Of course I guessed the Dx on the pt who got the Johnny Walker per NG. Why waste the high priced stuff? Bargain store vodka would have done the same thing at 1/4 the cost.
