THE PRESS BREAKS A JOINT

It may be fun just to keep documenting just how poorly THE PRESS covers health care. That way, when misinformed diatribes masquerading as editorials are tossed slapdash into the public's face, we can trot out the seminal confusions THE PRESS demonstrates when it comes to the most basic medical issues.

All over THE PRESS yesterday I kept reading and hearing about Fidel Castro breaking his knee.

How basic and bad is that error? The knee is a joint. It is composed of a LOT of structures, only some of which are bones -- which are the things that get broken.

The Swiss got it wrong (and they also mentioned another favorite of mine, the "hairline fracture" -- buahahaha!) and so did the K.C. Star; no surprise about the Miami Herald, the U.K. Times...and basically, everyone else.

And don't tell me that the Cuban Press release misinformed everyone. You can quote the release but in your own description you need to be correct. That is, if you want to be accurate. But then again, these are not organizations that report the facts, are they? They give us THEIR VIEW of incidents. Like breaking a knee. Oh, here's a knee in a slightly different exposure than at the picture atop this post...for those of you who are intested in THE FACTS...

Later reports, out of Cuba implied there was a comminuted patellar fracture--hardly enough, anatomically, to qualify as "breaking a knee."
