Does a Baron 58 have an ejection seat?

Do you have some sort of scientific or medical literature you can cite to
substantiate yet another one of your wild assertions?

Are you also a medical expert because you read about it on the internet or
did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express? Perhaps there's a Microsoft physician
sim that qualifies you as knowledgeable.

In this case, I think he's correct. I'm recovering from a cancer that
required extensive surgery (removal of my esophagus) and I nearly died
after burning through the little fat I had in reserve. After the fat
gets used, your muscles go next. If I'd had more reserve fat, I'd
probably have had an easier time of recovery, and not had such a lack
of energy due to difficulty eating.

A large percentage of cancer patients ultimately die of starvation, as
the disease and its treatment often combines a lack of appetite with a
very high consumption of calories by the cancer. Without fat stores
the body's energy reserve can be exhausted very quickly. Patients
must be encouraged to eat or they must be fed, and some people claim
that eating a great deal has a beneficial effect in fighting the
cancer, although these claims are controversial.

He has not substantiated any of the numerous wild statements he has made and
I doubt he will start now.

Why don't you do some research for yourself and find out how wild my
assertions are? You may be surprised.

No. My study of medicine has been largely independent of the
Internet, although I use some Net resources more often nowadays.

Why should I do research on your continuing wild and unsubstantiated claims?
Don't you get it? The questions you ask are frequently very reasonable, but
your dogmatic and argumentative responses are what alienate you.

As for knowledge, I not only am a "real" pilot, I also went to a real
medical school, so unless your understanding of real biochemistry is better
than your flying experience you might want to ratchet down your own
impression of how much you actually know.

It's up to you. I don't personally care whether you do research or
not.

From whom? Some people react (and overreact) emotionally; others do
not. I simply write off the first category, as there isn't much else
that can be done with them. It's not my problem.

As I've said, do some research if you are interested in the topic. If
you're not, don't.
