    In reply to Sanjay Gupta's Third Daughter Came Along at the Worst Possible Time For His Career
    I'm pretty sure that Richardson fell on Monday afternoon, around the same time Gupta's wife was giving birth, not the day after.

    @VoxPopuli: Also, I have to add that I don't understand why people think this post is snarky. I guess if I had been watching CNN's coverage of this story and hadn't seen their main medical correspondent - a brain surgeon no less - pop up until several days after the fact, then I might wonder why.


    Yeah, it's not the most interesting topic, at least to me, but Gawker does sometimes still cover the media and this would fall into that category.


    The "killing him" part I'm guessing was just an unfortunate choice of words, not an intentional pun.

    This post is just plain bizarre. And not in a good way. I can see trying to come up with a unique, "inter-web edgy" way of announcing the birth, but this isn't the way to do it.


    Sorry to get all Church Lady for a minute, but even snark has its limits.

    Just a comment on the all the doctors saying she could have been saved had she received prompt medical attention. What a bunch of dicks. I don't think there could be a better way to make the family feel worse. Way to go doodz.

    @Kitten_Witawip: I agree. No one knows, of course. However, I do think, while discussing this incident, doctors should encourage people to get medical attention as soon as possible after a head injury and to wear helmets when participating in sports. When they say these things though, it is going to sound like they are finding fault with Natasha's actions.

    @downlow: @Kitten_Witawip: Montreal & area doctors are using this incident to lobby for medivac helicopters from the province. Tremblant is about 3 hours from Montreal and if they could get there quicker "maybe" they could have saved her.


    On the other hand, they do have the service in Alberta, but if you are evacuated by helicopter and after the fact your injuries are not considered life threatening, you are personally on the hook for the service, which is about $900 or so. Maybe not an issue for someone like Natasha, but a lot of skiers turn down the service when it's recommended because they don't want to be stuck with the bill. (I learned this direct from the ski patrol at Lake Louise where I was being treated for my-broken-wrist-while-snowboarding accident. I had a helmet, just forgot my wristguards that day :S )

    @kewlkat: Gawker, at its best, gives us access to people on the scene such as yourself. Thanks for some interesting facts.

    As for coulda, woulda, shoulda: yes, they might have been able to save her if there was a CT scan and a neurosurgeon standing by at the first hospital they took her to, but events such as this one are generally clearer when seen through a rear view mirror.

    I'm sort of amazed that Natasha Richardson's accident prompted someone to think "woah, dude, that's totally Sanjay Gupta's turf!" Not that I think it's irreverent thing to ponder--it's just a stupefyingly trivial one.
