Argentina's President Cristina Kirchner has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer

[Napoleon]

It turns out that CK didn't have cancer after all, which must come as a huge relief to her and her family.
So, was this operation purely precautionary?
Why was the initial diagnosis positive?

You should have also posted the BBC's photo for those who don't like clicking through.

There. Don't mention it.

Nip/tuck seems appropriate.

I'm just happy that all her "groupies" will go back to capital and I can use he pagofacil in front of the hospital now

 

[scotttswan]

so what you are saying is that she will come out of hospital with full head to toe mourning so we cant see the cosmetic scars?

she wont need to cover them up, they're all from her thyroid operation

With her thyroid removed, she'll have to spend the rest of her life on HRT drugs (correct if wrong) to prevent fatigue, which she suffers from anyway.
She may not be popular with many, but your health is your most valuable asset.

Yes..and this fiasco speaks volumes about the state of medical professionalism in Argentina.
You are left to conclude that either medical opinion can be purcha$ed or that the Docs were too incompetent for jumping the gun on the initial mis-diagnosis.

As Lee has posted...why not a second opinion? Or why didn't they just wait until the final results before going public? I guess the political greed & incentive to distract & win sympathy votes was just too great.

As can be seen on this very thread...she's certainly managed to pull the wool over some of the poster's eyes here too ...not to mention any names....in Oz we call it "egg in your face"...."Conspiracy"? ja ja ja ja...well maybe not the CIA this time round...more like Casa rosada's.

Now, the 'de facto' leader of the opposition 'Clarin' (AKA Magnetto & Cia.),

Guess what?

They 'think' there is a conspiracy behind all this, they're having a buck each way, so they never lose.
