text: [[quoteright:325:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MostDangerousGamePoster2_8348.jpg]]->This page is about the short story. If a link for "humans hunting humans" brought you here, please change it to HuntingTheMostDangerousGame.'''"The Most Dangerous Game"''' (also known as "The Hounds of Zaroff") is a 1924 short story by Richard Connell.Rainsford, a hunter of big game from New York, finds himself shipwrecked on an island. He finds a big mansion with a bored old general there, who describes his one true passion: hunting. The general tells Rainsford that he only hunts [[TitleDrop the most dangerous game of all]]... humans. The full story can be found [[http://www.classicshorts.com/stories/danger.html here]].The title has a double meaning, referring both to a "game" or contest between the general and his quarry, as well as "game" in the sense of an animal that is hunted.The story has been directly adapted for film at least eight times, though only twice under its original title: in 1932, with Joel [=McCrea=] as Rainsford and Leslie Banks as Zaroff, and in 2008, with Brian Spangler-Campbell and Mark Motyl, respectively. However, it has been imitated by a vastly greater number of works, and is the source and TropeNamer of the HuntingTheMostDangerousGame plot.----!!This story provides examples of:* ActionSurvivor: Rainsford. In the film, Eve.* AffablyEvil: More so in the movie than in the book, Zaroff is quite ruthless, but he can be very charming and polite when he's not hunting human beings. In both cases he quickly slides to FauxAffablyEvil.* {{Badass}}: The main character. Not only manages to survive three days in the woods, but also kills two of Zaroff's best hounds and his bodyguard, followed by [[spoiler: Zaroff himself]]. Zaroff himself also counts. * BloodKnight: Zaroff.* {{Cossacks}}: Ivan and Zaroff, see HuskyRusskie below.* CurtainCamouflage: [[spoiler: Rainsford]] hides himself this way at the very end. * DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Zaroff is ten steps ahead of Rainsford. [[spoiler: Only being outwitted at the very end]].* DeadGuyOnDisplay: Zaroff keeps the heads of his victims as hunting trophies.* DerelictGraveyard: Ship-Trap Island.* DoubleEntendre: The title. See the entry on the DoubleEntendre page for an explanation.* TheDragon: A minor example in Ivan. * DuelToTheDeath: Rainsford and Zaroff square off at the end of the story; the winner gets to sleep in Zaroff's opulent bed, while the loser's body will be fed to the hounds. [[spoiler: It's pretty clear that Rainsford wins.]]-->[[spoiler: He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided.]]* EgomaniacHunter: General Zaroff.* FaceHeelTurn: One interpretation of the ending.* FauxAffablyEvil: Zaroff casually converses with Rainsford about hunting and killing others.* AGlassOfChianti * GreatWhiteHunter: Rainsford.* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: TropeNamer.* [[TheKillerBecomesTheKilled The Hunter Becomes The Hunted]]* HuskyRusskie: Ivan; also, Zaroff.-->"Ivan is an incredibly strong fellow... A simple fellow, but, I'm afraid, like all his race, a bit of a savage."-->"Is he Russian?"-->"He is a Cossack," said the general, and his smile showed red lips and pointed teeth. "So am I."* IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace: Ship-Trap Island.* InHarmsWay* ItAmusedMe: General Zaroff doesn't hunt people that he ''hates''; he does it for ''fun''. * ManOfWealthAndTaste: General Zaroff.* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: the reason Zaroff got bored with regular game, and why he finds Ivan so useful.* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: The whole purpose of both the story as well as the trope in general. The villain is a big-game hunter who got bored with dumb animals and started hunting humans who could present more of a challenge. Then he finds another almost equally-bored big-game hunter who would be even more of a challenge than random sailors who don't know how to really fight back.* OneNameOnly: Whitney and Zaroff have no first names, Ivan has no last name.* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: The climactic battle between Rainsford and Zaroff. Considering the general badassery of both characters, it can be assumed that it was quite a fight.]]* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Zaroff. He's a Cossack, so TruthInTelevision.* PsychopathicManchild: Zaroff, essentially with his whole "I always get what I want" mentality.* RuleOfThree: Rainsford makes three traps for Zaroff. The first time Rainsford makes a Malaccan man-catcher, which almost kills Zaroff, but the man dodges just in time. The second trap is a tiger pit with sharpened stakes, which succeeds in killing Zaroff's best hunting dog. The third trap is a Ugandan knife trap, which takes out [[spoiler:Ivan]].* ScarilyCompetentTracker: As soon as the game begins Rainsford sets out on making the most confounding false trail he can, then covering up his real path. Zaroff finds him anyway.* SocialDarwinist: General Zaroff.-->"I refuse to believe that so modern and civilized a young man as you seem to be harbors romantic ideas about the value of human life... Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure. I am strong. Why should I not use my gift? If I wish to hunt, why should I not? I hunt the scum of the earth: sailors from tramp ships--lascars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels--a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them."* TheSpeechless: Ivan.* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Zaroff uses a bow when the hunt begins and in the climax.* SummonBiggerFish: If the hunt has gone for three days with the huntee still outsmarting Zaroff, the general will release his hunting dogs.* TastesLikeFriendship* TeachHimAnger: Rainsford is far from helpless; but when he gets pushed to the limit, he gets ''mad.''* TsaristRussia: "Ivan once had the honor of serving as official [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knout knouter]] to the Great White Czar..."* WarIsGlorious: According to General Zaroff.* WeCanRuleTogether: Zaroff wants Rainsford to hunt with him, and only decides to make him the game after Rainsford refuses.* WickedCultured: General Zaroff. Emphasized in the film.* YoureInsane----!!Tropes particular to the 1932 film:* AffirmativeActionGirl: Eve.* AristocratsAreEvil: Zaroff is changed from a general to a count.* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Russian-sounding gibberish from Zarnoff.* BigNo: By Rainsford at the climax.* {{Blackface}}: A very rare inversion, as the actor playing Ivan the Cossack (Noble Johnson) was actually a black man who wore "whiteface" to play a Cossack. This was easier to do in black-and-white.* CanonForeigner: Eve and Martin, characters that weren't in the novel.* TheChick: Eve, who pretty much does nothing but look pretty.* CharacterTics: Count Zaroff has a tendency to rub his head scar whenever he's excited or thrilled. * DisneyVillainDeath: Zaroff succumbs to his wounds by falling out the window, where his hunting dogs are waiting.* {{Fanservice}}: Provided by Fay Wray.* TheFilmOfTheBook* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: It is implied that Count Zaroff plans to make Eva a SexSlave after killing Rainsford.* GoodScarsEvilScars: Zaroff has a large scar on the side of his skull, attributed to an encounter with a Cape buffalo. In RealLife, Leslie Banks was permanently disfigured fighting in UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne.* HaveAGayOldTime: "That's queer, it's unlocked."* HotterAndSexier: The film, compared with the original story. Sexual deviance is a major theme of the pre-Code movie.** Check out the look of naked lust that Eve gives Rainsford while Zaroff is yammering on in the lounge room.* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: "I'm a hunter, not an assassin!" * LoveInterest: Fay Wray's character was added for the movie version.* SacrificialLamb: Movie-exclusive character Martin serves this purpose. He's a drunk, lazy comic relief character whose only purpose is to display how Zaroff's game works and trigger the plot. * SoleSurvivor: Rainsford is the sole survivor after the yacht he's on wrecks off the shore of Zaroff's island.* TemptingFate: Rainsford, to his friends ''immediately'' before the ship crashes:-->"[[ThereAreTwoKindsOfPeopleInTheWorld This world's divided into two kinds of people]]: the hunter and the hunted.

The Cottage
Ohmygod, I've got malaria
. . . was the first thought that crossed my mind Friday morning, as I sat beneath a tree watching a mistnet, feeling the gradual oncomings of the flu. I'm not too much of a hypochondriac, but I've been told time and again that "if you're not taking antimalarials (which no long-term researcher does, mind you), assume you're coming down with malaria when you begin to feel like you have the flu." A bit of an extreme precaution, I suppose, but better safe than sorry - if left untreated until too late, malaria will cause flu-like symptoms every few months for the rest of one's life. Plain and simple, that would be a pain in the ass. (It would also suck to die from malaria, which is another possibility . . .)
I actually woke up Friday morning feeling fine, with nothing more than a slight grumble in my stomach - something I'm quite used to after a greasy dinner the previous night (if Mpala is any indication, everything is cooked in liters of grease in Africa). Within the hour, however, my slight grumble turned into a fairly pressing need to make a mad dash to

the nearest toilet - also not that unusual since a lot of grease in the diet often necessitates such urgencies.
Confident that I had vanquished the grease-demons residing in my gut, I went about my morning routine and met with Wilson and Godfrey before setting up mistnets to catch Greater Blue-eared Glossy Starlings for the Brain Hormone Project (Phase 2). Since we were netting at the research center that morning, I had the luxury of sitting in a chair, as opposed to on a rock, while watching the mistnet.
I can't recall exactly when, but it was sometime shortly after making myself comfortable in that chair that I began to realize I wasn't feeling quite right. I initially convinced myself it was just a mental issue - I was tired and it was a somewhat chilly morning, and perhaps feeling a bit "off" was simply the justification for wanting nothing more than to crawl back into a warm bed. Or did I want to crawl back into a warm bed because I did not feel well? Hmmm . . . a genuine chicken-or-egg debate. Until I could pinpoint specific symptoms of being ill, I told myself to buck

up and stop being such a sissy, certain that the weaker part of me was trying to use "not feeling well" as an excuse to escape from a morning's work and instead enjoy the lazy warmth of my bed for a few extra hours.
But I did begin to notice symptoms - symptoms that I would generally attribute to the flu: hypersensitive skin, aches, and general malaise. I sat and waited, continuing to watch the net, hoping these little red flags would fade, hoping it was a tired, cold morning that was making me feel this way. But was it really that cold? "Cold" is relative in Africa - the morning was at least 60F, chilly to locals but plenty warm for me to be comfortable. So why was I shivering?
As the symptoms persisted and began to worsen, I decided I'd had enough and closed my nets before retiring to my banda, where I hoped to recover, by virtue of the solace offered by my bed, from whatever malady was affecting me. Sleep was restless, however, and there was no warmth to be found beneath the sheets. For two hours I shivered, drifting in and out of

sleep, occasionally glancing at the clock to discover only minutes had passed since my last short bout of unconsciousness. While looking at the clock one of these times, I noticed the indoor temperature read 75F - yet I was still shaking uncontrollably, even though I was curled in a ball beneath my usually-warm blankets. There was no question - I was sick.
At home, in the US, I would have thought,
Well, damn, there's no helping it . . . here comes the flu
. It's a different story in Kenya, however, where malaria is found virtually throughout the country, prevalent at sea-level and petering out only at higher elevations (such as the mile-high Mpala Research Center). For those of us who opt not to take antimalarial medication (primarily because of the health implications of prolonged usage, such as liver damage), the general rule, as I said before, is to consider flu-like symptoms as the potential onset of malaria. For this reason, I decided it was time to find somebody to whom I could report my condition and request the favor of a ride into Nanyuki for a hospital visit.
Crawling out of bed, I discovered I did not

want to walk - my energy gone, I felt very weak and somewhat lightheaded. I stumbled to the library, where I found Jake and explained to him the series of events that led to how I currently felt. Jake then helped me find a ride while I tried to muster the mental wherewithal to figure out what I should take with me in case I ended up bedridden for a number of days. I snagged some warm clothes (but not an extra change . . . oops), my point-and-shoot digital camera, my phone and charger, and a book (Band of Brothers, by Stephen E. Ambrose) before heading to the administration building to catch my ride. Here, I ended up waiting for approximately 45 minutes - inexcusable, according to Jake, who reamed out various
and administrative personnel for the long wait, citing the fact that had I (or anyone, for that matter) been bitten by a cobra, they would be dead already. Apparently I had to wait for the Mpala school bus to be rescued from getting stuck in the river while being washed before a driver was available (though a vehicle was ready and waiting). Granted I wasn't dying,

dying (doubtful, though I felt like it), so why I took the backburner to a school bus is beyond me.
During the hour-long, bumpy, dusty, goat-, sheep-, and cattle-dodging drive, I stared out the open window, trying to maintain a sense of calm and rational thought (though I was succumbing to a mild delirium). The bone-chilling cold was replaced by a vicious heat throughout my body, and I welcomed the whipping wind against my face, which I'm sure had a blank and ashen stare to those viewing from the outside.
I remember thinking, in between my dazedness, how long it was taking to get there, until we finally bumped through Nanyuki's absurdly potholed streets to the hospital. After inquiring with the nearest staff we could find, we discovered we had arrived just in time for the doctor to go to lunch. Another 45 minute wait. In the meantime, the nurses took my vitals and wrote down my basic information. Removing the glass thermometer from my armpit, the nurse informed me that I had a 39.5C fever, and I tried testing my brain, to see if it was completely fried or

Much, much better, thanks to good care and plenty of medication.
not, by converting that to Fahrenheit. Unable to think (or see, for that matter) completely straight, I managed to figure out that 40C was 104F, so I was probably within a degree of that (I later worked it out to be 103.1F). It made sense why I was struggling to do some simple arithmetic - my brain actually
frying (my normal temp is usually low- to mid-97F). The nurse brought a giant pink M&M and told me it was to make the fever go away, and I devoured it. I felt stupid, I felt slow, I felt horrible - and I wanted all that to "go away" as soon as possible. Finally, they informed me that I would need to provide a stool sample.
Oh, great, I have to poop into a cup
, I lamented inwardly.
There's a first for everything, I guess. Let's just hope it's a big cup.
Well . . . to my shocked dismay, they produced a small plastic container not much larger than a film canister. I was floored. It was inadequate for a urine sample, much less a stool sample. I spent the next agonizing 45 minutes waiting for the doctor in

a feverish stupor on the only chair near reception - the world, and time, proceeding in slow motion - wondering how was I going to poop into that film canister. It just didn't seem possible.
When he finally appeared, Doctor Butt (interesting name for an Indian - well, for anybody, really) invited me into the nearest examination room, and I shuffled in and plopped down on a chair to describe my symptoms and answer an onslaught of questions. I honestly can't recall much of it, though I do remember his verdict: I'd be staying the night.
I'm not one to be squeamish or scared of needles and the like, but as I watched Doctor Butt prepare the cannula and slide it into the vein above my left wrist, I felt myself growing hotter and becoming more lightheaded, feeling like I was on the brink of passing out. Taking one look at me, the doctor ordered a wheelchair to take me up the side ramp, not confident that I could walk myself up the stairs to my room. Then he left.
Must be a busy man
, I thought.
My room was plush. I managed to have just enough

awareness about me to be astonished and impressed, as I staggered from the wheelchair to the bed, to see an en suite bathroom and a TV, in addition to a couch, a lounge chair, and couple beautiful paintings. The room was white, but not stale, and I had a decent view of lush greenery and trees from my second-story window. I've slept in worse (much worse) hotel rooms. This was not bad, by any standards, for a hospital in the middle of Africa. I started to relax.
Then the IV came, and I grew nervous again as I watched the nurse, clearly somewhat of a newbie, fumble with the one-liter dextrose bag while connecting the tube that would run into the cannula in my arm. When it was finally hooked up, I watched in horror as a couple large bubbles began flowing towards my vein, venturing the guess they probably should not be entering my bloodstream.
"Hey, is that okay?" I pointed to the bubbles.
"Oh, fine, fine," she replied and removed a little cap on the cannula. I could feel the hiccup in the flow of fluid, as the air escaped, before it continued again. I didn't like the feeling at all, because it felt like the bubbles were entering my vein via the catheter. "Call us when it's almost gone!" she said pleasantly before disappearing out the door.
For the next half-hour, I dozed lightly, waking up in a jolt every few minutes to watch the bag gradually deflate and sag. I pressed the call button when there was just a little bit left. A minute or two later, two nurses came in and switched the bag for a one-liter bottle, and set the drip going again. This one took slightly longer than the first, and again I alternated between sleep and apprehensive observation of the draining fluid, not sure what would happen if the nurses didn't get to it before it had all disappeared into my body and the fluid was replaced with air.
The third and final one-liter bottle was, I believe, a concoction of antibiotics and saline solution, and took about eight hours to slow-drip. During this time, I slept fitfully, waking because of my fever and frequent visits from various nurses to check on me and my vitals. It appeared my temperature was slowly declining: 38.5C, which was still a fever, but better. I had tea. I slept. I woke up. I went to the bathroom in increasing frequency to relieve myself of the two-plus liters of sugar water recently pumped into my body, dragging the IV stand with me, careful not to let the blood backflow into the tube (though it inevitably happened, making the four or so inches of tube leading into my arm turn a bright red before slowly becoming clear again).
One of the most frequent questions from the nurses was whether or not I had produced a stool sample for them, yet. What a question! I kept saying no, that I wasn't "ready." In all honesty, I was avoiding it like the plague, silently hoping that, by ignoring it, that little film canister might disappear. It didn't. Finally, at about 1530, a nurse told me they needed it by 1600 if the lab was going to get to it today. It took some careful work, but I managed to get the job done surprisingly well. I'll leave it at that.
For the next six hours, until the final IV drip was complete, I dozed, stared blankly at the ceiling, watched TV, and did what I could not to feel miserable, including being as upbeat as possible for the several nurses who came and went throughout the afternoon and evening for check-ups. I ordered beef stew, mashed potatoes, and beans for dinner, only to realize I had absolutely no appetite by the time it arrived, and felt embarrassed when they came to take it away, only about a quarter eaten. I also discovered, from a nice nurse named Ester (who coincidentally worked at Mpala eleven years ago), that I had been placed into the most expensive room in the hospital without being told I had a choice. That explained the sweet digs. It was a treat to be able to watch three channels of TV (though, only one of which was worth watching), so I wasn't about to complain too much, but decided I would move into a room the following day for half the price.
Ester was a riot. She was a smiling, amiable nurse (I suppose they all were, for the most part), and particularly bubbly. When I told her I was American, she excitedly responded that she was leaving for Baltimore, Maryland, at the end of the month. She was excited to visit the States, and possibly look for a job there. She was also looking forward to teaching Americans that "all Africans do not run around barefoot and naked in the bush with machetes and war with one another." I didn't bother telling her she probably wouldn't find too many people who would be startled to hear such news.
I was relieved to finally be able to push the call button when the third liter of fluid snaked its way into me, and have the nurse pull out the IV. Now I could go to the bathroom without dragging the damn IV behind me. I could also finally sleep decently, though I had to be careful not to bump or agitate the cannula still in my left arm.
At first light the next morning, I woke up feeling infinitely better. I felt alive again. I had energy - at least, enough to hold up my book concentrate enough to read. I also had enough of an appetite to bolt down the scrambled eggs, toast, and sausage I ordered that morning. My smile and attempts to be upbeat for the nurses was no longer a façade - I felt genuinely better. Not fully recovered, but well on my way. My fever had broken, and my symptoms were gradually abating: my skin became less sensitive, my headache slowly diminished, and other body aches were only the result of sitting awkwardly. That general malaise - that generally shitty feeling - was disappearing. I was elated.
Despite already having managed to coax a stool sample from me, the nurses were almost uncomfortably interested in my bowel movements. At least once every two visits, I was asked how my diarrhea was - did I have any? How watery/what texture? How many times? I wasn't sure what they wanted to hear, but not wanting to lie, I played it as safely as I could by admitting I still had a bit of "the runs." I feared that the wrong answer would find me hooked up to the IV again to keep me hydrated, and I loathe how constricted and helpless I feel with that thing attached to me.
Finally, sometime after 0900, Doctor Butt arrived with some results to share with me. The blood tests proved negative for malaria - good news. I did, however, have a bad bacterial infection.
What hell does that mean?
I wondered. How did I get it? What was it? How bad is "bad?"
I listened to what Doctor Butt had to tell me. I was a bit disappointed not to learn anything more about this mysterious "bad bacterial infection," other than it meant I had to stay another night in the hospital. As long as I didn't have to deal with any more IV's, I was fine with another day of rest at "The Cottage," which was like an upscale youth hostel with room service. I was actually enjoying it, now.
Doctor Butt was apparently interested in the consistency of my stool, as well. I told him what I told the nurses, trying to make it clear that I had the runs while remaining vague on the details.
"Yes, you see," he replied, "the diarrhea is good at this point, because it will flush your system of the bacteria. That is one of the purposes of the IV."
Oh! So they
me to have diarrhea! Why didn't they just say so?
I decided to elaborate on the specifics.
"Hmmm. Well, see, we don't want you to become dehydrated, or else we'll have to put you on a drip again."
I then managed to provide an explanation as true to fact as I could without giving him reason to stick a tube back in my arm. He was satisfied. No IV. Phew.
After Doctor Butt left, telling me he'd see me again in 24 hours unless my condition deteriorated, I was given soap and a towel for a shower. Then, after doing battle with the knobs that appeared to have no control over water temperature, which was excruciatingly hot, I was moved to another shower down the hall while a male nurse transferred my belongings to another (cheaper) room.
This room, too, was great. The only difference between this and the "VIP Suite" was the lack of a couch, TV, and en suite bathroom. Various paintings of Kenyan birds (including a Superb Starling, how fitting) replaced the bigger scenic paintings. Again, the room was bright (as a corner room, even more light spilled through the windows than in the first), yet didn't have that stale aura I feel is usually associated with the white walls of hospitals. An easy place to spend a day of rest.
I spent almost the entire day reading, devouring "Band of Brothers" (quite interesting to compare and contrast it with my last book, Catch-22). When not reading, I dozed, stared at the ceiling in contemplation, occasionally assessed how I felt, and entertained nurses. I continued to feel better throughout the day, my symptoms all but vanishing. The nurses brought me food, tea, and medication, including a fatty syringe full of antibiotics injected through the cannula. My only complaint was a confused G.I., angry that, with this tremendous input of antibiotics, I was killing all the good bacteria along with the bad. Otherwise, I was almost glad I had come to the hospital - it was pleasantly relaxing.
A slightly unexpected visit from Kayna was a treat. She had said yesterday that she might stop by (hopefully to pick me up), but I figured she never made it into town, or had heard I was to stay another night. Much to my delight, she did make it into town, with cookies and finger-bananas nonetheless. I was most appreciative.
Because I had my cell phone, I was able to take calls from and talk to Shan and, later, my parents. It was great to have the attention and care, and definitely helped my recovery. Dad made me nervous, though, in his perplexity at a systemic bacterial infection and his assessment that they could be very dangerous. I just hoped that my feeling better every minute was a good indication that mine was not very serious.
The one and only thing I truly regretted not grabbing, though I considered it, before leaving for the hospital . . . was my binoculars. Feeling well enough to wander around, I strolled the hospital's perimeter, admiring the grounds. They were quite green and lush, with a small streamlet and associated riparian area bordering one side. Large trees dotted the compound, which was also strewn with a somewhat haphazard garden of trees and flowering shrubs. I saw and heard birds I couldn't recognize without my bins, and was sorry I didn't have them with me.
I cruised through the rest of the day, happily eating my meals and conversing with the nurses in between reading and relaxing, continually feeling like I was improving. After another decent night's sleep, I decided the Nanyuki Cottage Hospital had done its job, and was glad to hear that Doctor Butt was going to release me. Jake arrived shortly after 0900, and we spent about an hour shooting the breeze while waiting for Doctor Butt to show up with his final instructions. Turns out that, because I had started the antibiotics before providing them with my stool sample, it was too difficult to make a culture to determine what, exactly, the bacteria was that had wreaked havoc throughout my body. As it was, the doctor was confident that I was on my way to a full recovery and told me to continue to get some rest and finish up my cycle of antibiotics. He didn't seem to have any concern about my prognosis, so I decided not to, either.
Ester returned to exchange e-mails (she was more than excited to have an American pen-pal) and say goodbye. Then she explained to Jake her visit to the United States, saying again how she was looking forward to educating random strangers that "Africans do not live nakedly in cages and eat raw meat and kill each other" (her idea of what the Western world thinks of Africa grew continually more convoluted and absurd each time she brought it up). Jake was at first quite taken aback, but ended up laughing at the comment, and reassured her nobody thought that. I found her misconception of American misconceptions pretty amusing, too. We had a good laugh about it.
I was given my final antibiotic injection, had the cannula removed, said my thank yous and goodbyes, gathered my things, picked up my medication (5 days' worth of Cipro, some anti-vomiting pills, stomach cramp pills, and antidehydration salts), and we left.
We made it to Mpala just before lunch. I spent the rest of my day relaxing, reading, catching up on e-mails. I met briefly with Wilson and Godfrey and told them I'd be recuperating for the next day or two. I'll be back at it in no time.

Ty, I was sorry to hear you weren't well. Glad to hear it all came out in the wash though. Or should I say sample? Not a funny topic but as usual your narrative left me chuckling. Hope you avoid more trips to the cottage.

Me too!
I also ended up in Nanyuki Cottage Hospital in 2001, when I came down with what turned out to be a nasty bout of food poisoning while visiting Meru.. Like Tyler I was convincinced I had Malaria, but thank goodness It wasn't. I think I was seen by the same doctor, though I think his name was Baht, not Butt - I may be wrong about that. I've heard from friends in Nanyuki that he died recently. As Tyler says, the rooms at the hospital are suprisingly good ( I even got a DVD player and some films provided) and I found the treatment of very good quality. If you're taken ill in this area, this is the place to head for!

Thanks for the anecdote!
Thanks for the anecdote, Graham! Glad you also had a good experience there. One of a million wild and wonderful memories I brought home with me after my 6 months in Kenya. Very sad to hear that Dr. Baht passed away if that is indeed true. All the best, Tyler

Dr Butt is still alive!!!!!!
Hey,thanks for the good comments about Cottage hospital,am proud to be associated with the Hospital. I joined the hospital on 4th July 2007 as anesthetist and found Dr. Butt and he is still the Doctor in-charge as late as today the 25th sep. 2012. He is still strong even went up Mt. Kenya last year up to the summit. He likes his job and has worked in Cottage for over 25years and still going. I liked your story coz it reminded me of Esther the nurse, i joined as she was on her way out to the states, and for sure she was so excited about that no wonder she needed a friend to identify with of American origin, she was no doubt a good person but had her own way of looking at things. Please be free to visit Cottage again and enjoy not only the good environment - natural tress and bushes,sounds of birds and flowing river nearby but also good services in the slopes of Mt. Kenya.The best center for the management of high altitude sickness and snake bites in addition to other medical services in the region. It has grown and it is still growing,join us in our good course in making if even a better place for all. Enock resident anesthetist Nanyuki Cottage Hospital

So glad to hear that Dr. Butt is alive and well and that the Cottage Hospital is going strong! Thank you for your comments and updates - it makes me most happy to hear that all is well at The Cottage :)

The EPA has changed its policy on corn-ethanol blends, and states may soon change their formula 15 percent ethanol. The problem with that? There are fears might void your warranty or damage your car. Also, from the article:
"The only group that really seems to like the new rule is the ethanol lobby.
"'We've force fed a fuel into every American's car that benefits a few thousand corn farmers and ethanol refiners at the expense of virtually every other American,' EWG's vice president of governmental affairs, Scott Faber, told Mother Jones.Read more »
Federal officials have given energy and mining companies permission to pollute aquifers in more than 1,500 places across the country, releasing toxic material into underground reservoirs that help supply more than half of the nation's drinking water.Read more »
The Environmental Protection Agency is going to require all consumers to buy at least four gallons of gasoline from certain gas pumps after the new E15 ethanol-gasoline blend is introduced into the market.Read more »
A leaked EPA document reveals that the agency allowed the widespread use of a bee-toxic pesticide, despite warnings from EPA scientists.' Now environmentalists and bee keepers are calling for an immediate ban of the pesticide clothianidin, sold by Bayer Crop Science under the brand name Poncho."Read more »
Hide your kids
, hide your wife, and hide your husband. Bed bugs are biting everybody out there – in recent weeks invading the headquarters of CNN, Elle magazine and a popular movie theater in Times Square.
While worst in the Northeast and especially New York City, blood-sucking bed bugs are making a remarkably rapid resurgence worldwide.Read more »

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is classifying milk as oil because it contains a percentage of animal fat, which is a non-petroleum oil.
The Hesperia farmer and others would be required to develop and implement spill prevention plans for milk storage tanks. The rules are set to take effect in November, though that date might be pushed back.
Amish farmers are facing growing scrutiny for agricultural practices that the federal government sees as environmentally destructive. Their cows generate heaps of manure that easily washes into streams and flows onward into the Chesapeake Bay. And the EPA, charged by President Obama with restoring the bay to health, is determined to crack down. The farmers have a choice: change the way they farm or face stiff penalties.Read more »
EPA staffers say they were forced to ignore scientific data and lacked crucial information needed to fully protect the public.Read more »
But while administration officials have long said they prefer Congress take action on climate change, the economic official who spoke with reporters Tuesday night made clear that the EPA will not wait and is prepared to act on its own.
And it won't be pretty.
"If you don't pass this legislation, then ... the EPA is going to have to regulate in this area," the official said. "And it is not going to be able to regulate on a market-based way, so it's going to have to regulate in a command-and-control way, which will probably generate even more uncertainty."Read more »

Riker: I could have saved that girl.
Picard: You were
right not to try
And what were the consequences that would have happened if Riker had brought that girl to life? I don't know. Maybe a slight gratification and sense of happiness that he helped a little girl live? There wasn't any "The girl or your crew!" situation going on where there were things at stake. Just some grumpy old man telling him that power corrupts and doing things easily is a sin!

Christopher Kimball: "He may be the sole person associated with food journalism to remark, 'There's something about pleasure I find annoying.'"
"Cooking isn't creative, and it isn't easy." A NYT Magazine piece on Christopher Kimball, Cook's Illustrated, and his franchise (America's Test Kitchen, Cook's Country, et al.). "At the core of C.I.'s M.O. are two intrepid observations Kimball has made about the innermost psychology of home cooks. Namely that they 1) are haunted by a fear of humiliation, and 2) will not follow a recipe to the letter, believing that slavishly following directions is an implicit admission that you cannot cook... What the magazine essentially offers its readers is a bargain: if they agree to follow the recipes as written, their cooking will succeed and they will be recognized by family and friends as competent or even expert in the kitchen... The bargain further holds that the peppercorn-crusted filet of beef or butterscotch-cream pie will turn out not only in C.I.'s professional kitchen, with its All-Clad pans and DCS ranges, but also on a lowly electric four-top, using a dull knife and a $20 nonstick skillet."

Arrhythmia, also known as irregular heartbeat, can be caused by many factors, including coronary artery disease, electrolyte imbalances and injury. More »
Although heart failure is not a specific disease, it is a serious condition in which the heart fails to maintain enough blood flow to the body. Heart failure can be caused by a heart attack, clogged blood vessels, high blood pressure, diabetes, or an infection. More »
Coronary arteries along the surface of the heart supply the heart muscle with oxygen. As heart disease develops, the coronary arteries become narrow due to a build-up of plaque, which is made up of fats, dead cells and other materials. This raises the risk of heart attack. More »
The heart valves control the flow of blood between the heart chambers and between the left ventricle and the major artery that supplies the body's blood vessels with blood-containing oxygen. Some valve defects can be treated with medicine, while others may be repaired or replaced surgically. More »

Posted by
I have recently been diagnosed with an "inflammatory poly-arthritis". I went to the rheumatologist based on symptoms, and family history. All at once my hands, feet and knees started hurting. I am so tired, all I want to do is sleep. I am normally an active 30 year old. I am a firefighter/paramedic. I am in the gym daily. My hands hurt so bad I can't lift, grip, or even open a water bottle. My knees hurt bad enough to make climbing stairs a chore. My job is impossible when my symptoms are severe. I started an anti-inflammatory diet in April. I have had good results with it. I'm taking curamin and fish oils daily. My rheumatologist started me on Plaquenil this week. I'm just looking for ideas to help stay positive. Being so tired all the time, and the amount of pain I am in is taking its toll on me mentally/emotionally. I just want to cry all of the time. I fear aim sinking into a depression. Also I was hoping for feedback from other people who have tried to control symptoms with diet. Did it work for you? I am curious how sensitive my body has become to foods I'm not eating. Last night I ate two bites of cake and 1/3 cup of pasta... Today I am miserable with pain. Can my symptoms today truly be from that small amount of 'bad food', or is that coincidental?
All thoughts and opinions are truly welcomed.

(Adds comments from De Jager starting in second paragraph.)
Sept. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The German, Dutch and Finnish finance ministers will meet on Sept. 6 in Berlin to discuss the euro-area debt crisis as a Finnish demand for collateral threatens to delay a second Greek bailout.
"We will discuss how to go forward with this crisis and the future," Dutch Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager told reporters in The Hague today. "It's about fighting this fire, but more importantly, how do we prevent such a fire."
Finland's demand for collateral from Greece as a condition for contributing to a second rescue package has triggered calls for similar treatment from countries including Austria and the Netherlands. De Jager said an agreement on collateral shouldn't take long to reach.
"I see room for a solution; there are proposals on the table to discuss," De Jager said. "I think it will be possible to provide equal treatment for creditors without the disadvantage of the proposed deal between Finland and Greece, which is unthinkable because it uses extra money from the EFSF to provide collateral to Finland."
The 440 billion-euro ($628 billion) European Financial Stability Facility is the euro region's rescue fund.

Ok folks...I need someone to talk sense into me...
I'm starting to give some serious thought to trading my 'Stroke in for a decent used F-150. My truck has been causing a lot of nightmares recently with the problems it's been having. It ran fine for six months after the heads, oil cooler, egr got replaced and it ended up at the dealer about 3 weeks ago for surging problems. They found a bad BARO sensor and a bad PCM, took darn near 2 weeks to get it back. Three days later, it was back in the shop because the tech at the dealer didn't realize the new PCM had the '03 program in it, which caused the truck to die at idle.
So here I am...I've got just over 250 miles on the truck since the last repair and it seems to be running fine. I'm 2k out of the factory warranty and am convinced it won't go back to the local dealer again for work (I'll take it elsewhere).
I'm also convinced that if the truck starts having problems again, I just need to get rid of it. I put a Livewire in it 3 weeks ago that I'm afraid to plug in again...in fear that it fried my computer the first time.
If I unload the truck, I figure I'll trade it in so that the next owner can't hunt me down...they'll just blame the problems on the dealer
Like I said, someone PLEASE talk some sense in to me before I do something stupid, like trade my diesel in for a gas...
I will do my best!! Hey don't trade that sucker in for a gasser!!!! In all seriousness don't make a rash decision based on what has just happend. If you really like your diesel truck then hopefully the string of bad luck has come to and end and your good to go
WHOA WHOA, easy Jim let's think this thing thru some more!! Let's not start throwing that G word around in here!! If the truck's running good now i would wait a little bit more before pulling the trigger. If it winds up taking a crap again i would still think you would be better off with another PSD. JMO.
So, there I was...driving home from work (early...)
About 5 miles from the office slowing for a red light, the truck darn near quit, but recovered at idle. 5 miles later as I was slowing for another light, the darn thing felt like it was going to explode! The engine was "surging" (or chattered, depends on you) between 500-1200 RPM, very rapidly, when I had the foot on the brake, and felt like it would die at any minute. I threw the trans into Neutral and held my foot on the gas, just to calm the idle down and keep it from dying in traffic.
A mile later, it started to run fine again...pulled into the driveway and it idled perfectly. Popped the hood and found nothing abnormal...let it idle for 5 minutes and never hiccupped.
Mind you, this IS NOT the first time this truck has done this, thus my original post. I was going to drive it up to South Dakota tomorrow, but will now be taking my wife's Expedition because I don't want to break down on the side of the road somewhere in Missouri or Iowa on the 1600 mile trip.
When I get back from my Xmas vacation, I'll be taking it to one of the most recommended diesel shops in Warner Robins, GA (Calhoun Auto). If they can't fix it, I'll be trading this thing in on something else...and I hope it ain't an F-150.
Any ideas as to what's causing this "surge" and rough idle? I'd bet an injector, but Ford says that everything is fine and it's NOT throwing any codes.
Hmmm... well if you trade it, trade fer another PSD!
That would be ideal, but I sure as heck won't be trading for another 6.0 with all the problems I've been having. Might have to search high and low for a good, used 7.3 with fairly low mileage. But I do like the looks of them 05 and up F-150's!
My buddy has an 05 Crew F-150 and he gets 13 mpg with that pig! I love the looks of the fords, but their gas engines suck!!
ICP sensor maybe? A friend at work had the same issue (surging/ revving on its own) and it turned out to be a bad ICP sensor.
you'll hate yourself if you get a gasser. i know you've had soe issues with your truck, but remember they're not all like that, there are MANY people who are perfectly happy with their six liters, and i've run my 04 HARD HARD HARD and it's never given me a problem.
if you absolutely MUST get rid of it, consider a newer PSD, but even though i hate to say this, i'd get a DMAX before i get a gasser, even though the new F150 is a nice looking truck you'll be having power withdrawals and kicking yourself for getting out of a turbo diesel..
few things: i never got a code when my injectors were crappy, but when i put new ones it ran like a top, so dont think that no code means no problem.
with all the work done (as long is not the same problem repeating itself) you've got a good truck to work with and lots of new stuff to last a while..
LIVEWIRE is poop, that's no secret, but i've flashed my PCM probably a hundred times and never had it screw up with my SCT>
Do not get a gasser FYI ford came out with a new extended warranty you can purchase too. Talk to your dealer about it
