[Magdalen] Prayers for Keith

[Jay Weigel]

"Mostly when radiologists are asked what they think, they generally think
there is another appropriate investigation that could earn them a lot more

Truer words were never spoken! I am glad the diagnosis turned out to be no

been caused by something as simple as a virus or even a drug reaction. I
wouldn't lay it all to diet/alcohol though he will likely have to be
abstemious for awhile/
