hesdeadjim001's Journal: Cookies

Was reading the journal of my friend, Matthew, and came across this link: http://www.harley.com/writing/her-last-cookie/ Not sure if this is true, but it's scary. Especially the part about the doctor. I hope this is one of those urban legend thingies.

I find it hard to believe that this person passed out from a diabetic attack and was allowed to leave the hospital after a couple of hours in an ER. In that situation, (certainly if she were my patient) she would have been admitted at least overnight for insulin drip and management.

Also, if she passed out with the journal in her hand, how on earth did the B&B owners not know she had written in it?

That is what I thought. Thanks for reinforcing that... :-)

I'll second what Bethanie said. It's also far, far too articulate for a mere journal entry or suicide note, certainly not of a person who's supposedly so despondent and quite possibly seriously ill (diabetics who don't have their blood sugar under control usually don't have an easy time thinking straight). I also hardly think that a oh-so-chipper B&B would leave a journal like that lying around. This ain't exactly Gideon's Bible...

There is also of course the fact that the bottom of the page links to "
