Dear Listers, This email came my way from a friend. Scary indeed.
>Hi guys, read this and note that this has been verified by not only the >person who sent me this, but by the author as well as a medical student from >Brisbane who knows this friend of mine! >Regards >Kate >__________________________________________________________________ > >This is a truly sad story! And I am completely horrified at the thought. > >Urban Legends ....don't go to parties with people you don't know. > >THIS IS A TRUE STORY, it has been confirmed, the Medical Centre phone number >at the end of this story is real! A friend in Australia rang to confirm it, >as he did not believe the story to begin with either. > >This guy went out on a Saturday night a few weeks ago to a party. He was >having a good time and had a couple of beers and some girl seemed to like >him and invited him to go to another party. He quickly agreed and decided >to go along with her. She took him to a party in some apartment and they >continued to drink and even got involved with some drugs (unknown). The >next thing he knew, he woke up completely naked in a bathtub filled with >ice. He was still feeling the effects of the drugs, but look around to see >if he was alone and where the hell he was. He happened to look down at this >chest, which had "CALL 000 OR YOU'LL DIE" written on it with lipstick. He >saw a phone was on a stand next to the bathtub, so he picked it up and >dialled. >He got through and explained to the EMS operator what the situation was and >that he didn't know where he was, what he took or even why he was really >calling other than that he was told to. > >The operator advised him to get out of the tub. He did, and he appeared >normal so she told him to check his back, either in a mirror or by feeling. >He did and found two 9 inch slits on his lower back. She told him to get >back into the tub immediately, and they sent a rescue team over. > >Apparently after being examined, he found out more of what had happened. >His kidneys had been stolen. They were worth roughly $10,000.00 each on the >black market. (I was even unaware that this type of thing existed). >Several guesses are in order: > >The second party was a sham, the people involved had to be at least medical >students and it was not just recreation drugs he was given. Regardless, he >is currently in the hospital on a life support, awaiting spare kidneys. The >university of Sydney in conjunction with the Royal Prince Alfred hospital is >conducting tissue research to match the victim with a donor. > >I wish to warn you about a new crime ring that is targeting business >travellers. This ring is well organised and well funded, has skilled >personnel and is currently operating in most major cities around the world >and recently more active in Sydney. > >The crime begins when a business traveller goes to a lounge (this is >happening in top hotels even) for a drink at the end of the work day. A >person in the bar walks up as they sit along and offers to buy them a drink. >The last thing the traveller remembers until they wake up in a hotel room >bathtub, their body submerged to their neck in ice, is sipping that last >drink. There is a note taped to the wall instructing them not to move and >call 000. A phone is on the small table next to the bathtub for them to >use. The business traveller calls 000 who have been quite familiar with >this crime. The business traveller is instructed by the 000 operator to >very slowly and carefully reach behind them and feel if there is a tube >protruding from their back. The business traveller find the tube and >answers "YES". The 000 operator tells them to remain still, having already >sent paramedics to help. The operator knows that both of the traveller's >kidneys have been harvested. This is not a scam or out of a science fiction >novel. It is real. It is documented and conformable. If you travel or >someone close to you travels, please be careful. > >Sadly, this is very true A friend's husband is a Sydney EMT and they have >received alerts regarding this crime ring. It is to be taken very >seriously. The daughter of another friend's friend, who is a fire-fighter, >had this happen to her. Skilled doctors are performing these crimes! >(which, by the way, have been highly noted in the Brisbane area). >Additionally, the military has received alerts regarding this. This story >blew me away. > >I REALLY WANT AS MANY PEOPLE TO SEE THIS AS POSSIBLE, SO PLEASE BOUNCE THIS >TO WHOEVER YOU CAN. > >Michele Shafer DML/Lab >Administration >Medical Manager Research & Development, >99 Missenden Road >Camperdown, Sydney 2000 >Tel: (02) 95156111 >Fax: (02) 94621505 > >Please forward this to everyone you know. >Kylie Clayton, Business Assistant Technical Services 81-1514 ------------------------------ Christian von Wechmar Stellenbosch, South Africa [email protected] ------------------------------ -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
