Ulcer researchers have often suspected that perforations in the stomach lining were the result of stress caused by humiliation and shame. recent theories about bacterial infection have reduced the psychological hypotheses. That is, until the case of former first lady Barbara Bush and her ulcerated stomach lining.
The blood cells that make up the immune system are called T cells because they resemble the 20th letter of the alphabet. When Mrs Bush was examined for a painful ulcer that caused her hospitalization recently, doctors discovered a mysterious phenomenon. The lines of the perforation formed an almost perfect W on the ultra sound of the former first lady.
When radiologists consulted Presidential experts the enigmatic ulcer gave up its secret: " The lines of the stomach perforation clearly conform to the many disasters of this poor woman's son the President", offered Ulcer specialist, Dr Holey Moley, " You can trace the horrific path of worst President ever in the traumatized gut of his long suffering mother. There's the stolen election rift, the Katrina pustule, the 9-11 chasm and the intense scar of the Iraq Debacle. The strong old lady withstood the onslaught of a completely failing son without medical intervention until the second Great Depression. This was more than Momma Bush could endure and the poor woman ended up with a lengthy hospital stay and an ulcer that peaked for an unprecedented third time !!"
