"Woman taken off cruise shipA passenger was taken off a Carnival cruise ship on its way to a seven-day Caribbean cruise and brought ashore in Miami at about 5:30 p.m. Sunday for treatment of a rash, a spokesman for the Coast Guard said.The ship, Paradise, was two to three miles off the coast when the passenger, identified only as an Indian woman believed to be in her mid 30s, was taken to Northshore Medical Center in Miami Beach, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Henry Twist.The Coast Guard got involved because someone on the ship was afraid hospitals along the Paradise's itinerary would not be able to treat the woman, Twist said.He did not know where the ship was coming from or how long it had been at sea.According to Carnival's website, the Paradise -- billed as the world's first no-smoking cruise ship -- sets sail from the Port of Miami-Dade at 4 p.m. every Sunday."
She can only have just commenced her cruise. She must have known about it before embarking, and it must have been bad enough for her to seek almost immediate medical advice. So why did she embark and not seek advice beforehand? Surely it must be more than a "rash" to warrant being taken off??

Yes, she had a splinter in her index finger and a bit of 'sleep' in her right eye too!

and why not? You too can read The Toronto Star!
I check out The Sunday Post sometimes!

Strange things happen! I just received an e-mail from a friend in Scotland - she ate Walnut Cake and within a couple of hours had developed a really bad rash all over her legs and torso - itches like hell she tells me -it's being checked out by her GP.
sread, I suppose you have difficulty understanding why people read anything other than The Sun?
O.K. so what snappy headline would the Sun use for the "Rash" story? Come up with a good one and you can retain your job!
