J. Michael Straczynski, for all his positive aspects, has just shown such…. lack of good stuff in his Spidey run.

Dumbass Spidey

I love reading your medical reviews. Some things are nitpicks, but this one’s a doozy. You really show this comic to be the cheap, ill-informed hack-work it is. All the points you make about the EMT and the ER are so incredibly obvious. I love comics and it makes me a bit sad to see writers like JMS tossing this kind of cliched nonsense out and getting praised for it.

I haven’t been following comics in a while, but didn’t Peter Reveal he’s Spider-man, and ergo that Mary Jane is the wife of Spider-man & that Aunt May is the Aunt of Spider-man, or did they ret-con/mass hypnosis/it was all a plot to catch nazis the situation?

How do hospitals handle anonymous patients? Are patients fingerprinted for future reference? Sure, May was probably printed when she resided with the Avengers…
So, is May guilty of anything, or will she be discharged?

I’d like to think HIPAA (a personal assistant’s nightmare!) is waived in the Marvel U., but in case it isn’t you could always speculate that Aunt May has been to that hospital before (goodness knows she’s had enough hospitalization incidents!) and they have an authorization form on file in her by-now-extensive records (and possibly even that the doctor recognized MJ from previous visits).

While I’m glad to see someone finally went and did what we’ve all been thinking about, Aunt May’s survival suggests she should be listed in the next Marvel Handbook as having a healing factor similar to Wolverine’s. Of course, I’d prefer to find her entry in the next Marvel Handbook of the Dead.
