Let’s not have Jillian Michaels on anymore…. She sucks, has nothing to say and talks over everyone…

Scary. This made me instantly more compassionate. Was never a fun, but pulling for him now.

Wow, I had no idea he went through that much flatlining four times and still pulling through? That’s not just strength, that’s something beyond. Wishing him a full and steady recovery, and massive respect for sharing such a raw, personal battle. Hope he gets back to doing what he loves soon.

Same thing happened to me, just a month earlier. I’m still in the hospital. Getting a transplant is a major lifestyle change. Good luck Ben! It will get easier over time.

In other news, @cnn.com's Scott Jennings will wish he could die four times when he's wasting away in a Salvadoran gulag because Laura Loomer tattled on him.
