Don't get irked when fictional characters act like real people. You may hie yourself promptly to the doctor when something seems wrong, but that is not the way the whole world works. Far too many people put it off or ignore it for days ... weeks ... months ... thinking either whatever it is will get better on its own or that going in will just tell them something they *really* don't want to know and by not knowing it it will make it not be true. So (literarily and re: Angel) add in the "facts" that vames don't get sick and that there was the drug being injected by the critter so he wasn't operating at full capacity, and I don't think his inaction was all that egregious.
Interesting having Lindsay back. Dave and I were discussing what's up with him and Eve and we have several theories ... be fun to see what happens next! - Rose
