Peter Jackson Hospitalized w/ Stomach Ulcer

An anonymous reader writes "The Hobbit author JRR Tolkien suffered from a perforated ulcer before dying in 1973. Now today, New Zealander Sir Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and soon-to-be-director of the two Hobbit movies, was hospitalized with a perforated stomach ulcer, and underwent surgery. This is only expected to slightly delay the filming of The Hobbit, and he's expected to make a full recovery."

Re:Ulcers don't kill anymore

[Low Ranked Craig]

Ulcers are predominately caused hy the bacteria H. Pylori http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori

This bacteria can cause genetic changes in the stomach lining which lead to stomach cancer. I had the bacteria about 10 years ago, and the cocktail of antibiotics they give you for treatment is a nauseous nightmare.
