because she didn't know how much more than she was her male counterparts were making.

My hobby is to build a Hobby Lobby in the lobby of Michael's, where I sell stuff cheaper than Hobby Lobby, so that I can afford my REAL hobby, which is to dispense free birth control as an ironic statement about Hobby Lobby, naked except for my Scalia wig.

And though he's pro-life, he still supports a woman's decision to make her own medical choices.

Admit it. The "penis exoskeleton" is dead on.

They need their own festival. Bro-ing Man.

And I would like to clarify that I don't consider myself a vaccine expert, as I've only studied immunology at the undergraduate level. I DO, however, consider myself scientifically literate. As such, I rely on the peer-reviewed primary literature on the topic. Knowing how to analyze the methods and statistics sections…

THANK YOU. It is the responsibility of the physicians to protect and promote public health and safety, and it is the responsibility of the medical researchers to ensure that vaccinations are safe and effective. The results are in, the research has been done, and it is clear: Vaccines are safe.

So I want to start out by saying that I totally agree with you - this is terrible application of science, and since the study was very publicly discredited, there's really no excuse for her statement about vaccines and autism.

even though she knows there's no actual proof that the MMR vaccine causes autism, allergies or other diseases, "anecdotally," she's seen otherwise.

Fingers in mouth to "clear the airway" can quickly result in very mangled or lost fingers depending on the injury or situation... :P

Yea dude we all knew that ok? Way to state the obvious!

So wait, he wants STATE-FUNDED PREGNANCY TESTS AT BARS but opposes government-funded birth control?!

That's what happens when you take a baby's diaper off.

As I pointed out below, almost any combination of the drugs in our arsenal can be used for either sedation OR general anesthesia. It's all in how the drugs are administered (i.e., dosage, timeframe, route, etc.), not necessarily what drugs are used.

Typically, sedation differs from general anesthesia not in that different drugs are used, but in that different doses are used to allow the patient to continue breathing spontaneously without any assistive airway devices. I can give a patient enough of the drugs you cite to allow them to continue breathing, but also…

Yes, it carries greater risk, and if it's true that this patient was otherwise healthy and did not have a history of being a difficult intubation or have a documented difficult airway, then general anesthesia would be unnecessary. That said, it's up to the provider to make that ultimate decision. I wasn't there, and I…

If she had a respiratory arrest from oversedation that led to cardiac arrest (most probable cause given her age), she almost certainly has an anoxic brain injury and is unlikely to 'wake up' or be able to comprehend anything she'll hear again.
