1) It's medically necessary. At least according to the American Medical Association, both APAs, the NASW, etc.

Um... help me here.

Um, did you look at Venus' happy response to her little dance? I am guessing the family is probably ok with it. And since its their sister who was murdered, your concern-trolling isn't necessary.

There are 5 general surgeons who work at my hospital. All but one are native English speakers. The fifth surgeon (we'll call him Juan) can communicate quite effectively with patients and colleagues but like many people who learn ESL later in life he does make some grammatical mistakes.

I'm a physician. My husband stays at home and cares for his elderly parents (who live with us and we support) as well as our home/dog etc. I make well into six figures. He makes $0 annually.

Sorry. I think he's a friend of Dorothy. ;)

1) Total. Environmental. Control. I work nights and so I have to sleep when it's not dark and quiet outside. You should sleep in darkness (even a nightlight can eff with your sleep), at the right temp (generally 65-70 F), and with quiet.

Just noticed, he has a circumcision song. You may be onto something.

You gotta keep going. In addition to seeing the most embarrassing white boy ever, you get to see his homie the most embarrassing black kid ever.

I work 3-4 nights a week in an ER. I generally consume 2 bawls energy drinks nightly (generally the rootbeer - mmmmmm). I also have not had even a cavity in the last decade despite having some genetically effed up teeth. Prior to this I was spotty to bad about dental hygiene but I turned over a new leaf. Now I brush…

In a civil society we have a number of rights. One of these is the right to be safe. However there is no right to be comfortable.

Well I have been needing to get some new slacks and button-downs for work. Generally I go to a different store, but JCP's epic handling of these homophobic harpies has motivated me to go to their store first this time.

Perhaps this is the single biggest reason that I'm happy to be gay. I don't have to ever worry about being classed with these douche-nozzles. Well that and despite the fact that my non-platonic interest in women is so close to absolute zero that a tablespoon of it could air-condition all of NYC in a heat wave, I get…

You reap what you sow, Bro.

My mom says she was drugged up and just abbreviated it because she was tired

1) And like I said, when they fire you in a huff take a second to thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for such good fortune.

No it didn't. All TX did was cap the pain and suffering. The did nothing to regulate attorney's predatory behavior. You do realize that typical contingency fees are 25-40% of the total award. Average awards are a little over $500,000 - and the patient rarely gets more than half. In addition to the Attorney's fee there…

From a man who actually changed his name legally to escape an abysmal choice by his parents, may I offer several great rules to avoid pain for your offspring:

"For every anecdote about some doctor that got sued 'unfairly', there's at least 10 (probably closer 100) stories of patients who could or should've sued but didn't."

"I was too shocked to question why they needed my picture to object."
