I made this up on the spot. And it got me the job.

Creepy stalkers aside, I can see how this would be nice. A seatmate who thinks you're the devil incarnate makes for an uncomfortable trip.

Seriously? What doctor or therapist friends their patient on facebook?

"Why can't they fucking talk right?"

If a person is having a seizure from hypoglycemia they cannot be woken up - cat or no cat. If that ever happens call 911 immediately.

Douchie rich prick jokes aside... Props to the Hellenic Air Force Rescue Team. You have to have balls the size of the Parthenon to do that for a living.

Maybe not. However in my experience taking care of their children in the ER is that they tend to be the dumber of parents as a whole. They are the ones who come convinced that their child needs x,y,z tests or treatments when they are totally un-called for. They googled their kids chest pain and think their healthy 8…

"since the science is not 100% on the link between vaccinations and health problems"

Purebred dogs are not all stupid. The people who breed and buy them are though.

Actually as someone who takes care of many insured and uninsured patients - both as an ER physician and a volunteer at a community clinic that serves mostly publicly insured (medicaid and medicare) and uninsured patients - my experience is the exact opposite.

"As I understand it, it is illegal to charge a different price to someone with insurance as opposed to someone without insurance."

"What You Say Is Private"

You do realize the ridiculously low amounts of drugs one has to be carrying to be charged with drug trafficking? And you do realize that being charged with a crime is not the same as being convicted of it?

If the custodial parent is in jail, the children would most definitely go to the other parent who has partial custody: ESPECIALLY if the custodial parent is in jail for contempt that involves refusing to allow the other parent his visitation. It's not like Mom refuses to give the kids up and her parents get them when…

I don't diagnose or treat myself. I agree with the saying that a physician who treats himself has a fool for a patient.

I think the article is misleading. It should say: 1:10 doctors admit to lying in the past year, 9:10 doctors lie about the fact that they are not lying. I mean seriously.... does anyone not lie (especially if you consider lying to include stretching the truth). Hell, if nothing else its a lot more professional to say…

Does this mean blind and/or deaf women can't get an abortion?

I don't really care about the gender issue.... but there are several things here that are kinda fucked. And they could apply either way. Its the same if the genders are reversed and mom is the coke dealer.

Thankfully I don't have to work at the local University, but I do take care of numerous kidults as patients in the local community ER. Holy-fucking-shit-on-a-stick. I am a hippy pacifist and everything, but I swear to FSM I want to stab some of those parents. Their worthless entitled spawn are bad enough, but the…
