I’m a physician and I think HIPAA (patient confidentially laws) are way too onerous and many times interfere with healthcare, but this is absolutely horrible. If I worked in that hospital, I would make sure those employees are not only fired but permanently blacklisted from working in healthcare, and hopefully there…

I have a background in medicine and research and I feel there is a flaw in the conclusions reached based on the studies cited.

This is such an excellent phrase. How is the commentariot not elevating this

I’m a Denver fan so I’ve watched a ton of games.... he sometimes makes a big play in the first 2 quarters, but by the fourth he is like an Aboriginal Bushman who has chased its prey for days to the point of exhaustion and then it strikes. Time and time again he comes up with HUGE plays in the last 5 minutes of games.…

The speed at which he closed out on Wilson was insane... I probably would have wet my pants if any object lasered in on me and pounced like that.

I am a long time Broncos fan and obviously Manning has turned the franchise around but watching the little things, I don’t think he’s a team player. I understand that any athlete wants to be tough and play through injuries, but he has cost his team the game and came close multiple times this year to losing games…

You are wrong about 9. I went to see Queenryche a few years ago and I was so pumped for the encore because thought they were saving Silent Lucidity for that. They didn’t play it. I was devastated

I’m late to reading this article but great work! One thing you should have clarified about that 30% reduction in cardiovascular events is that I’m sure a. that is a relative risk reduction, not absolute, b. cardiovascular events are fairly meaningless... mortality is really the only important outcome. I have been…

Nice article. I am an internist and will interject my 2 cents here. You did a nice job of summarizing the prevailing recommendations, unfortunately these recommendations have very little evidence to support them (not your fault). The HDL hypothesis has been falling out of favor for a few years now as raising HDL…

I’m a regular doctor... I am constantly blown away by how committed nurses are to their patients. It actually taught me a lot coming out of med school and even residency when young doctors are trained how to compete and impress superiors over truly empathizing with patients. Love it x 10

One thing that is technically not correct was that the announcers kept saying that inning had 5 outs. Had Andrus gotten Martin out in the first place, there would have been NO play at third base for him to make his second error on Pompey who was running for Martin... you can’t get 2 outs on Martin. He still made two…

I live in the DC and mine is terrific. I probably get about 20 channels.... the basic network one and a bunch of random ones. It does not need to be near a window... I had it in a basement and just laid it on the back of a sofa and did fine. Obviously the DC area has very local signals and minimal hills but I think…

Great article. I’m a physician and I tell almost all my patients to do yoga. Normal life and even exercise does not do much to address our shoulders, spinal range of motion and probably most importantly, squatting. This is in addition to the enormous benefit on breathing, digestion and anxiety. This is probably where…

this made me crack up. And completely agree on the Shakespearean like first 10 seasons. Well done

Notice the batter grabs his crotch seconds after the boob grab. I think Bags was stealing signs and telling the runner to steal second

Your sky looks like it has syphilis

This gets crocodile tear stars

Best way to get back at her is to Pete Rose train over her next time a runner is coming home. Would be legal... she’s technically blocking the plate
