Yep. That’s why I went to get my attending :)

I’m a med student and just the other day I was reading about ear problems. #1 thing to get stuck in your ear- a qtip. #2- insects. Most common insect? Cockroach. So gross. So then I started thinking about spiders in ears, as I have a pretty bad spider phobia (my only real fear). 

And Blake Wentworth is in the department of South and Southeast Asian Studies.

Me too. It’s weid though, becuase it’s usually people who don’t have relationships to the “parents” (of whatever kind) and children involved who are making the statement. I’m an auntie who lived with my nieces and nephews for a long time. I’m also an egg donor. Guess who I consider to be more like a parent to? My egg…

Starred for your username

I have a very conservative catholic friend on FB. Pictures of aborted babies and posts about how Clinton has Pakinson’s and everything else, vaccines cause autism, the whole bit. I think you’re totally right, you need to know what they are thinking so that when they bring it up in argument/conversation you’re not…

You’re not the only one- I totally thought that yesterday but I think he’s too young. But the rest of the story sure fits. But I also feel like Angelina is too together to be with someone with that kind of reputation.

This is a terribly timed article. It’s been up for hours, and nothing to acknowledge how wrong it is. Please delete this article or acknowledge the actresses’ recent loss immediately. 

I am in training as an MD right now. There’s a generally lower respect for doctors than there used to be. Now, there might be a lot of reasons for this; docs being paternalistic and harming people, and some of the things you mentioned, but I keep having this sneaking suspicion that it’s significant that it correlates…

I was actually wondering if some might be suicide.

So there’s one reason why this would happen. It’s called the Zavanelli maneuver, and it is used in the case of shoulder dystocia if all else fails. I cannot fathom ever doing it myself, but I did hear of it happening once in the smallish hospital I work at. Interestingly, her story kind of checks out with shoulder…

Thanks for that. I also wonder if it matters. Should a woman who has multiple sclerosis or a man who has paralysis not have children? I’m currently working in the labour and delivery ward and there are quite a few people who others would deem not fit to have children. A much-desired child often seems to be surrounded…

There’s something I’ve found myself doing lately. I was hit by the double whammy of having more income and moving to a larger city. I HAVE to find the best price in town for whatever I am buying. Now, when I had little money and there were only two grocery stores, checking the price of knock-off raisin bran wasn’t…

I totally thought the same thing for a minute. I think I thought it was going to prevent Jon from going any further, knock some sense into him, and get him to turn back, but that was a pretty ridiculous thought. I thought Jon was cooler-headed than he is.

I haven’t read the original study, but certain woman at high-risk for Neural tube defects are recommended to supplement with higher folate. The first thing I thought when reading the headlies on this study was:

I had a realization a few years ago when thinking about a number of things related to birthing and family planning. I realized it’s not my place to decide how a person or family decides to create their family. If a woman wants to have an abortion, that’s her choice about her family/life. If a couple wants to have 8…

Yes, attempting to pin blame on the ambulance service is disingenuous.

One person i know called it “basting a baby in bbq sauce”

I’m a med student in Canada, we’re following this too. It’s close to us as well. I taught EMR courses (prerequisite to paramedic school) before starting med school. Yes, the testimony is from someone more qualified than me, but it really doesn’t hold up. The kid being without oxygen for more than 8 min by the time…

Within a few years, I’ll be fortunate enough to be in a position where I’ll have enough money that I will be able to do almost anything I like. I will avoid his hotels, golf courses, etc. I have to buy professional work wear on a regular basis, and Ivanka Trump’s clothing line is very appropriate, but I won’t buy it.…
