Although this woman is (allegedly) human garbage who was driving while intoxicated, what part of "car crash" allows a nurse to do a fucking body cavity search on her?

Who cares about what it's called? Wheat is actually a significant allergen for a lot of people. Wheat is a common trigger for an autoimmune response in a lot of people — about 90% of people with hypothyroid have it. You eat wheat, the body triggers an autoimmune response, and the thyroid gets damaged. I took Synthroid…

What a strange case. I thought there was a limit to how many Cesareans a uterus can safely tolerate. The risk of uterine rupture increases with multiple C-sections, and certainly a VBAC carries a greater chance of uterine rupture than a regular vaginal delivery. I would guess that the risks associated with…

I remember reading about a similar lawsuit where a man tried to claim that they cut off his penis. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/24/ky-… In reality, the physician found cancer during the operation and removed only the cancerous portion. The patient lost the lawsuit.

The identifying information is removed. Presumably the samples are labeled with a unique number or identifier that is cross-linked to a database containing the names.

OF COURSE this is The Woodlands. Of course it is. Jesus.

Thaw out the sperm at home, use a turkey baster (ICI or intracervical insemination). You can also pay to go to your reproductive endocrinologist's office and they can place the sperm directly in the uterus, IUI or intrauterine insemination. The sperm has to be specially prepared for the IUI, if I recall correctly.

http://www.theafa.org/article/using-… You cannot make the donor sign away his parental rights unless it's done with informed consent, which the sperm banks will take care of.

You have zero legal protection unless you go through a sperm bank. If you use a friend's sperm, even if he puts it in a jar for you and you never even have sex with the friend, they can sue for parental rights. (http://www.theafa.org/article/using-…) The courts routinely award custody or visitation to these men,…

Obviously we don't have the full story here, but it is bizarre to me that she got the ticket when the motorcyclist should have been able to see the hazard and stop. Motorcyclists can stop much quicker than other vehicles. Then again, maybe the guy wasn't able to avoid the accident due to other factors. Older…

Any sexualized images, whether "real", drawn, etc., hurts kids. Look up what "grooming" means sometime. Pornography is problematic because it desensitizes people and increases the demand for more images of children being abused. Seeing sexualized images of children whether photographs, video, or animated, sends the…

Building rapport with your boss is key to advancing your career. Not ass-kissing, but rapport. It's not enough to keep your head down and your nose to the grindstone. If someone above you really likes you and is impressed with you, and is willing to vouch for you, they can do wonders for your career. This isn't about…

If she couldn't look you in the eye, that's a pretty clear sign. Start looking now. Try to avoid taking a pay cut or drop in title. Hang in there and find something that's a better fit.

I don't know the law in this jurisdiction, but apparently the law in some areas only supports "forcible rape". If he raped her without leaving evidence of physical violence, the cops assume that the victim wasn't really raped. It's the same harmful victim-blaming trope that "if it was really rape, she would have…

This doesn't address any of the misogyny or warning flags that could have been seized upon by his parents, if they had been more involved in his life. I agree, there is no way that the cops could have prevented this from happening, unless his parents were more involved/controlling of his life. Since he was still…

This is a hoax, Planned Parenthood (or NARAL, can't remember which one) removed the link from their facebook page.

I think you mean Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, aka SJS. It is a cutaneous/skin reaction that can be fatal or life-threatening, and it is usually precipitated by medications. Several drugs are at "high" risk of inducing TEN/SJS including: Allopurinol, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and other sulfonamide-antibiotics,…

Dog is being held by animal control and will be destroyed. My younger sister got mauled by a German Shepherd/Chow mix when she was 5 years old, almost lost an eye. I'm not very sympathetic towards dogs that bite.

BEST COMMENT EVER. I love this.

DEAR GOD WHAT ABOUT THE MEN, WHEN IS SOMEBODY GOING TO FINALLY THINK OF THE MENNNNNNNN for once
