“It’s a blatant HIPAA violation.” It’s not, actually. HIPAA doesn’t cover your employer. Any time you share information about your medical condition with them (be it in casual conversation with your boss or for the purpose of something like taking leave or worker’s comp) it’s not covered. That includes all these…

PREACH.

THIS IS SUCH GREAT NEWS. Jane is a boss.

“Several.” Mmmmhmmm. http://www.sentencingproject.org/issues/racial-disparity/

HOLY moly this is either trolling or jaw-dropping naivety.

WHITE VINEGAR in a spray bottle, diluted with water if you like. 100% guaranteed to work, it eliminates body odors like woah. Once dry, there is no vinegar smell and no body smell at all.

I’m not worried about STIs because I make everyone I have sex with get an STI check first (FWIW there’s never been ANY pushback on this request. I just ask when the last time they had an STI and HIV test was, and most people look…

Yeah also what he’s describing is not in fact placebo-controlled research. Placebos are used in an intervention trial; he’s describing a cohort study.

You are confusing your canyons. The Grand Canyon pictured for this story, where Colleen Burns died, is in Arizona (Grand Canyon National Park). The canyon where this most recent tragedy happened is not actually “THE Grand Canyon” but “the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone” in Yellowstone National Park, which is in…

THIS. Why, why do men do this??? It’s happened to me more than once. It’s like, what, did you leave and just get back? I’ve been here the whole time...

NB: Her employer’s disclosure of medical information wasn’t a HIPAA violation. HIPAA doesn’t cover employers. It covers care providers.
