Or a Physics textbook. Although he probably would throw that away too. The only surefire way to avoid it getting tossed would be to transcribe the contents onto a cabbage. No way he’d chance it, those things are deadly...

I suspect that ED’s are universally stressful, understaffed, and under resourced. I’m not what the burnout rate is Australia, but I bet it’s on par with the US, Britain, and Canada.

Most people give up after the first or second denial of coverage. Very few people have the time or resources to advocate for their health effectively. Automatically denying claims is therefore cheaper overall.

That’s exactly what I was going to post. I suspect that the reluctance of investors is mostly due to this and not misogyny or racism as implied by the article. After getting burned spectacularly, very few (non-biotech) investment companies are going to support this. Unlike other “tech” VC’s Biotech is very data…

It depends on the model. The Golf is extremely reliable and a more nicer vehicle than most other vehicles in this segment. The Jetta tends to have slightly more problems b/c VW does more cost saving with that vehicle.

That story is even more aggravating given that women are at a significantly higher risk for ACL injuries than men. That fact alone should have led to additional testing and examination. That’s some shitty clinical judgement. I’m glad that your sister was able find a good MD before suffering irreversable damage to her…

I would be very curious to see how the data worked out if medical professionals (e.g. EMT, MD, NP, PA, RN, etc.) were evualted instead. I suspect that racial and gender disparities would be less prevelent with children and exaggerating with adults.

Preach brother. Whenever someone pulls that anti-vaxx crap, I tell them to visit a graveyard and count the number of children's grave markers before and after the polio vaccine was introduced. It's surprisingly effective.

Speaker Pelosi said, rather eloquently, what all men (who were raised properly) think. As a man, I don’t consider Trump to be worthy of that descriptor. At best he’s a petulant child.

Maybe this update will actually allow me to make and place calls again on my Pixel again! Thank you for breaking my phone with Android 9.0 Google, it was so thoughtful of you.

Were you a Marine? My friends who served in the Corp, tended to have much crappier gear than my friends in other branches of the military.

That’s a reasonable question but one your doctor probably won’t be able to answer. Given the Byzantine reimbursement and billing of insurance, coupled with inconsistent pricing of services from providers, it’s nearly impossible to predict accurately.

While the visuals may have been optimized for the "male gaze", the olfactory experience certainly wasn't. Every VS combined the smells of the worst Yankee candles coupled with Glade plugins. Perhaps this was intentional, as the miasma foiled all but the most stalwart males. 

$2000 says that he can't read.

Boden may have several dresses that fit your requirements (I actually thought that’s where the dress you showed came from). Prices seem to be pretty reasonable.

Have my star you glorious bastard!

This should be bumped to the top of the comments.

I pay a yearly excise tax on my car in MA. The amount is determined by the year, sales price, and (IIRC) milage. The most I’ve had to pay was about $150 and drops overtime to some base fee ($40 maybe). I’m pretty sure that Me, NY, VT, and CT, have similar taxes.

Came here to write the same thing. 

By doctors do you mean general practitioners or an orthopedic surgeons? The right GP could provide a diagnosis but won’t know the best treatment options and their outcomes.
