Ok I don’t disagree with you in spirit but to be technical again, ERs that are Level III+ or specialized absolutely divert or transfer GSWs (and a multitude of other complaints) if they’re unable to handle them. Usually in those cases EMTs take patients to the most suitable locations because they already know or they…

But don’t you think those decisions can be made based on WW’s performance alone, almost as its own franchise unrelated to other DC movies? It’s made more than other franchise starters who kept the same directors for #2 like Star Trek, Iron Man, and Kingsman. Unless Patty Jenkins is asking for ungodly amounts of money…

Even if someone is cut out to handle this specific type of traumatized patients, it’s a disproportionate increase in responsibility, liability, and stress compared to the incentives. SANEs are typically on call outside of their regular work hours. Also, most medical professionals I know have no experience in nor…

To be technical again the rape kit is not a part of treatment. Evidence collection is legal, not medical. There are however other aspects of SANE training that make them best suited to handling these case, which is why it’s important for hospitals to have people trained at least in the medical and psychosocial parts…

I get really sad when a hot guy starts talking and the voice sounds like it belongs to a pimply faced high school sophomore (*cough* David Beckam *cough*). Such a waste.

There’s no question that WW2 is happening given its financial and critical success. Not one iota of doubt. Nothing that happens with Justice League will change that. The only “decision” WB/DC needs to make is how many trucks of cash they’re driving to Patty Jenkins’s house.

Quintessential IMDB actor is such an accurate and kind way to describe these actors. It doesn’t seem John Heard was typecast either, since I seem to remember him in a variety of roles from good guys to bad guys, from nice to smarmy. That’s impressive.

I agree that there’s no financial pressure on Will & Kate to work, but they shouldn’t expect their public image and societal reputation not to reflect that. Fergie, Andrew, and their kids live very comfortable lives but don’t enjoy nearly the level of goodwill and respect that W&K do.

I had mine done by a dentist! She’s also my aunt, but she did it for other kids too. This was 2 decades ago, though. I guess it’s not worth it anymore in the current world of billing and liability.

My grandmothers wouldn’t let their daughters get ears pierced as kids because that made them a bigger target for kidnappers. I guess they thought people would take kids to steal their earrings (most kids got tiny gold hoops as their first pair) or simply having pierced ears meant your family had money which made you a…

Me too, but I guess we shouldn’t be. Red states are all about states’ rights. Plus, even Republican Secs of State aren’t dumb enough to claim that fraud happened on their own watch. It’s always other people. Congrats to the WH for hitting on an issue with bipartisan support.

One of my little joys in life is calling or seeing other adults call toddlers Sirs and Ma’ams, especially in reprimand. It’s so ridiculous that it instantly dials down my irritation level a notch.

Let me start by apologizing. I see that my post was the wrong thing to say at the wrong time to the wrong person. If anyone had the right to express what you did, it’s you. Doubt not that I’m in awe of your strength, resilience, serenity. The ability to come through extreme despair and hardship with positivity and…

Look, I get that this is no picnic for Venus, and she seems like a good enough egg that this should trouble her, but seriously? “And I think that it might actually be worse to have caused one.” Worse than the actual death that happened? When you’ve got entire paragraphs on feeling bad for the driver at fault and…

Teamsters usually endorse Dems, so their jobs don’t count.

Came here to make this comment. Glad to see it’s at the top!

So where does the money in the trust come from? If, say Chicago, has paid out half a billion dollars in settlements in 10 years, how much of its budget goes to paying for insurance?

Julia Roberts in Conspiracy Theory is the only reason I ever go on the treadmill.

Extreme emotions like fear or surprise can trigger an extreme vagal response, directing blood from the head, then bam! I’ve witnessed it a few times in people afraid of needles and family members during births. Had a classmate just drop out of her seat during lecture once because of some really graphic images in the…

A silent number? I don’t know that this is but I want one! Does it also work on political campaigns and parents?
