Because it should not be costing basically one million dollars to treat a case of tetanus when the patient is discharged in less than two months.

This is more an indictment about the inefficiency of the American health care system than the ignorance of the child’s parents for failing to vaccinate.  

I’m the same way! I probably read up on everything for a solid month before jumping in. Definitely made mistakes along the way too... learned the hard way about needing salts/electrolytes (embarrassing considering how much research I did, lol.)

Going below 20g isn’t good even for longtime keto goers. I’m going to guess you aren’t terribly active physically or your testing methods for ketones was inaccurate. There’s little reason for you to not be in nutritional ketosis if you were below 40g of carbs. Also, MCT doesn’t help you burn fat. It literally is fat.…

Ya, that seems like a common story of a person who is going on real keto. Its called the Keto Flu.  But call me crazy if you’re body is making you feel that bad perhaps it doesn’t want you to do it.  Sorry for your bad experience.

No I didn’t, you hyperbolic, pearl-clutching snowflake. I have bent over backwards to model respectful behavior toward women for my boys - particularly to my wife, who has been with me for 24 years. But I’m obviously a terrible person who tickles his own children without their consent, and in your mind, that…

I have to wonder what complexes we’ll be seeing 10-15 years from now when all these kids who are taught that absolutely everything is some sort of violation are grown up. Will we have adults with PTSD flashbacks to that time an aunt tickled them or an uncle shook their hand or a stranger made brief eye contact without…

Dear lord, this is a stupid article.

Utter bullshit. I’m the father of three boys (14, 11, 8). My wife and I tickled them regularly as babies and toddlers. Less so as they got older. We’re mostly sticking to high-fives and bear hugs these days. Maybe the occasional noogie. They certainly were never traumatized by being tickled and are now just…

Leave it to overzealous politically correct hacks to suck all the childhood fun out of life. Don’t tickle kids, don’t give them candy, don’t smile at them you pedophile you, don’t hug them, don’t look at them funny, don’t say “atta boy” because what if they identify as a female, don’t tell them what beautiful hair…

Seriously? Is this article serious? What’s next? I need to ask permission before I ask permission for something?

OK, tickling isn’t rape.  I think asking a kid if its OK to tickle is oddly creepy.  Just like I don’t think you need to ask explicit permission before you kiss anyone.  You need to read the situation.  And if you discover you misread the situation you need to stop immediately and apologize and not make it the other…

these hearings are pretty much professional wrestling, politicians bring out unpopular executives(boo hiss) make a bunch of grandstanding speeches to put on the campaign commercials and then proceed to do bugger all because they are firmly in the pockets of those companies. Its theater and nothing will ever be done by…

Way to ignore the points around that blockquote...

We don’t have the best healthcare in world history. That’s false.  There are at least 10 other countries that are better than the US.

Health Insurance and health care are in effect the same thing. If you don’t have the former you can’t have the later. Who cares if you have the best health care in the world if you can’t afford to access it.

I’m going to put a difference spin on the drug development argument. I apologize in advance that I’m using vague numbers that may in fact be wrong.

I’m as much as a capitalist / republican as the next guy and even I’m for price control in the health care industry if not outright single payer. People are a captive audience to drug makers, hospitals, and health insurance. We need healthcare as much as we need utilities such as power, gas, and water. Unlike the the…

You could just not look into the dude’s house.

And, don’t blink.
