Erm, they’re not intolerant and the law technically doesn’t mean anything.

If you’re planning on marrying a Muslim (or whatever) who’s serious about his religion, chances are extremely high you’ll have to convert and therefore can’t remain a Buddhist anyway. So the fact that they’re banning Buddhists from marrying…

That wasn’t instinct, that was simply dumb luck of having a pregnancy without complications. And had you had complications, I’m willing to bet that your ridiculous feelings of hostility would have flown out the window. Just like your feelings of hostility towards the hospital magically leave you when you know you’re…

Oh please. When was the last time she was ever mentioned in Jezebel’s tabloid run-down? My bet is when she was attending Will & Kate’s wedding because she wore a silly hat.

You leave John Oliver alone, young lady.

Exactly. Pretty much every single medical office I’ve been to where they were really trying to be nice, giving me beverages and being chatty resulted in me walking out disappointed with the appalling incompetence of the medical staff and expensive treatment.

Geez, if I wanted a cup of tea and a fake-smiley chatty…

Oh, please. Nobody knows Beatrice or even cares what she does unless it’s to talk about her hats. Just like with any other royal family, the world only knows/cares abou the goings on of those who are in direct line to the throne and are therefore de facto diplomats.

Er, no she doesn’t represent the country. The only people who represent the country are those in direct line to the throne, i.e. Charles, William and their respective spouses.

I never said anything about not choosing to work with a midwife. All I said was that in the medical complications the author faced, a midwife would have been useless since they’re not trained medical professionals to do surgery on your damn living room floor.

I thought that Beatrice had a job.

I’m not the one making bogus claims like pregnancy causing PTSD, so maybe you need to get a little perspective.

Quite frankly I don’t get why she has to have an income. I can understand having a spending account that will reimburse her for the expenses related to official diplomatic engagements, but other than that, why does she need a salary?

Actually, I’m going to go with some patients are stupid ingrates.

As much as it may shock you, yes I am a woman. And I don’t discuss my reproductive plans with my doctor because or strangers on the Internet they’re not my pal, and it’s none of their damn business if or when I should choose to become pregnant.

Insane demands for her time? She goes to one event a week, if that.

The budget could have used more slashing by getting rid of monarchy’s salary instead of slashing it on the backs of the poor.

I’m sorry, what exactly is he supposed to do instead? Take her out for a coffee to chat a bit and talk about his golf game or her knitting club?

Er, no. You made the choice because you have the luxury of being a wealthy woman who lives a short distance from 3 different hospitals and likely have a doctor living on your floor as well.

Wash cloths are gross and don’t do anything. Sea sponges are okay if you need to exfoliate but you don’t do that everyday.

Ern, no this was not a doctor ignoring his patient. If she was going to a therapist or psychiatrist, then yes, you can make the argument that her medical needs were ignored. But she was going to an OBGYN, and received the treatment he specialized in.

Hey now, they were born into money. Any idiot can be born. It takes special talent to be born into money.
