Not being familiar with San Francisco prices, I have to ask: are the bowls of phở bò ($38) and bún riêu đặc biệt ($48) also meant to be joke menu items?

Toni Collette’s character had a brief bit of dialogue where she explained they had picked up too much velocity and didn’t have enough fuel to return to earth. So it had less to do with the importance of the mission and more to do with the realities of orbital mechanics (I say this as someone whose only knowledge of…

You can actually see thrombosis and thrombocytopenia with other clinical syndromes like DIC (check fibrinogen levels, D-dimers, and look for occult malignancies or infections), HUS (check renal function), and TTP (check ADAMTS13 activity and screen for any neurologic dysfunction) - but the case reports specifically…

The annual risk of major bleeding with oral anticoagulants like warfarin, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, or apixaban is somewhere around 2-4% depending on the study and clinical indication (for instance, the recent Caravaggio trial looking at apixaban for malignancy-associated VTE reported major bleeding in 3.8% of the…

Blood letting, like leeches, is another one of those weird medical practices that still has a very limited applicability in modern medicine. There are a few hematologic disorders like polycythemia vera where therapeutic phlebotomies are still indicated.

Just as a side note, a general recommendation for colorectal cancer screening is 50 or 10 years before an immediate family member’s age of diagnosis, whichever is earlier. So if your parent got their initial colonoscopy at age 50 and was diagnosed with CRC, most GIs and oncologists would want you to get your first colo…

Or something like the Croatia-Italy Euro 2016 qualifier. It was played behind closed doors, but fans still managed to burn a swastika onto the pitch prior to the match.

He presented himself as “I’m not into it but if you are that’s cool” and “We will compromise about it.” In that frame work it would be really surprising that your husband is not willing to stand by your side for half an hour because it makes you feel good.

I just sort of roll my eyes whenever the issue of authenticity comes up - especially when it comes to the ridiculous hoops someone has to jump through to be considered authentic.

HF srirracha is Thai inspired american hot sauce.

For most tumors, the initial treatment response isn’t the main issue. It’s the recurrence. There’s a reason why oncologists are careful to use the term remission and not “cure”. 

My family always used Three Crabs and thought the hype surrounding Red Boat was probably overblown - but once we actually tasted it, we had to agree it’s worthy of the praise. Because of the price, we’ll still use Three Crabs for the majority of our cooking; but Red Boat comes out any time we make a dipping sauce.

I generally like self-checkout lanes, but I’ve never felt like I could set my own pace. I’m always worried that the people standing in line behind me are judging me on how quickly I can get my shit scanned and bagged. I know it’s absolutely irrational - but I can’t help it.

I only use my iPad for reading journal articles and the occasional textbook. I don’t like reading PDFs on the computer monitor and I find the Paperwhite too small for charts/graphs. If my iPad 3 ever goes kaput, I’ll probably switch to a cheaper android tablet. 

I didn’t recognize the true nature of the Red Room until the finale; but based on Mrs. Dudley’s conversation with Olivia, I thought the episode confirmed Abigail’s identity the moment she said her mother was a worrier.

Based on the Dudleys, it feels like Hill House would be better served if it could convince someone to turn it into a hospice. You just know there would be plenty of people willing to let their loved ones die in the house if it meant the possibility of existence after death. 

I was watching with my sister and neither of us could figure out what was the defining characteristic of a British pudding. It just seemed like a catch-all term for whatever dish didn’t obviously qualify as an entree.

It would also interesting to see the demographics of the various specialities. Neurosurgery, urology, and orthopedic surgery are not only highly competitive and highly compensated, but they also are highly white and highly male. Over the years, there’s been an attempt to increase diversity - but it’s still a bit of an…

I don’t drink coffee this way myself, but I remember using Cafe du Monde when I helped my dad make his coffee on the weekends.
