You don't have to believe in souks to understand that one zygote is different from another.

It's obviously not as severe in terms of the physical dangers, but mentally, it's a lot more 'severe' than a colonoscopy, so much so, in fact, that they can't even be compared. How can't you make that inference? It's so simply and obvious, I don't understand, is it willful avoidance or complete ignorance? Clearly the…
Completely disagree. As I stated above my father had a non-cancerous tumor removed from his kidney and he most certainly was asked how he was doing emotional.
Yeah, to me it rises to the point of giving me the creeps. She is doing something she finds difficult, and apparently consoling herself by telling herself that she will . . . get pregnant with the same fetus again one day? It's a bizarre line of thinking, bordering on delusion.
Yeah, it was jarring to me too, just because — no, it will not be this child, it will be a different one who may or may not be similar to the one you're about to abort.
I think it depends on the kind of procedure. Anyone, male or female, will be "asked for their emotional reactions" after a serious procedure like open-heart surgery. I think that the emphasis on the emotional reaction after an abortion is due to the severity of the procedure, rather than some sort of perceived…
and then there are people who deal with bodily fluids; like for a job, and you use universal precautions but sometimes shit ( or blood, or snot) happens. No there absolutely is not going to be an outbreak in the US- but as an embalmer I reserve the right to have at least one terrible nightmare about this.
That's great, until someone doesn't wash their hands well on an airplane or whatever.
My husband and I were just talking about them recently. What ever happened to them???? I know a few tried solo careers but... they were such a gem of a group!
My daughter didn't have it because she has no sign of visible tumor, so they would be radiating a surgical site without really knowing when or if they had reached their goal. She doesn't need it at this time. If she showed re-growth of tumor, I have every confidence that it would be extremely beneficial to her, based…
And this is exactly what the anti-Obamacare folks were using to try and scare U.S. voters away from supporting it. On balance I am all for a single-payer health system but people falling through the cracks is a very scary prospect.
Lots of things are not available on the NHS in the UK. Including many expensive drugs. It is a case of cost and expense. There is a term here called "postcode lottery" which relates to where a patient lives and how much their local authority allocate to spending treatments. It can be the difference between life…
My daughter's neurosurgeon here in the U.S. was so freaked out about her tumor recurring that he wanted her to have proton therapy even though there was no visible sign of tumor after the second operation. The tumor board of the proton therapy center said no, since, again, she has no visible sign of tumor…
Woah. This is really interesting (and I'm glad your daughter is OK, knock wood). My impression from the media is that the MDs are sure Proton Beam wouldn't work and that's what started the initial conflict. Look at this from The Guardian:
The police were not given all the facts. It's now come out that the machine did not require batteries after all, and the parents were taking all the right precautions anyway.
There's a lot more to this story than what's on this page...The hospital was initially threatening to ban the father from visiting Ashya because…
This story scared the crap out of me because it is shocking that proton therapy is not available in the UK for anything but eye cancer. Granted, it is fairly new, but there are about 10 centers in the U.S. that provide it, and insurance does cover it here, for all kinds of cancers that in particular involve the brain.…
There was a parallel case here in the states not too long ago, except it was a spat between two hospitals who disagree over the course of treatment.
Another aspect of it that I thought was incredibly distasteful, was how the media kept going on and on about the family being Jehova's witnesses. While they oppose blood transfusions for religious reasons they do not object to cancer treatments in any shape or form and it should never have been made into the big issue…
I don't get it... Why arrest the parents of the child when they take him out of the hospital? How does that even work?
