It’d be nice if they’d just kill Will Arnett’s vanity show, Flaked. It was dreadful the first season, and really just seemed like GOB Bluth trying to justify why Amy Poehler divorced him.

I agree with most of what you’re saying, and as the son of a former police officer, I can tell you that training used to emphasize keeping your cool, using your head and deescalating over drawing your weapon at the drop of a hat. I’ve said this a few times in a few different posts - in the 60+ combined years that my…

Oh, and liability insurance. If doctors have to carry it why not cops? Cops are given power over life and death.

Stealing and making-public medical records has got to carry a jail sentence, right?

I’ve worked in the medical field for 30 years (including 12 years for a plastic surgery practice), and the idea that electronic medical records are a boon to patient privacy is, in ways we continue to learn, counter-intuitive. I mean, if you wanted to steal 15000 medical records in the 80s, you’d need a big-ass truck…

I guess I’m not entirely getting what right the UK courts have to block this or why they’re even doing it. I mean it sounds like the parents are paying for it themselves (our at least with money donated to them), there are no other alternatives in the UK, and while the US treatment is entirely experimental I haven’t…

I would never give up fighting for the life of one of my children, rational or not. I don’t think there are any bad guys here, this is just really, really sad.

Need a Shade Court deliberation on “God bless him”.

I don’t see how “hey, don’t use instruments that can result in catastrophic cancer throughout the entire abdomen if there’s a known mass that we didn’t biopsy before the procedure to figure out if it would be safe” should be somehow responsible for trans men not being able to access gender confirmation surgery. The…

The majority of those transdudes (aka XX) probably did not have uterine fibroids, so the banning of the morcellator would be of little significance for their procedure.

Eight years ago my mom was diagnosed with a benign fibroid that ended up being this cancer. When my mom was having the “fibroid” removed (it wasn’t diagnosed until after its removal), she had a choice between using this device or having the more invasive, traditional surgery. She chose the latter.

Everyone who defends frats/ sororities always has the same four fucking defenses:

This is what I really worry about with sororities and fraternities. 18 - 21 is a time when, from a developmental standpoint, people should be learning really specific social skills: How to build friendships on the basis of individual compatibility instead of institutional affiliation. How to be friends with people of…

This argument might work if Cinco de Mayo celebrations in the US weren’t one big cultural mockery douche-fest. Guarantee Beyonce doesn’t know jack shit about Cinco de Mayo just like the vast majority of Americans that ‘celebrate’ it.

I don’t think rich kids finger paint or do messy things. They probably have baby doubles to do that kind of peasant work.

I think the people actively encouraging anti vax, like Andrew Wakefield and his ilk, are nefarious. I think they are parasites who prey on vulnerable people. The people who fall victim to the BS are wrong, but I think that many smart people believe erroneous things. Of course it can be a fine line between them.

No, she and her precious “you just can’t find good help these days” daughter are going to make sure they are away from any violence.

Susan Sarandon is a BernieBot who was and remains comfortable not voting for Hillary because as a rich white famous person, none of this affects her in the slightest. Fuck her.

SUSAN:

I hear what you’re saying - the ACA is far from super-liberal or socialist, and could use a lot of improvement - but I don’t like when people credit Mass Health to Romney. Ted Kennedy spearheaded universal healthcare for basically his whole career and we wouldn’t have gotten the healthcare plan in Massachusetts…
