Yeah. I usually have to bide my time for that part of the book where Harry starts finally making the plot make sense. But Deux ex machina describes a lot of the final plots, especially since Harry takes delight in being the worst reliable narrator ever (I get tired of him keeping secrets from the audience to punch up…

"Also, please don't say it's important she's naked or it's in the book"

I couldn't get over what an ass the lead on Married was. Never occurred to him to help his wife out so her life would be less stressful.

""For some of these, we will say 'What was that?' in a decade. Others may become the next selfie," Martin said."

Obviously this is the first worldiest of first worldy problems right now, but how do we know if we're going to be bumped back to the grays? I've managed to claw my way out of the land of the unapproved/unstarred and unseen something like three times over the last four years across comment system updates, and the…

Hey, i wonder if Shepard Smith should be smashed upside the head with a shovel, tied up and forced to watch live footage from BlizzCon for 24 hours. Hey, don't get mad, i'm not making threats or anything like that, i'm just wondering aloud.

Is it weird that I cannot support all these revenge stories? It's just too skeevy for me.

And let me guess.. when the happy couple moved because of the smell, they took the drapes with them? I've heard this story as an urban legend in forwarded emails.

I need to move to Portland I think.

I don't know that the intention would be to deal with grief by drinking. It sounds to me more like they're letting patients engage in normal outside the hospital behavior. Maybe there's a chance for abuse, but there's also a pretty good chance it will allow patients and their families to feel a little less like…

In Portland Oregon, at the 2001 Kinkfest, there was this gorgeous man in a kilt. He had me at "lick my boots, slave."

She's anti-vaccine. Thatz not okay.

Japanese-y, while not a word you should use to describe it, in her head probably does refer to specific styles of manicure popularized in Japan. I know KP got her nails done by a famous Japanese nail artist at one point and seems to like the style. So. There's that.

Eh, I've heard a lot of neonatologists saying the opposite, and labor is definitely the time that babies are in the most danger.

I have any issue with 'rights' without responsibilities. Does the patient have a right to push a surgeon into doing a salvage operation? Assumption here is that the surgeon reasonably foresees an emergency surgery that could be prevented through a planned c-section and emergency surgery is higher risk than planned.…

Of course, I agree, our litigious culture plays a role here - and I often find that people like this woman are the first to turn around and sue if something goes wrong - ObGyns have among the highest medical malpractice premiums. But my experience as a woman who had c-sections and did not even try for a VBAC is that…

Well, for my part, I am happy she had a healthy baby not sorry she didn't get her VBAC. Stop making a fetish out of childbirth!! This is such a first world/lucky enough to live in the 21st century problem. Who cares - healthy baby is what matters.

After 3 previous c-sections, yes she IS too stupid to be trusted if she thinks it's reasonable to insist on a vbac.

I agree there are ethical concerns, but can we L/D RNs agree that trying TOLAC after *3* CS is very risky?!
