Yes. It just sickens me how blind people are. I really think the schools need to add a news literacy component and better education on how the government actually works.

Actually what Ivana said is very wise — she’s filthy rich, why would she want to go into politics when she can just enjoy being filthy rich? I wish Trump thought about things that way. If I had that kind of money, the last thing I would want to do is spend time in conference rooms with politicians — I would be too…

Why isn’t the Senate Intel Committee looking into the Fake News Networks in our country to see why so much of our news is just made up?

“So wonderful to be in Las Vegas yesterday and meet with people, from police to doctors to the victims themselves, who I will never forget!”

I think Tim Murphy should have been forced to carry his unviable career to full term.

Y2K actually did happen, and it threw us all into the Mirror Universe.

What Ivana said...

It’s hard to believe that, if there are infinite universes, there’s a universe out there where Donald Trump is actually a good and decent man who saved his world.

Maybe I could use that as an excuse the next time my mother complains about my apartment.

I managed to adopt at 37, in the end... I wasn’t age discriminated for adoption, but I was discriminated against for not having biological children. Apparently, they believe that if you have bio children, you truly want to adopt... if you don’t, you will magically get surprise pregnant and treat the children you…

Thank you for this.

26 years ago they did a C-section on my mother less than 12 hours after her water broke because she wasn’t going into labor no matter what they did. She was also 38, which was considered ancient back then.

Her whole testimony sounds ridiculous to me as an attorney. She doesn’t remember key parts of her case. Like, she doesn’t remember if they told her the baby was in distress?  This is some grade A ambulance chasing right here. If you have a client who can’t affirmatively assert whether important elements of your case…

I don’t know if it’s just me, (and I’m not saying it happened to this woman) but I am an avid hallucinator when I’m in pain and on meds. I broke my ankle last fall and I vividly remember a phone call (just after I got back from the ER) where my father yelled at me, told me that he hated me, and to never call him…

Okay, look, I get that women are often treated dismissively in health care.

As a L&D nurse we use fetal monitoring to determine how a fetus is “coping” with labor. There are three categories of tracing of a baby’s heart rate - Cat I is a sign that a fetus is well oxygenated at that moment, Cat II is indeteminant, the fetus could be fine or it could be compromised, we can’t tell. Cat III…

I’m not a medical expert, but I am currently pretty well informed about the risks of VBACs, since I had one a few months ago (successful, thankfully!). I feel like we don’t have enough details from both sides of this particular story, so I’ll just say some general things based on my experience & my research:

I’m curious why she was so against having another c-section after having two. It’s says she had an 8-month recovery, but I don’t know if that means there were complications or it just took that long to feel ‘normal.’

What do you want to bet that if they’d allowed her to continue with a VBAC and something had gone wrong with her or the baby (or both), she be suing over that.

I’m curious to see what other details about this case come out.
