Amen, and I think this should apply for every field in which one could come into contact with pregnant women - IM, EM, and FM. Moreover, hospitals, regardless of their religious affiliation should in no way be allowed to curtail the right to provide this information. If hospitals don’t want to provide abortions, fine…

I really think it would help to lift some of the financial burden. However, I still don’t think it would be a top choice, simply because it’s also a terrifying road, especially if you have something to lose, like a family. Spending the rest of your life worrying your family will be killed because of your life choices…

Post-residency, any training a doctor acquires is pretty much on their own incentive. It would be awesome if some chose to apprentice with Dr Tiller types, but that would be entirely their own choice, and they’d likely have to forego any income while they did so. Wouldn’t it be awesome if they did so? It’s pretty…

Fair enough, and thank you for the data.

Yup, I’ve seen that. First, it doesn’t parse out unintentional drownings (could be lake, river, or bathtub; no pools specified). Even assuming that the majority of deaths are pool, I think there is still a big problem here, which is that you’re only counting unintentional deaths. If you are truly looking at household…

I honestly have, I’m just finding such varied number on guns per household, and very few original sources on pediatic gun deaths (drownings are far easier to locate information on), that I’m wondering where your source is that’s giving you such certainty.

Other people below have covered it but, to reiterate -

Citation please.

I am now very confident in my assessment of the Mallampati score of the lady with short blond hair. She has excellent jaw mobility.

Just FYI, it’s spelled cartilage.

Before my mom got her dog, I would’ve scoffed and muttered under my breath about personification at anyone saying a dog could have autistic qualities. However, this dog completely ignores other dogs, perserverates about rocks (she likes to catch them and constantly carries them in her mouth, not balls or other normal…

Yes, although it is missing Tyra chastizing Andreea Diaconu for not modeling H2T, plus whatever other words she’s recently made up, plus mentioning branding and her graduate degree from Harvard (‘s for-profit extension branch). So, basically, only 1/2 of the awesome crazy package that was ANTM. God, I’m going to miss…

Great article. I too am part of the cystic breast club - funsies!

Yeah, it kind of makes crime sound like supermarket sweep - “How many laws can contestant Brett break in just 2 minutes!?!” If he’d raped her in 10 minutes, would his sentence have been halved? How about if we give her 20 minutes to do whatever the hell she wants to him, legal or not? Given his fathers rationale, she…

Where are you getting that from this website? I couldn’t find it anywhere, and the pubmed articles I found showed the contrary, that marijuana smoking was associated with increased COPD exacerbations:

Pretty certain none of those studies have proven it’s a cure for “stage 4 cancer” (site not-provided), so, even if there are studies, there’s a lot of anecdata without backup being floated too.

Ah, the “You’re a Nazi” card,” i.e. the “I give up, I dunno what to have, let’s just order pizza” of arguments. Are you tired or something?

Seconded! I work in healthcare and look forward to the day when I don’t have to worry when I order a test or perform a procedure, that the bill will make someone short on rent, or grocery money, or anything else.

Since you are obviously too dense to understand my subtle correction, no, I have never killed a baby. Fetus does not equal baby. Hey, you’re welcome for the education!

Alternatively we can figure out what the phrases are, post them here so folks can trigger them with a search, and thereby make the algorithm seem stupid/post informed rebuttals on pertinent sites. However, I am not super-tech saavy and this may be complicated/stupid so forgive me.
