My point was more regarding whether a pelvic exam was necessary for a UTI at all. Not how involved an exam should be, but good point on being thorough and why.

To be honest, what she can receive now is simply palliative as by definition, she has stage IV breast cancer.

“My intentions was to have God kill me. I ran out of bullets,” he said. “Suicide by cop was my intention.”

I didn’t know about IO access. Fascinating. You are right about the literature supporting new procedures and whether insurance will pay.

There’s something wrong with me because I thought this was about his neck.

I sympathize with your pain. That being said, you had what is called an ex lap, or exploratory laparotomy. By definition the surgery was exploratory. Because the cause of your pain was cryptogenic and no definitive cause could be identified, the removal of your appendix was to ensure that any future episodes could not…

I do fieldwork in the Canadian Arctic and Subarctic, where bears (black/brown/grizzly/polar, depending on where you are) are something you have to think about.

If being treated like an asshole by the TSA is really just their version of negging, then I can officially confirm the TSA is the sluttiest of all government agencies.

Specialists also tend to have substantially larger egos. Not the surgeon who worked on my spinal cord though. She was a peach.

IF ANY OF YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR DOG WITHOUT POSTING CUTE DOG PICS, YOU DESERVE TO BE IN THE GREYS

His stellar résumé is enough to land him a job as Surgeon General in the new administration.

No. But what is your point, because that’s not the premise of the article. The article? Its discussing the pretext of stopping these women in the first place. I think driving without insurance is a fiduciary infraction that in no way indicates one’s fitness to operate a motor vehicle. A lack of imsurance cannot…

They absolutely do need a handup and less assholes judging them and telling them they are worthless.

I see you have chosen to ignore the systemic racist fuckery that is the justice system in majority of our nation. Keep doing you, it’s really working; perhaps you benefit from the profits - monetary and otherwise. 

Oh man. Thank you for clearly stating that. The instant judgement of the initial poster is disturbing. There appears to be zero understanding of how these women are being affected by unfair scrutiny. The desperate and daily grind for a woman without proper resources to care for her children is often unimaginable. I…

None of the women mentioned in the article had a DUI. Your comment is needlessly judgmental and not relevant to the issues under discussion, and your lack of sympathy (let alone empathy) is disheartening. Apparently you have never received a speeding ticket or a parking ticket, which I find difficult to believe.

We’ve got a live one! You spoke the truth. This person didn’t just miss the point, he/she deliberately swerved away from it. The folks who fetishize ‘blue lives’ see every stop involving a black person as automatically valid and heroic. All officers are infallible, all black people are/will be/have been criminals.…

This isn’t about being a good driver—it’s about being able to pay your traffic fines. Even good drivers get tickets, son, and not every city has the benefit of an extensive transit system that people can use to get to work and take their kids to daycare.

Trump gave up more intel in 5 minutes with the Russians than John McCain did in 5 years of torture from the North Vietnamese.
