I was recently talking to my husband about this. So many serious and life threatening conditions have similar symptoms to other, non-life threatening conditions. I recently had an uncomfortable, kinda sore feeling in my left chest and I waffled on whether or not it could be a heart attack and should I go to the ER. My…

Additionally, it also happens in the States and to pretend otherwise is silly. If you go to the ER/Urgent Care, you’re usually seen in the order of severity. If I call up my doctor for a check-up, they’ll schedule me as is convenient, maybe next day, maybe in a week. If I call up my doctor and say that I think I have…

Yeah, that’s exactly what I was trying to say, although you said it much better. (I’ve got a head cold right now, so I’m all over the place)

Thanks. It’s just a head cold, but it has the side effect of spending all day on Jezebel while sitting in pajamas. 

I see that now, thanks for letting me know. My troll detector seems to have been broken by cold meds

Did not know that, thanks for letting me know.

The reality is that some people don’t have anyone. For example, if I didn’t have my husband or his family, I wouldn’t have anyone. When I had surgery after giving birth, I needed someone to take care of my kidlet because I couldn’t. My mom agreed to help me. She came over one day and that was it. Never showed up for…

It’s easy to just say, “Find a way to pay” when you aren’t the one looking at a couple thousand dollars, if not a full five figures. Additionally, that assumes that she could get a ride that far away, which also costs money. And if she had kids, she would need to find childcare. On top of that, she is pregnant, sick,…

There aren’t any other hospital systems in that area, at least none that provide services related to pregnancy and birth. Muskegon isn’t that large of a place. In addition, her insurance may not have covered any other hospital system.

You forgot Hillary’s health. She takes naps. Sad. Trump has so much stamina, look at how he gropes women. That’s what winners do.

Ooooo! I like it. Simple, requires some historical knowledge but not too much, deflects Putin onto Hillary, and Trumpy buzzwords.

I want to hear the excuses. We all know they’ll be ridiculous, but I just want to hear his campaign try and convince voters that all of these women are liars, they’re all looking for money, they’re all ugly, etc.
The more women who come forward plus the weasley excuses just make him look so much more pathetic.

I like that sentence though. It makes a much more action packed, dramatic story.

*sigh* Those queer, poor, non-white fetuses just have no concept of how to work hard.

Well, duh. That’s because rich straight white men have probably done something to earn it along the way. In fact, they probably did something nice for someone at sometime at an unspecified place. They’re practically a saint because of it! And they once tipped 10%!

Ah, yes, I was waiting for this.

I got a registered voter card in the mail after I registered and after each time I moved. It has my name, my district and polling area, and I *think* my address. But my state also requires photo ID or otherwise a sworn affidavit. On top of that, the workers have a list of registered voters in our district, right in…

My parents had stacks of them in the basement. Stacks. Stacks to hand out to unsuspecting victims, probably on Halloween.

My thought was one big NOPE. The kid is two-thirds out and the doctor wants to punch the kid and evacuate its brain? NOPE. Childbirth is painful enough, damn doctor better not be extending labor for me just GET THE DAMN KID OUT NOW.

In my husband’s family, while he was growing up, there was the family TV. No TV allowed in the kid’s bedrooms. My husband, being the lawyer type that he is, got upset at this. He pointed out that, since his mom ran an in-home daycare, he could never watch anything until after 6pm, and by then, the adults wanted to eat…
