Hah!

Totally untrue. Antibiotics may have done the job for little staph infections, but many need to be drained. I'm a surgeon, I drain A LOT of staph abscesses.

I have been single for a long long time—mostly self-inflicted. I have been on some combination of OK Cupid, Match, eHarmony, and Tinder, for YEARS, but have never responded to anyone...until a month ago. I responded to one person and am now pretty smitten. It’s a great match so far. I NEVER expected this. EVER. I…

I'm an aunt, and no way am I changing diapers. Seriously, if you choose to have the kid, diapers are your issue—not mine.

WHY CAN’T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF FREE SPEECH!!!!! GAHHH!

Case in point. This was gross then, now, and always.

Douche fest 2015. Holy crap!

If this ‘child’ (an adult by every sane measure) wanted true autonomy, she should have enrolled in a state school and have taken out loans. To accept the support of her parents so that she can go to an Ivy is to enter a contract. As an adult, she should know that investors need updates on their investments. To provide…

I hate to say that this may not be bullshit. I have seen this stuff as a surgeon, both in training and in practice. Her hair tie probably caused micro-abrasions, the glitter definitely makes that more likely, and the bacteria was probably normal skin flora that we ALL have. The triple-infection stuff makes me think…

Can you please clarify ‘Pinkham’s Law’? I'm seriously entertained by your writing but feel like I'm missing something ;)

Can you enlighten me on ‘Pinkham’s Law’? I keep seeing it in the comments. Thanks!

Oishii is sooooo good...

Whoa. This secular humanist just had her mind blown! Thanks!

Fair enough. They did have two episodes in which people were induced into a psychotic events only to then viciously murder a loved one.

He was the schizophrenic vigilante on Criminal Minds who murdered his neighbor and her daughter. I know, it's sad that I came to that on my own without IMDB.

Wasn’t that L&O SVU? I remember watching Mariska Hargitay pretending to be attracted to him and it made me laugh.

Think I'd like to vote blonde dude out of Shondaland.

Oh man, I was soooo lucky that I was a patient before I became a doctor. Seriously, I already KNEW that RNs, and all of the committed members of a patient care team, were more important as a part of the patient experience than MDs in many / most cases.

I have had a six digit passcode for my iPhone for at least a few years, how is it new?

Chris Collins has got it right—and not only in terms of ending conversations. I was SO tired of feeling guilty when I had to say no to a request that I often ended up doing favors I resented myself for, and I was ALSO sick of the dramatic and annoying ‘mea culpas’ that I had to endure if someone had a hard time saying…
