Are they allowed to have that many players on the court at once?

My favorite part of this is the all caps note taped to the monitor to log off Epic, not Windows. A reminder that a lot of doctors are inexplicably bad at using computers.

Was I the only person who initially thought they revealed a character named "Inappropriate"

This is complete nonsense.

wait wat

As far as I'm aware fecal transplant has only been tested for use in patients with pseudomembranous colitis caused by Clostridium difficile. It could work for other conditions, but no major studies have been conducted.

The hatchet could very well have punctured the lung there. In any case, a tension pneumo is acutely life threatening and a very likely outcome of that wound.

It just seems that, considering the modern influence of globalization and the significance of economic growth to Russia, the EU, the PRC, and the USA, it is completely nonsensical for any of these entities to come to blows over just about anything short of a proximate existential threat. The days of spheres of…

It would surely be insanity.

800 air-breathing horses is a wonderful and amazing thing, and no amount of forced induction can improve upon it. Such a change would produce something that, while wonderful, is simply not the same kind of thing. The normally aspirated engine is a dying breed, and I think it is wholly appropriate for a car as…

This was not a fugue state because it lacked any amnestic quality. If similar behavior were to continue, it would definitely suggest some mental illness, more likely schizophrenia. I don't think this episode alone is indicative of anything.

Yeah I'm sure you've seen those dispensers filled with the stacks of little conical black tips on the wall at the doctor's office.

I know you're kind of kidding, but just in case, from the link:

The ear light thingy has disposable tips, too. But the rest of it should be cleaned regularly.

Usually, the surfaces you listed that are not your mouth (lamp and instrument table) should be draped in a clean plastic cover before your procedure or exam begins. If you have a competent immune system, incidental exposure is safe; a dental cleaning does not need to be quite as sterile as an operating field.

I mean I happen to think there's a difference between:

I accept your point. It is possible that the way I phrased it could be misleading.

I was basing that figure on average CEO pay at 323 S&P 500 firms as reported by the AP last year. Admittedly, the sample is biased toward larger companies (median market cap on the S&P 500 is about $10b, while the UAW has about $1b in assets), but I think it represents a similar organizational scale (the UAW has many…

Based on public disclosures, UAW leadership is not in the top 1% of American household or individual incomes. They are in roughly the top 3% of individual incomes (top 5% for men, who average higher pay) and (assuming their households are single income, which may not be true) the top 10% of household incomes.

For better or for worse, experience in high-risk fields (air travel, nuclear power, etc.) has demonstrated that the best way to reduce errors is by changing processes and the environment.
