@George-K said in Moscow Marjorie: You're being sarcastic, right? Actually no. LOL Didn't do my homework. Just took the summary from the congress webpage. I do see the language from above when looking at the full text.

I believe there were at least a few incidents like that. They kept them quiet at the time.

@Jolly said in I'm too old for this shit...: ICU nurses are just different ER nurses are in the same category. There was a twitter thread posted by some 1st year resident (that's an intern in the old parlance) who was upset when the nurse asked, "Are you sure you want to order that?" I don't recall what he wanted to order, but the comments were...uncomplimentary toward the attitude of the (as my wife would have called him) "little intern." I commented by saying, "Suppose you went ahead, and things go south. Try to explain that on AM rounds. 'Well, the nurse did have some concerns.'" The other extreme (and this happened to me) is talking to the nurse and saying, "What do you think?" That's how you make a friend forever.

My Dad knew Liberace as he was a Baldwin artist while he was there.

Is this the dawning of the age of Aquavious?

@Aqua-Letifer said in Shake Shack: @Mik said in Shake Shack: I have wondered if In-N-Out could maintain the level of quality they used to have while expanding. I don't think so. It's the way of things. Look at Five Guys. Phenomenal still in the D.C. locations, decidedly "meh" everywhere else. Soon even the originals will suck. Ours closed. I miss it.

Happy music for happy people...

What happens when the 12-year-olds know more about sex than the most syphilitic Parisian madames of the 18th. century? I don’t know.. Can anyone know with any certainty? Should even we care what 18th century syphilis ravaged Parisian whores knew about sex or how it could relate to the preceived promiscuity of today’s youth? Why then even ask the question?

I had the last four in the right order on the second round, then never landed on the right first letter. Grr.

@George-K said in "I'm back from a visit to Gaza": What does "short trip on a social network" mean? It means she wend down a YouTube/TikTok/X rabbit hole for a few days.

What is diagnosis if not pattern recognition.

Times change. I dont know if it is a decrease in literacy, but a change in literacy.

@George-K My understanding is that the Poles very much appreciated our willingness to share our spoils with them in this regard.
