[image: 1713217574996-image.jpeg] MedMalReviewer Analysis: The plaintiff did not make a very compelling case that the patient’s alleged tardive dyskinesia was caused by Seroquel. I reviewed this case with a consultation-liaison psychiatrist who noted several points: a) Seroquel does not have significant D2 antagonism at the low doses used for sleep, and the patient was only on it for about a year. Higher doses of antipsychotics for longer periods of time have a much stronger association with tardive dyskinesia. b) Limping would be a very unusual presentation of tardive dyskinesia. Abnormal movements of the face and tongue are much more common, and it doesn’t seem that the patient had these. c) Use of Seroquel for sleep is very common and well within the standard of care. It's always reassuring to see a jury reject highly questionable accusations of negligence and decide in favor of a physician. In general, juries are very favorable to physicians and decide in our favor in the large majority of cases that go to trial.

@89th said in Hey Horace!!: Cool monitor! All the better to read my posts with. I'm actually putting off reading your posts until I get an even better monitor, maybe in several years or more. The riches that await me are untold! The way I see it, good conservative Trump voters like you and me are givens. I try to keep tabs on the "other side", as it were.

@Axtremus said in This is a world war, not several local ones.: @Mik said in This is a world war, not several local ones.: A lot to agree with here. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/looking-at-today-s-wars-as-local-issues-is-a-huge-mistake-there-is-one-war-and-it-is-global/ar-BB1lDT9Q?ocid=msedgntp&pc=LCTS&cvid=74207030bcb74698b6b118aaf4666de9&ei=12 The author doesn’t seem to say where Israel/Palestine fit in this “world war” construct. Last time I checked, Israel was and remains a democracy while Hamas controlled Gaza was an authoritarian terror state led by religious fanatics through armament support from other the Islamic terror states and secular autocrats. That is where that war fits in to the bigger world war scenario.

One of my charities had a website for a while. We found that bots and spammers were the only ones trying to get anything from it. Shut it down.

I have never been a social media person and it is weird to me that so many people put faith in someone who really doesn't know anything about what they are talking about. If @jolly talked to me about life skills and DIY skills, I would listen because of his experience and knowledge. If he started talking to me about some lady skin cream he recommends for no other reason other than he is getting paid by the skin cream company, then......... maybe not so much listen. But I guess that is advertising. Has been going on probably since there have been adverts.

India still hasn’t managed to eradicate the practice of sati, the ritual burning of widows on their deceased husband’s funeral pyre, nor enforce its prohibition under the country’s criminal code under a 1987 law. In 19 century British came close to ending the practice as described by Governor Charles Napier when Hindu priests met with him to complain about the British prohibition of the practice: Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs!

@Jolly said in The Mako: A stealth aircraft with a missile that's on you before you can react? Game changer. I also found it interesting that though the hard points defeat stealthiness, they can be used for specific missions. Otherwise, invisible.

Me neither. We were riding 8’ swells in an Americas Cup boat. Me and Nelson were happy as clams and everybody else was turning green.

Well, Billy Joel’s 100th Madison Square show is on CBS. Pretty good.

@LuFins-Dad said in Quick! Smashburger Advice: Is this even a question? Did you seriously just ask if you should use bacon grease to fry a burger? Yes...much to my shame, I've never tried it. In point of fact, I have fried burgers only a few times. I don't have a wide spatula for smashing, so I read a tip - take some non-stick foil and wrap around the bottom of a saucepan. Use that to smash the burger. Worked really well. The downside is a lot of spatter and a lot of smoke. Now… How was it? I have a stovetop griddle that I used and they came out really nice. Only used salt and grilled onion. Oh, a piece of cheese as well. No ketchup, mustard or anything else.

@George-K said in "No one is above the law.": In New York, it's a felony to possess an unregistered firearm. Police took possession of E. Jean Carroll's unregistered gun after her testimony Police in New York took possession of a gun belonging to writer E. Jean Carroll in February after she said during testimony in her defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump that she had an unlicensed firearm at home, according to a police report obtained by NBC News. The chief of police in Warwick, New York, visited Carroll at her home on Feb. 15 “to discuss some open issues,” the report states, including Carroll’s disclosure of the handgun while she was on the witness stand Jan. 17. During the second day of the civil trial, Carroll had told the federal court in lower Manhattan that she kept a “high standard revolver, nine chambers” at home with ammunition. “By my bed,” she said. “I still do not have a license,” Carroll added. .22LR. Shot more than one. Lock her up!

We Were The Lucky Ones on Hulu is pretty good. So is Sugar, which I think is on Apple.
