    There is no way. Hospitalists suck. If I hadn’t been my own advocate and I afraid of challenging physicians I might be minus a leg right now.

    @Axtremus said in Some malpractice suits aren’t frivolous: I was reading up on obstetrical forceps and got the impression that “pulling the baby’s head” to aid delivery was/is a common practice Yes, very common. However, as you say, done poorly, it can be dangerous. Most of the OBs with which I worked had abandoned their use, relying on a suction device to help deliver the head. The cup is applied to the fetus's scalp, and by squeezing the handle, vacuum is created. [image: 1683641019347-image.jpeg]

    Shame that they couldn’t find a JS-2 to join that line T-34/85.

    Great feeling! Yesterday my 2 year old boy fell asleep in my lap (in a chair in his room), which he normally doesn't allow. Won't be many of those moments.

    @Axtremus said in Struck Me As Funny - Japanese TV Show Plot: My observation of Japanese TV serials suggests that: Japanese TV protagonists tend to be driven by some employment based mission Japanese TV protagonists tend to draw their identities from their employments I think you are right. In north Asia, a lot of identify comes from your work and work colleagues. I just thought the show description was really funny. "Lets watch 60 minutes of someone looking at a spreadsheet! See how he notices that Company A charges 25 yen less than market value to increase product share!!!! Stay tuned!!!!"

    Well, I woke up this morning Feelin' so low and blue I woke up this morning Feelin' so low and blue My baby done left me And now I don't know what to do I tried to call her up But she don't answer the phone I tried to call her up But she don't answer the phone I guess she's moved on And now I'm all alone I thought our love was strong But I must have been wrong I thought our love was strong But I must have been wrong Now I'm sitting here Trying to write this sad song I'll drown my sorrows In a bottle of booze I'll drown my sorrows In a bottle of booze Maybe tomorrow I'll find someone new. But until I find someone new I'll just sing these lonely blues.

    @AndyD said in Kerry's Medals: On the channel I watched Mr Kerry was identified and simply described as a one time runner for president. That was it. I did wonder why he was invited. Perhaps because he's all into global-hot/cold/wet/dry like Charles?

    It is crazy how many marijuana shops there are. The article is right that there is about a couple every blocks. Many of them are quite flashy and eye catching. After a year, i am sure that at least 50% of them will be gone.
