Heard an interview of a nephew or something of Saddam Hussein once, he commented, "you can be evil, but you can still be fun!"
Never heard of that, but in MN we have a thing where we coat dill pickles in a layer of cream cheese wrapped in ham and it's unexpectedly delicious. More recently people have started referring to it as Minnesota sushi
Vital protection from stabbing
Your insurance is likely already subsidized by either your employer or the government, so it probably costs more than that actually. There's also likely been a lot of wheeling and dealing behind the scenes with that network that changes pricing. But I agree that it'd be nice if we had a system with less artificial complexity that covered all people.
If you figure it out, let me know. I'm an ER doc and am so burned out now. As an RN though, you are way less trapped than I am.
Her whole outfit looks lovely, but damn, those shoes are making my feet hurt just looking at them...
Sure, but what he is talking about is how things like gfr (a measure of kidney function) were calculated differently based on race. Most hospitals are now changing the way labs are reported to get rid of this distinction.
Referrals are a thing in many countries with universal health care. Sometimes more so than in the US. Sometimes they might use a different word. Also, many countries have longer waits for this sort of thing than the US. The $3 price tag is hard to beat though ...
My husband and I have everything joint, I feel like anything else would really complicate stuff. We don't micromanage each other's spending, but do discuss large purchases. But that only works because we have similar financial values. And neither of us is buying treadmills willy nilly, lol. We had some friends who kept it all separate bc one of them had a gambling problem. Good luck figuring out what works best for you guys!
....what if I am both?
Oh dear. Just use the sour cream next time. Or water.
Doomsday prepping for Y2K?
Don't forget that it was also ridiculed as a "yuppie vaccine" that prevented an unimportant disease. Which, living in a high Lyme disease incidence state, seems ridiculous to me.
True, but the way it was stated made it sound like their existence is a problem, while it's really the exploitation that's an issue. I just wanted to point out that- like with farming- there are ways the practice can and does exist without abuse.
Wet nurses have existed in ways that don't include exploitation as well. Not everyone can breastfeed their baby and formula is only recently a thing. Obviously super gross though when exploitation and slavery get involved.
Meh, wouldn't even be top ten stupid things I've seen
I thought the joke was like, they were mixed race, and therefore, "half sister"
It's possible they weren't trying to attack anyone? Just a bad play on words that didn't quite land the joke
There isn't more room in our ERs... We're full here now too since there are way too few nurses post-pandemic. But you can get outpatient imaging faster! So that's a win i guess.
I mean, I was raised Catholic, mom's whole family is Catholic, husband's family/most of his friends from his Catholic high school are Catholic, went to CCD, attended a Catholic university, and still sporadically attend mass, so i know a lot of Catholics. Most of them (including some priests)have read HP and liked it. My Catholic aunt took me to the HP movies and my SIL who is super Catholic is a diehard HP fangirl. Catholics aren't perfect, but this particular criticism is just not based in fact
Most Catholics i know have no problem with Harry Potter...i think you're thinking of evangelicals
For instance, there is some debate worldwide about the best way to proceed with gender affirming care to improve outcomes. For example, some ppl might refuse to do surgery on a teenager, others may proceed with it. That's reasonable. Refusing to treat a trans person's pneumonia or heart attack, that would NOT be reasonable.
There is nuance though. And room for ethical disagreements. Health professionals should be able to refuse care they believe causes harm, but NEVER be allowed to refuse the right care for someone just because they don't like something they've done.
There's a difference between not providing care you find morally wrong and refusing to treat someone because you feel they've done something morally wrong.
I understand the distrust for sure, but spreading misinformation about the water quality does more harm than good for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is lowering property values in Flint and further stigmatizing the children who were victims of the disaster.
True, but the whole reason for mens vs womens sports is physiological differences. If we are going to discount all those, there shouldn't be separate leagues for anything. And trans women who take blockers before puberty should prob be in the no (or more accurately low) testosterone group, but going through male puberty does have lifelong physical effects that can lead to physical advantages/disadvantages in certain areas (which again, is the whole reason for separating men's and women's sports)
It's not the only factor, but I think it's the dominant one that determines the generalizable differences in men's and women's athletic abilities
Sports, people should be allowed to be included with the gender they identify as since the goal of high school sports is different than that of professional sports
Forgot to also say that for those trans women who were treated with hormone blockers and never went through biological male puberty, competing in professional women's sports is likely still fair and reasonable. And again, for high school
