As a neuroradiologist, I see these cases occasionally. People presenting with TGA sometimes have small infarcts in their hippocampus. An example paper you can read if you are curious: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ar

Convicted in the US of something that is not in crime in much of the world. You are conflating US law with ethics/morals. You are also appealing to emotion by using 'children' and 'pedophile' in inaccurate ways. If

I'm going to argue in good faith to try and derail this hate train. First, I'm a physician and I consider myself about a borderline expert in medical billing/insurance. Let's disrupt some stuff here: First, it is EXTREME

"It boggles the mind how anyone in their right mind can believe that a cyber-squatter shoud somehow have the right to hold the domain name of a sovereign nation for ransom." I... just don't know how to respond to this. Do you

I'm pretty disappointed by all the armchair lawyering in this thread that isn't defending the individual/citizen in this case. .gov, .fr, etc were created for a reason. Trademark law is intended to protect people from intenti

Really? The negative is that they didn't act in the best interests of humanity--the very people that make up their shareholders, employees, customers, etc. For example, it's well documented that DuPont fought to continue using CFC

This is a great comment and I have to add a shady tactic that I have noticed hosts doing in competitive cities during peak times... I travel to a particular city yearly for a large conference and every time I've tried to use AirBnB for

Wow. I'm really trying to understand this house price. I just can't imagine who would think 1.3 million is a reasonable price for this house? I mean that's like a $10,000 mortgage. That's the same amount of money as a $3

Not surprised. I'm also saddened that the whistle blower died under suspicious circumstances.

I appreciate the sarcastic comment, but I don't think you understand the implication of a system like that. Even if you have more data, it doesn't better inform a patient's decision process. For example, let's say you co

Really happy you wrote this anecdote because it illustrates a point that physicians are arguing about a lot right now--how to measure quality care. Is it readmission rates, is it 30-day mortality, is it getting all the required screening ex

In the long view of history, all societies will fail. Is three generations of success enough to qualify it as a success? I don't know. But it's subjective to say it failed.

Ah, I think I misunderstood your situation. Yes, your specific case I think warrants that kind of specific, careful monitoring. I was speaking more generally about people who don't have significant past medical history who arrive with

Well, I'm sorry you aren't coming back to this post because I think you should read the reply. The healthcare system has problems, but NOT because of most doctors. Yes, just like in every field, there are unscrupulous individuals.

Because--for better or worse--this raises red flags I think. I could see a lot of people getting defensive.

Wow. I am a physician and this is perfect. 1. You just need to read about the Dunning-Kruger effect. Enough said. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect 2. Each physician has their own motivations

Fair enough. I agree on both points. But my point was not that one system is 'better' or 'worse' but that religious head-wear should not be seen as some inalienable right that we have to accommodate to remain a free soci

Culture can be affected by draconian laws also. I believe religious clothing designed to oppress women is regressive and detrimental to Democracy. Please read this: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/sep

Yes! It's not that somebody said, "hey, we can pay this person less simply because they are a woman." It's that the employee themselves may have negotiated for more. Correlation is NOT causation.

Trump? I'd love to see the odds on that bet. Mere name recognition alone does not a successful candidate make. In fact, he's already proven his loose lips will sink his primary ship long before it sailed. He successfully angered L
