(At least that's what the politicians say publically.) If that's really the case, then no purpose would be served by having a family member carry out the sentence.

For liability reasons, no doctor here is going to want to touch a complication caused by someone else, so the patient may be out of luck.

The dead citizens could have been quite satisfied with their care before they died; we'll never know. The only point of view we can know is that of the living, so the fact that they like their universal health care is telling.

Other times, we can tell someone they're probably okay, and they'll die quite soon. It's definitely not an exact science.

Why don't people just google a subject and find expert, competent advice or information rather than ask ABers? Let's face it, this has got to be one of the worst sources of information. e.g. would you ask an ABer for medical advice or ask a doctor? It's really all in the nuances. Sure, some information can be researched elsewhere (and I'm not at all sure that google is the best place to find exepert advice), but each person puts their own unique spin on things. That spin/slant/nuance can sometimes be as useful as the actual info itself.

Why is it when you call a medical specialist for an appointment, they are booked solid for the next 6 months, but when you have your doctor call for an appointment, they can get you in within a week? Doctors usually don't have a lot of time to spend on the phone. If they're actually taking the time to call a specialist and get an appointment, it's probably serious. (It also doesn't hurt that doctors usually like to do favors for other doctors...)

On the face of it, what he says makes sense: Someone without a relationship with God will find other relationships.

Why are diabetics supposed to only have professionals cut their toenails? Diabetics can have both poor circulation and decreased feeling in their feet. Therefore, if they cut their own toenails, they have an increased risk of injuring their feet and not even realizing it. Because of the diabetes, foot injuries can often lead to infection, which can require amputation if not treated quickly and completely. For that reason, we will refer diabetics to podiatrists...

Wouldn't airline passenger safety be enhanced, if all passengers were required to be TOTALLY NAKED on board the aircraft? How could "concealed" weapons be carried, then? (You would still be scanned for metal objects, of course.) Actually, I think the next step towards making air travel safer is to ban passengers altogether.

What was the last airport that you flew from? Philly. ARRRGGGHHH!!! I absolutely hate flying through Philadelphia. I was trying to go from Rochester NY to State College PA for a friend's wedding. Both coming and going, there was a stop-over in Philadelphia. Going there, one plane was delayed so I missed my connection. Coming home, the connecting flight was canceled altogether. And they don't even have decent food in that...

We humans as a group are not perfect. We could all stand some improvement..different areas to be sure, but improvement nevertheless. Shouldn't we focus on improving ourselves first before we tell others what they need to do to be better? I would agree. I think, though, there are some people who focus on other people's faults because they are too afraid to face their own shortcomings.

What’s the worst airline you’ve ever flown on? I don't particularly like United. Unless you're willing to cough up the extra cash to sit in "Economy Plus," you wind up being extra squished in a regular seat. When they gave extra legroom to the Economy Plus seats, they didn't change the overall number of rows. So the rest of the plane is effectively "Economy Minus." No thanks.

Could someone PLEASE tell me why so many people dislike Jewish people? What have the Jewish people done to anyone? For the longest time, we were blamed for killing Christ.

The Muslims are a different story, involving Palestine, Zionism, etc.

I think that all so-called pro-life proponents don't really believe fetuses are babies. If they did, they would behave way differently than they do. Do you agree? I think that if pro-life proponents truly believed fetuses were babies, they'd do a lot more to help them once they were born. But usually these are the same people who don't want to expand children's health insurance or support out-of-work families.

(Even though the day care itself was located in Mexico and there's no mention of anyone involved wanting to move here permanently...)

I'm NOT trivializing people who are dying of cancer when I ask this question. Why does the medical field worry about addiction to morphine if someone is dying of cancer? We shouldn't, and hopefully palliative care education has improved to the point that most of us don't. However, there are still some medical practitioners who do worry about addiction in terminal cancer patients (ridiculous, in my opinion). Why? Perhaps because of regulatory concerns, and perhaps because of a puritannical believe that suffering is somehow a good thing.

Why does travelling on long-haul flights slow your circulation? (whilst you are on the flight) It doesn't slow your circulation per se. It's just that sitting in one position with your feet on the floor allows the blood to pool in your veins. (The same thing will happen to anyone standing for a long period of time.) Combine that with dehydration, which is almost universal on long flights, and you run the risk of blood clotting. You can avoid this by: 1) getting up and...
