It's like a week after Trump danced on Ginsbergs grave and DC is filled with plague, joint chiefs got it now

Was she a gypsy/witch?

It could start raining toads and I wouldn't be surprised these days. So anything's possible!

It's the other way around, if the so-called expert can't come up with anything a layman can't come up with, he's no expert at all regardless of the framed paper hanging on his wall. Just last month for god's sake I talked to a doctor who DID NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Dude's credentials might as well be printed on toilet paper. I'm not writing this out for the sake of argument, but to hopefully save you grief once the time comes you need health care--and make no mistake, you'll get there sooner or later* assuming some freak accident doesn't take you out. Use them as a resource, but never trust them uncritically.

*It is ordained by nature from the moment we're born, that all of us will die and most of us are going to die in misery.

This is kind contrary to my entire life's experience.

My dad had surgery that fixed something he was trying to fix for the 10 years that lead up to it. He basically became 20 years younger and is now 92, he was at a hospice at 78 leading up tot he surgery. It was covered and never had any major impact on our savings. From my perspective I was watching him get exactly the care I expected from a hospital, I was happy 100% with his treatment even when he was having no success. At no point did me or my family feel he was being jerked around, and the hospitals and doctors we talked to seemed to be working super hard to find a solution to his mystery problem. Poor guy loved red meat and had to take sipero to eat it and was only allowed to like once a year! My mother had a surgery too, all payed for by her health insurance, that surgery allowed her to walk on her knee that was giving out.

We are super super super low middle class. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Might be where you live? I can accept the best and brightest of their profession aren't exactly beating down the doors to work here in Ohio. For the past 20 years or so nearly every experience I've had with the medical field has been overwhelmingly negative. Seemed like something started to go wrong with the business around circa 2000ish. When my own dad was in for for a major heart attack in 1988 it was much as you describe, nothing but a positive experience. He was as good as dead and ended up living another 20 years. I'm sincerely glad you've had better experience than I have and I wish your side of it was universal.

That's gotta be it.

I did go to a new doctor when i was in the south and on the wall was a poster that said, 3 cures for upset stomach, and a glass of Coke was one of them. I was like, not sure I'm in the right place.. lol!

These examples were in some pretty good areas, my parents chose wisely, so to speak. Makes me think it's time to move home lol!

edit: my mom was from the south and she always gave me coke when I felt sick, I loved it. In collage my roommates roasted me SO HARD about it when I was sick once, and I was like, b-b-b-but its doctors orders? then 20 years later I saw that poster and was like HAH that's where my southern mom got it! :P

Double-down on stubborn refusal to accept reality, in exchange for idealism on how things "should" be.

Should =/= reality, you obdurate sumbitch.

Prediction

330 - 208 Trump wins (bigger than the 304-227 where Trump thumped Clinton)
