So those in the top 10% of income earners in the country are now "middle class"?

Regardless of what "middle class" occupations were 200 years ago those occupations are not "middle class" currently and have not been for at least a couple generations. If you are using some other definition not derived from average yearly salary in relation to the population as ...

Since when were "Professors" in the same financial category as Dentists, Doctors, and Accountants? Further more since when did that latter group become "Middle Class"??

Congratulations! Glad everything is working out! :) So after the 10 months are you staying the Columbus area and drilling?

Because of the vast amount of material covered in medical school, the ones who do well are the ones who can memorize the best (to pass the test). Critical thinking and problem solving are not rewarded. I've gotta chime in and say that having been through medical school this is not even close to the...

It is all well and good to say that people can look however they want and that we should not judge them. But then you see the cost these people are too society when the consequences of their lifestyle come home to roost. I mean Jesus, the complications from uncontrolled type 2 diabetes alone include...

To be fair, comments on what this guy "should have done" are retarded and made in a void of any knowledge of what the situation was. Maybe little guy had clipped big guys car and big guy was on the phone with cops/insurance trying to get the thing dealt with and little guy freaked out and ...

What happens if you don't get IPAP first go around? You would be a commissioned officer so would they utilize you in some other role? I mean financially if you can go that route and get previous loans paid off as well as school paid for than that sounds pretty solid, but the trade off as far as I un...

Did you ever get in contact with a Health Professions specific recruiter? I think we talked about this before, but you can go to civilian school and get the military to pay for it and then you serve after you finish as an Officer. Lots of options but hard to find info sometimes.

Are you really trying the old "I didn't type that exact phrase!!" argument? Here's what you said about concerned parents who disagree with you on vaccines: You think it's "bullshit" that "this is even a legit discussion" and you equated disbelievers to creationists. Yo...

That you also purport to KNOW ABSOLUTELY THAT EVERYTHING IS SAFE furthers my estimation of physicians.. I would love to see where I typed that phrase? Because I don't remember claiming "absolutely that everything is safe" nor can I find it when I reread my posts. But us Doctors are all ju...

I had the pneumonia shot maybe 15? years ago - not sure if that one has a booster or if its a one and done thing? I have not had the shingles one and the only flu shot I ever got made me sick as hell - years ago - so i have passed that one since. Current recommendations are to receive the Pneumonia...

I admit I don't understand a lot of things but I have a question about something I have heard and perhaps you can explain it to me. I have heard that some of the very old vaccinations done long ago may not be active today because of a lack of exposure over the years because that particular thing is...

That this is even a legit discussion is akin to the fucking creationism vs evolution bull shit. I work so hard talking to patients about this shit to remain calm and understanding but in this forum I am going to let go a little bit because this shit is goddamn retarded. Why do people even pay for in...

The Air France example is the one I thought of, and it turned out to be pilot error, IIRC. Yeah, failure of one of the airspeed monitors which shut off auto pilot and a rookie pilot that stalled the plane into the water without the other pilot knowing because the flight sticks did not have dual fee...

But you guys will want to see this. Bunch of white chicks in tiny spandex doing a booty-dance off.

It's magical.

That is fantastic, is that how girls learn to become strippers??

If no cases have been found in the US how does it "infects one in 20 hospital patients" Between the non-sense, scare tactic language and the only quote coming from a Naturopath... I find the credibility lacking is all I will say.

Merry Christmas all! I feel like in your PA thread you talked about having some interest in the military? If you are willing to do a year long tour abroad away from family have you looked at the options for going to PA school in the military? Plus you then get the GI bill benefits. Not sure if you a...

Nelson Mandela endured through trials and tribulations that would break normal men. And the poor guy's memorial service was turned into an epic shitshow by the President of the United States taking selfies and a deranged, schizophrenic con-man doing a phony sign language pantomime... It's mind bogg...

This is the most mind blowing thing I have fucking seen in a long time. The kid is innocent because he never learned consequences... so the solution involves not enforcing consequences?!?!?! What the fuck kind of fucktard logic is this shit. There is some truth to the fact that if this kid went to j...
