I have to say that the older I get, the more I hear that raising children is much easier without a husband, that it's best to have kids with no father in the picture because you're going to get...
Has he always been this way or is this a new development? Most of my married classmates had very supportive spouses, but there was one woman who was a couple years behind me who did not. Her husband...
There weren't very many married people in my pharmacy class, and there was one guy who got divorced. I had heard rumors that he had slept with a lot of the girls in our class (actually, he paid them...

A large percentage of our pediatric psych patients were adopted, usually as older children, or came from the foster care system. Very astute observation. And this includes foreign adoption; I've...
If you're a Type 2 diabetic, blatantly disregarding your diet and not taking your meds will cure you of your disease (or so far too many of them think! ) Those foot pads remind me of those Enzyte...

I left the grocery store pharmacy in 2002, but even then there were several people I never saw not talking on a cell phone. One of them was a woman who was a SAHM and she would come in every single...
ITA. And the destruction they wreak on those around them, especially their innocent children, is unequaled by any other drug, even crack. In recent months, my hospital has seen a surge of people with...
I have an 8-year-old niece who wants to be a doctor, and there are a lot of things about being a doctor that we're going to let her find out about on her own. Stories like the ones on this thread are...
