  1. Yes the rise of hope in America by electing a Black President and the immediate rise of the anti-Obama Tea Party was a moment that wound up being a seismic shift that lead us here to where we are...
  2. I think Republicans know they shouldn't touch gay marriage. They gave up that fight long ago. For the last 10 years or so public support has turned the tide in favor of gay marriage....
  3. Totally agree. Trump first has to get out of the way first. He will get all the Trump supporters on his side, but he's smarter than Trump and if he plays it right non-Trump supporting republicans...
  4. Agree. Long ago we set up this country that the military is non-partisan and civilian controlled. Training shouldn't be killing people. Was interesting to read a comment from a reader...

    Still think it's MRCP because when you Google MRCT nothing comes up. Doesn't matter. Seems like the docs are addressing multiple problems at once and hope he gets well and complies with treatment...

    Good morning! Joe, bummer about the dad's apartment. How are the rents there? Here rents have gone up to unaffordable rates. It's a big story. I'm currently doing an online chat to change...

    I wonder if they are doing an MRCP? If he's having gallbladder issues as evidenced on an ultrasound or elevated liver enzymes an MRCP, which is an MRI that looks at the heptobilliary tree would be...
  8. I saw a snippet on Fox News that VP Harris refused to define "semi-fascist" (which they define as slamming half of America) but I couldn't find it online. They were also making a big to do about...

    Good morning! Joe, I hope the allergies tame down for you both. I hope you have a fairly ordinary week. J22, hope the return to reality is good. Stars, hope you get a good report from...

    Thanks Stars. We don't have access to food on my floor and sometimes our kitchen is very short staffed and they just ignore our pleas to bring the patient something to eat. It's very...
  11. In reference to "The Northern Ireland Protocol". Who knew?
  12. I heard this on a podcast and I'm glad I'm not alone in being concerned.

    Most likely Mr. Stars needed to be NPO for the US but after that they should have tried to get him some food. These are the kinds of things that are important to patients and what they remember most....
  14. Interesting take on a right wing candidate in Wisconsin....
  15. BBC interviewed some people in Belarus recently on their Podcast. Scary stuff. One man was in Belarus and his sister was in Ukraine. He disowned her after she tried to tell him the

    Glad to hear the doc is keeping touch with you Stars and that the librium is doing well. Got to watch that "Day 3" though. That's crazy about the thoracentesis not being authorized. Weird. The...
  17. He has a whole lot of power and it's unlikely his reign of terror will end anytime soon, but good to hear the tides might be turning against him. Having control of the media, he still enjoys...
  18. I've already pointed out that not everyone debates including the senators here in Florida, but suddenly the virtues of debate such as pointed out by Beerman are important in this race. He's on Fox...

    Good morning! Joe, sounds like you have a good day planned. I think people have to pay for credit reports so probably the landlord doesn't want to do that. The drive to yoga wasn't...
  20. Fact checking anti-Trump rhetoric from the Lincoln Project. Side note, interesting that Trump is sitting on 100 million in donations and that he can use them to pay his lawyers....
  21. Your right, but still I think 75% of UTI in the hospital acquired UTI's are associated with indwelling. But I don't suppose you measure hospital acquired UTIs and go back and see if they've been...
  22. If the manager is saying straight cath without an order then no that's not legal. If the manager is saying, "let's talk about this before you call the doctor to get an order for a foley" that's...

    January 6 Select Committee

    Clearly some politicians are trying to change the narrative of that day, can't acknowledge that the events were criminal because they think it's patriotic, and can't move on. Reminds of the time...
  24. I'm not a movie critic, but I like going to and streaming movies. I'll pass on this one, not just because of the anti-Biden bias, but it just looks like a bad movie....

    I figured they'd admit him for telemetry and new onset a-fib. Hopefully the nurse was just saying that nothing was ordered for pain and will address his complaints of pain. Hopefully the MD orders...
