Theodore Roosevelt was the 1st prez to try and create a national health service bc drs charging per service were falsely creating the need for more appointments. Drs created a lobby group to prevent that. That’s how the American Medical Association came into being.

I’m so sorry. Mine prolapsed as well, so I know the torture you experienced. Just a tip from my experience: If you don’t have bowel sounds soon, get an X-ray. I had an abscess stopping my guts from working and it took 2wks to discover.

Look, I hate China’s revanchist policies, but thinking Japan can beat them in a fight over Taiwan is delusional. Mentioning just Nanjing alone would ensure every Chinese soldier would go apeshit, and the Japanese aren’t even taught why.

China has 2 million active service personnel and 510,000 reserve. Japan has 251,500 active duty personnel and 56,000 reserve.

It’s getting to the point where democrats need to just admit there’s no longer a two party system and they can’t follow the law alone. Just walk off the job. Us frogs know we’re being boiled.

We need a super majority in both houses to achieve this. I’m sick of folks not knowing how the govt even works. Y’all just get mad when nothing changes without understanding how change can happen. Run every seat, local, state and federal, leave purity tests for after we have a super majority.

American history is littered with the corpses left by political violence. It only seems strange at the moment because there was a period of relative calm after Reagan which ended when Gabby Gifford was shot in the face.

So if you go to a Dr for a sinus infection, are you offended if they look in your ear? My dad had prostate cancer. You should be glad the report didn’t recommend a follow up blood test.

When was you last prostate exam? If it was on your chart as recent, they wouldn’t have bothered. If it wasn’t, there’s nothing wrong with them taking the two minutes needed while they were down there. Maybe this is just a guy thing. Women get poked and prodded all the time.

A camera isn’t going to be able to tell if your prostate is in trouble. You can’t see it from inside your colon.

The word blue is newer than the color. Ancient cultures didn’t have as many words for colors as we do. That doesn’t mean they didn’t see them, it’s that they weren’t important.

Very weird that up until the 1940’s pink was considered a boy’s color and blue was for girls. Don’t know why marketing campaigns suddenly switched it at that time.
