Not that we should believe anything that is in the media, but your adamant defense of cops like this one is ridiculous. And cops like this is why I don't even open the door for them. I realize it's less than 1% of the police officers out there, but that 0.5% can ruin your life, or worse, and...

From the BMJ metaanalysis itself: "Medical error has been defined as an unintended act (either of omission or commission) or one that does not achieve its intended outcome...." This means if you come to my ED and you are dieing, and I give you medication to try to keep you from dieing, yet you...

Congratulations, you made it to the 6th post in this thread before proving Godwin's law.

From the BMJ article itself: "Medical error has been defined as an unintended act (either of omission or commission) or one that does not achieve its intended outcome...." Most people die in hospitals. Most people in hospitals who die have some sort of medical act or treatment whose goal is...

It's all about how you measure stuff. I'm all about finding ways to reduce medical errors, but I think most of this is media hype.

narcan = now she is in intense pain again = another "error".

Except the only way that Bernie is going to get his "shit" paid for is by pixie dust and unicorns. Of course, even if THAT were explained to many of his supporters they would still LOVE him because of his promises of free stuff.

First - errors do not equal malpractice. Second - the more complicated the system, the more errors will be made. Errors are absolutely common when caring for critically ill patients. Third - The "results" say errors MAY be the cause of this many. It would be an oversimplification to state...

Again, read the constitution. The Commerce Clause was written to LIMIT the power of the federal government. Unfortunately, with Wickard v. Filburn ruling, there is NOTHING that the federal government cannot regulate now. Nothing.

I don't blame the least wealthy for not paying taxes, nor do I blame the wealthy for using every legal method there is to avoid paying taxes I blame the politicians for setting up a system where so few pay income tax. This is the same system that allows all of the tax breaks & such that the...

Good. But that's not what I said. I said most of us are okay with a moderately progressive tax system. We have an extremely progressive tax system right now.

I will try to type slowly so you can understand it. Most of us are okay with a moderately progressive tax system. If that sentence is difficult for you to understand because you've been brainwashed, just read it over and over again. It might just sink in. Our problem isn't that we don't tax...

The liberal clown-faced idiots will never understand this, but conservatives are not against appropriate taxation. Some of us are even okay with a moderately progressive tax system. However when 40+ percent of the citizens don't pay income tax, the entire burden is placed on the rest of us...

I realize you are a member of the looney left, but try to read. This exercise wasn't about teaching ABOUT islam, it was more about indoctrinating children into the misbelief that islamic women suffer widespread discrimination in American society. If they had used this (wearing the hajib) as...

Cops should do their jobs and not allow themselves to be provoked. Problem solved. I have to care for patients to the best of my ability, without any thought to whether they are an asset or detriment to society. Even the kid who was being chased by the cops, ate a grocery bag full of meth...
