Things That Are Bullsh*t (11 Viewers)

Guys. Seriously. Go start a politics thread.

No one cares your personal take on macro or micro economics. Are you a poly sci major? Are you an economist? Have you traveled the world and studied factors of and impacts to economies?

Please take it to Politics thread. You’ll find similar people who want to simply keep saying the same point over and over with anecdotal, not factual, examples. Plenty of room to share your ego and sociocentric beliefs and values there.

Sorry to bring the thread back in a rough way:

Friend's stepkid, Highschool senior, double lung transplant. Waitlist, makes it to the front. The transplant takes at first, looking great, then body rejects it months later and kills the kid.

Absolute bullshit. Nothing is fair. Just fuming. Right before the holidays.

This sounds horrible. I think the post-transplant team has some explaining to do. Antirejection drugs are (supposed to be) standardized and very closely monitored.

Even then, things change on a dime. I had a kidney transplant patient one day completely fine, walked 200 feet earlier that day with PT, perfect vitals, ate well, nothing wrong the day I saw them.

Next day I walk in and was told they passed away overnight. BP dropped on a dime, hypoxic. Threw a PE even though they were on blood thinners and was having their medication levels monitored weekly.

Sure, medicine isn't perfect and you can't predict everything, but when a transplant patient dies because of transplant rejection then that deserves to be investigated thoroughly.
 
Got sad news today. After 7 years of medical training, my good friend has been struck off after one minor indiscretion. He slept with one of his patients & now can no longer work in the job he loves. What a waste of time, training & money. A genuinely nice guy, and a great veterinarian.

Happy and healthy with family, happy New Years, but the fireworks and guns drives the dog nuts. Cant get her out of a blanket fort shes created.
 
This NYE broadcast clown thinking he can casually change the lyrics to Frank Sinatra's My Way as if we want that.

Edit: Ah shit

Paul Anka writer of My Way

"My Way" is a song popularized in 1969 by Frank Sinatra set to the music of the French song "Comme d'habitude" composed by Jacques Revaux with lyrics by Gilles Thibaut and Claude François[1][2] and first performed in 1967 by Claude François.

The English lyrics of the song were written by Paul Anka and are unrelated to the original French song.

Woah! I learned today, thanks. But his "Imagine" was lacking lol. Had no idea. Knew Sinatra wasn't excited about singing it, but didn't know it was written elsewhere.
