With a dearth of neurosurgeons in downstate, I hope they can receive the care they need. Such a sad, sad situation. I wish them well.

Unfortunately, there are only so many organs to go around so that they are donated to the people that can contribute the most to society and who are most likely able to care for themselves post transplant. That is why smokers, drinkers and cancer patients rarely get transplanted compared to...

This is very common in my house, almost expected. Young people's teeth move so quickly that the wire cam become too long within a day of placement. THis happened especially with my DD 9. Our ortho told me that if wax won't stick use sugarless chewing gum until you can get ahold of them...

Lily gator Yep, they don't want to back up their opinion,they parse their words, ignore what they don't want to answer, purposely misinterpreted others words and make excuses for felons and the law. Must be a lawyer.

Grey line being where would you place the line for sex offenders where they would stay in jail for life, where they would be released and just placed on a list and where they would just be integrated into society again. What crime warrants what punishment. Canada's legal system is much...

Cornflake Why are you unwilling to answer any direct questions? You don't have to of course but......curious. where is that grey line of acceptable vs. unacceptable in sex offenses that you talk about. I told you mine. Do you have a line? I am also curious as to why you throw out...

Cornflake I think you misunderstood me. I am very well aware that murderers are released from prison all the time. I am also aware that IMO they should not be. Therefore there should be no need for a registry for murderer. IMHO of course. However, since they are released all the...

Cornflake As to distancing my children from a sexual offender, that's my job. My job is not to figure out how bad an offender he is. Same applies to letting my child hang out with a violent offender. There is a sex offender that lives across the street ( just far away legally) from...

Cornflake Are you a lawyer who deals with these kind of cases? Where does your authority on this subject come from or is it all your opinion. Just curious as it would give me a perspective with which to process your opinions. From what I am reading from your postings you would not have...

Cornflake Just curious. What is your "skin in the game" in this? Why are you so determined to let this woman off the hook? Why, after all the evidence that has been presented, are you still willing to make excuses for her bad parenting choices. No she did not kill her daughter but...

On the eve of bil's wedding, my Mil took Dh aside and told him to break up the wedding. Under no circumstances did she want her son to marry "that woman". She then proceeded to offer ideas on how to accomplish this. My dh's response was no way because either way it went his brother would...

Depends on the residency program. It is up to the discretion of the Residency Director how they want to fill the Chief Residency position. DH is a Residency Director and his Chief Residents are voted on by all the other residents and attendings. He only gets one vote just like the others and...

Steve Jobs does not allow porn on Apple apps. The android phones do. Maybe that is the difference. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/04/steve-jobs-porn/

I waited years for Verizon to get the iphone and I can tell you I am not disappointed at all. It is everything that I anticipated and a whole lot more. I had an ipod touch and I thought that it would just be like that just with a phone but it is so much more. All the fear mongering about...

I had the same problem. My computer crashed and I needed the discs to test to see if it was a software vs hardware vs. software not communicating with the hardware problem. I called apple care and they sent them to me gratis. They also said that if you brought your computer into an apple store...

I would be interested in finding out how much clinical work vs. administrative work these physicians did. Just because you have a M.D. behind your name does not mean you see patients. In fact, many of the physicians on these types of boards are more administrative and rarely see patients in...

That is excellent news. Was it a dysplastic nevus?

While a Dermatologist is one physician who is capable of diagnosing melanoma, they are not, by far, the only physician. When I was running the Melanoma cancer clinic, the Derms never did the biopsy or the subsequent surgery, it was always the surgical oncologist who had specialty training...

The thing is that when you have had cancer in the past, getting an appointment to see about a potential new melanoma is "urgent". They have a past history and are at an increased risk of developing a new melanoma. In addition, while surgery does not necessarily need to be done immediately...

As an oncology nurse, I ran a melanoma skin cancer clinic for several years and I would not wait to be seen by the dermatologist. My advice is to not cancel your appointment but in the meantime try to get in asap to your GP, try to find a more accommodating dermatologist OR see if you can...
