My daughter got ear tubes put in and it cost more than it did to birth her. I don't know what that means.

« on: July 03, 2012, 10:44:29 PM »While the Royals have had some dry spells hitting/scoring, I rarely think of offense as a major problem for this team. Especially when you are throwing a guy like Sanchez out there every 5th game.
Yeah, GB is just a giant douche.

« on: July 03, 2012, 09:51:32 PM »OSHA is a horrible, horrible organization. You can get fined $8000 for not having a piece of paper on what do do if you accidentally drink 409 cleaner.
then just print out a rough ridin' piece of paper. seems a lot easier than paying 8000 dollars.

« on: July 03, 2012, 11:44:08 AM »That was just for the lawyers on here.They may not retire immediately, but I think the bigger problem is that the profession will not be as lucrative as it once was. The assumption is that this may be a deciding factor in young people investing the time and effort it takes to become a doctor. Factor in the additional time it will take to pay off student loans due to the lower earnings and it seems somewhat reasonable that a 22 year old will say, "eff that, I ain't going to become a doc and then work until I am 70 to pay off my student loans."I have no doubt that the poor people will just continue to use the ER. It is very difficult to find a family practitioner that sees new patients now, and the larger patient pool this provides will make it completely impossible. Nobody is going to wait in line for hours at a walk in clinic to get preventative care.
Just wait until the mass retirement of doctors not willing to work for the mandated fees for service. Expect 6 month waits to see a nurse practitioner. It will be rare to actually see a real doctor.
It already is very hard to see a real doctor, and that has nothing to do with this legislation.
Also, I don't really buy this doctors quitting because of fees stuff. What else are they going to do that provides them the lifestyle they currently enjoy? The government forcing the doctors to provide service at a rate that's not quite as ridiculous as they are currently charging doesn't seem that ridiculous to me.
What is that 22 year old going to do instead?
Law School?
Those professions seem like they would require different skill sets. I think engineer is more likely, but being a doctor would have to become a lot less lucrative before kids want to be engineers instead of doctors.
If the average family physician loses 33% of their income, assuming the average income is about $180k for a family physician (I know some make a hell of a lot more, but some make a hell of a lot less- I googled it and $180k seemed like a decent average and it makes the math easy), then the average income drops to $120k. Throw in the $100k in med school loans, it seems reasonable to me that some kids will gladly jump on the engineer train and start out at $70k (or whatever it is these days) and work their way up without the medical school debt. Don't forget that the engineer starts making money 8 years earlier than the physician.
You are not factoring in the gigantic ego s that doctors have, the prestige isn't going away.

« on: July 02, 2012, 09:57:10 PM »James' problem is that people loved Jordan not just for his on-court heroics, but the wholesome, family-friendly, all-around likable nature of his lifestyle.
Plus, he wasn't a quitter. He never left his team high and dry to pursue any selfish whims.
Which is funny, because Michael Jordan is/was addicted to gambling.
So?

That is terrifying. I had a swarm of bees chase after me one time and I freaked out. Did not get stung though.
It was the worst, scariest thing that had ever happened to me. It took several years for me not to have near panic attacks around buzzing sounds
