PS SUCK MY DICK YOU FUCKING QUACK BASTARDS

No wonder you people (specifically paranoid idiots like JMill, here) don’t have socialized medicine. Paranoia the destroya!
Man, I’d like to slap you smart,
Never will you get my OHIP card.
Cause theres a red, under [your] bed,
And there’s a little yellow man in [your] head…
89% of the reason to go to war is due to this kind of paranoid thinking exactly, which then allows idiot to by 36,000 dollars to ship a handful of 5 cent lug nuts to Afghanistan so s/he can line her pocket with kick backs, which they can then use to buy smokes, booze and crappy food.

Reality check please: In no country that has universal health care are people refused care based on their lack of being smart enough to not eat/drink/smoke the shit that may cause them to require extensive medical care later. The medical profession get’s that stupid behaviour (read human) (and no, dipshit I did not spell behaviour wrong; I’m Canadian) and addictions of all kinds are as much a medical condition as anything else.

And yes, you dip, the taxes on those things which cause us harm are a perfectly reasonable way of gaining funds to pay for said medical care — I think it’s called pay as go you poison yourself, or taxation of stupid, so the care will be for you later — bonus, these things cost more being taxed and all, so that some people may be less inclined to pay for the thing that will cause them harm. S’cuse me while I light one of my $0.37 cent cigarettes (hey sick people are human too!)

And in the words of the hilarious Tracy “boogity-boogity!”
– let’s go for a beer, dear.

WAAAH, the doctor is late for my appointment……sorry, I just spent an extra 15 min with the daughter of an 84 yo lady to explain her mom’s condition……..you selfish pricks……happened today……TRUE STORY

Otto. Good point for you….. but spending 6-8 hrs waiting for the TV is acceptable to you….20-30 (or 45) min for the doc & your health is not….we agree to disagree on that I guess

Socialized medicine…..I won’t go there….this forum is supposed to be about dick joke & busting balls.

I will say that the current rules for limiting resident work hrs will bring a firestorm of problems in the next decade….estimate that it will take 1.5-2.5 new docs to make up the work currently being done by one doc since they are only used to “shift work”….and there aren’t enough being trained at present. If you think “tired docs” make mistakes, wait til your case is handed off from doc-to-doc every 8 hrs. It will also have our new trainees taking more years to gain the proper experience to perform their duties since they can only work limited hrs during training. (Not my opinion, the American College of Cardiology’s). This is the “Pussification” of medicine IMO. “Oh, Mr Drew, you’re having severe chest pain? I’m going off duty now & will be signing out to the next shift in a few minutes…..gotta get my rest so I don’t make any mistakes that my archaic predessors did….good luck, see you tomorrow…..maybe.
IS THAT REALLY YOUR POINT M.O.T? I’ve seen resident leave the site of a cardiac arrest because they couldn’t work beyond a certain number of hrs…..NO ONE DENIES THIS!

Although medical training is tuff, I have too many friends that went Marines or Ranger training to complain. By the way, they tend to go without much sleep during their training too

“I hate docs”…..I’ll just say that crushing chest pain is a great equalizer (as Al Pacino would say, “all the sudden I’m their daddy. Come the wetass hour I’m everybody’s daddy.”)

What did I learn here? You guys don’t like to wait….got it……we gotta do better……and I’ll stock some better magazines to keep you occupied when I don’t.

AND DON”T FORGET THE FUCKING PERCOCETS!!
LACK OF NFL….. MAKES ME FUCKING CRAZY!!!!!

/need sex jokes now
//if a pizza/stromboli is anonymously delivered to your door,enjoy, it’s on me….better than investing in the stock market!!

I also hate them because whenever I go and visit my mom, she always bitches about being in the doc’s office for 2-3.5 hours just to get a fucking prescription. God damn that shit pisses me off.

futhermore, if you were able to read what i have written, you would have already garnered the point that i think health care in the united states certainly needs to be improved (see the last sentence of the first paragraph of my last post). i think that it sucks. what i am also saying is that what has been proposed is not going to work, for some of the reasons that i will not repeat, but have been brought up in this thread.

right now i am more concerned about the educational system in this country, seeing as how you can’t read what has already been written.

i can see that i will have no impact on you, due to your own inability to listen to someone who knows more about this subject than you.

And seeing how the point which you were trying to rebut was UU’s point that organic chemistry was easier than English lit, your retort about organic chemistry being much easier than your residency had about as much argument and logic in it as anything else you’ve written here.

My point: You’ve been saying the current system is just fine and dandy, and then you provided a nice example of how it overworks residents in a ridiculous counterproductive fashion, which suggests it isn’t fine and dandy.

And the bigger point stands — you suck at making a case for your point of view.

miles o’toole – i find it to be somewhat offensive that you say i compromised patient safety. i wasn’t too tired to remember how to care for those patients. so, i would say, i wasn’t too tired to remember ‘primum non nocere’
