it's possible that I'm misunderstanding here but I think the sepsis diagnosis is from a retrospective review of her file. at the time there was no sepsis diagnosis. they even specifically call out that doctor for having been under review for missing diagnoses in the past

After two hours of IV fluids, one dose of antibiotics, and some Tylenol, Crain’s fever didn’t go down, her pulse remained high, and the fetal heart rate was abnormally fast, medical records show. Hawkins noted that Crain had strep and a urinary tract infection, wrote up a prescription and discharged her.

Hawkins had missed infections before. Eight years earlier, the Texas Medical Board found that he had failed to diagnose appendicitis in one patient and syphilis in another. In the latter case, the board noted that his error “may have contributed to the fetal demise of one of her twins.” The board issued an order to have Hawkins’ medical practice monitored; the order was lifted two years later. (Hawkins did not respond to several attempts to reach him.)

ive always imagined that test audiences believed it to be a prosthetic and therefore a deliberate creative choice by lars von trier. which is fucking hilarious, because it so thoroughly cheapens the serious arthouse themes he was playing with of like sex and nature and depression if you believe another theme he wanted to showcase was "and the guy has an absolutely monstrous hog"

ok, can I see the data?

the people we should be concerned about getting their hands on this data are not like, goateed hackers. they're banks, insurance companies, recruiters. those are some pretty powerful lobbies

look, I read the Economist every time I'm at my dentist's office, so I'm obviously a little bit ahead of the curve in terms of political literacy, but I'm not sure I understand what this comic is trying to say, given that the events it depicts did not literally happen. could someone explain what this comic means? it would be a great help.

unrelatedly, but just as urgently, is there anyone who is an expert in going to the bathroom? I got to the part where my pants are fully pulled down around my ankles, but I'm not sure how to sit if I have to make both doodie and weewee. I'm guessing I face the tank? thanks in advance.

they're not really doing this, are they? i assumed it was a clickbait outrage farm concept that would never see the light of day

running a picture of myself through the app fifty times instead of getting an MRI

dinosaurs may have had big honkers there's simply no way to know whether or not they had big mommy milkers the soft tissue of the gazongas is not preserved in the fossil record experts are divided on the question of whether dinosaurs had huge jugs each outcome is equally likely there is a fifty percent chance that every dinosaur was blessed with real big hoohas

it's idiotic of CNN to report this as like a scientific disagreement. this is a disagreement among scientists about what is politically feasible. so now status quo politicians get to use this as an arrow in their quiver to dispute the necessity of even aiming for a 1.5 degree target, as if the targets are beholden to the models, and not the other way around

damn, got me commenting with the porn account

i disagree with that, you can use a handheld drill to drive screws but that's not what it's for, it's for making holes in shit with drill bits. you can also buy little sanding discs for your handheld drill but nobody's calling it a drill sander
