A serious question for you: from what you have written it appears that you have set a threshold for chance of injury for your child to be 1:10,000. If this is the case, then do you allow your children to be in cars? What about other risky behavior where the chance of injury is high (contact sports for example)? With respect to Guillain-Barre, this can also be caused by food poisoning from campylobacter jejuni. C. jejuni poisoning most commonly occurs with chicken (which carry the bug). Do you forbid your children from eating chicken?
It would seem that to be logically consistent you would need to curtail these activities. However, in the talk about risk to children from vaccination, there are other much more prevalent (and immediately deadly) risks to which parents seem to have no problem exposing their children. As someone who apparently has made the choice about acceptable risk for your children, how do you logically reconcile foregoing one (extremely debatable) "risk" versus allowing many other well documented and serious challenges to your children's life and limb?
Again, I am not attacking your beliefs (although I do not agree with them). I am wondering at the thought process behind your beliefs in the context of other risks that you willingly put your children through.
Hmmm...in the small town I am in, sensitive information is transmitted via a protocol known as the GrapeVine (no relation to the Banyan VINES). You think that binary exponential backoff is pretty cool? Check this out: GrapeVine appears to defy Einstein's theories as people are able to know if something happens BEFORE it occurs!

Another issue is that residency training (which is basically where doctors learn to take care of people) is funded for the most part via Medicaire. Without that money (which is substantial) hospitals cannot afford to train doctors. So even if there were sufficient medical students in the system, under current licensing laws (which require at least 1 year of post-graduate residency training) the bottleneck would be on residency positions and funding.
This is a common misconception but is not true. Which imaging modality to use depends on the clinical scenario. MRIs have the downside of taking a long time, requiring the patient to be relatively still during this time, and being in an enclosed space (which some patients refuse to go into - hence the development of "open" MRI patients). And yes, they are expensive. CTs in contrast (pardon the pun) are quick, much cheaper, and do an excellent job of visualizing things like blood which is important in stroke management, trauma, etc...In the acute setting, your patient might die in the MRI machine while a CT scan would give you all the information you need in a much timelier fashion.
FTW! Bravo, sir. Bravo.
I went back to school after a 10 year hiatus and the school (medical school) had a similar deal with free electronic versions of many textbooks. Unlike your experience though, mine was pretty positive. Yeah - the software could be slow sometimes, but it was quicker (and more thorough) than going to the bookshelf, looking up what I was interested in in the index, and then going through the references one by one. I could also copy and paste from the electronic book to my notes (although yes, it would add an attribution to the pasted material, which actually was helpful in many cases when I reviewed the material and wanted more context from the book).
At any rate, going from my pure dead-tree undergrad to my pretty much all-electronic med school -- there is no way I would go back to all physical books. The searching capability by itself is worth it. Additionally I had much more convenience with studying as carrying around 14 or so medical school textbooks is pretty much impossible if they are physical books. This meant I could actually leave the library/home and work with other students easier. And don't get me started on how awesome google desktop + openoffice is for note-taking. I doubt I could have managed the amount of information that I did without my electronic resources.
At any rate, just my $0.02.
So true. I remember when I was younger wishing that I could remember everything and never forget anything. An older me is now very thankful for the capability to forget. In all seriousness, forgetting is not a bug, it's a feature.
As your post contained that same data, you my find your was to the same database. Just to ensure national security I'm sure someone at DHS is recording every IP that viewed the dangerous information and is preparing a round of illegal wiretaps. Hey look a black helicopter, what's with this strange red dot?
You had the whole set up but missed the punchline:
