WE'RE GETTING BACK TOGETHER!

I think any healthcare worker who exposes patients to influenza because they refused the vaccine should be jailed. Nutjob sneezes near a immune compromised individual and it's over, nutjob doesn't even know, they just know that palin would make a great president.

and it has haunted me to this day. i do not go outside for fear that someone will recognize me.

Ever see a black hat naked before Jimmy?

you are suffering from depression. when you stare at the computer screen aimlessly clicking through the interweb unable to focus on programming problems which should interest you, you're attempting to stimulate parts of your brain that have been permawired to get a little high every time you're dinking with the computer. it's not unlike beig a porn drug or alcohol addict or a rage-a-holic. Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to go drink some rageahol.

in the US, you can get an MRI often within a few hours. Getting it read may take a little longer, and more and more that stuff is off-shored.

well, here's the deal. yes it is inhumane. and yes it is uncivilized. but if you have a good job like i do you frankly don't think about it much. the premiums are subsidized by your employer and any time you get sick you call the doctor and they tell you to come in in an hour or two. if you have strange symptoms like your friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend with the maybe brain tumor they'll start ordering tests. lots of tests. simple tests can be performed the same day in these labs/clinics that dot our landscape now adays (labcorp,quest, etc). the only time you hear about a waiting list is if you need an organ transplant or a flu shot during a shortage. so the reality is your average joe isn't irate about it because he's got a good thing going. if you're indigent and you go to the doctor, you still get treated. the unfortunately side-effect is that since indigent folks don't have a doctor to go to, they go to the ER for everything. This has caused serious problems with ER wait times across the country. if you're uninsured and ... come down with a brain tumor or a heart attack or something, you will get fixed (to the extent that they can) but you'll leave the hospital with crushing debt (if i walk in to the hospital with my insurance and have a procedure done it might cost the insurer $600, same procedure w/o insurance would cost $6000, so if you walk in with no coverage at all, 6-figure debt is not unusual) this debt leads to a lawsuit which leads to bankruptcy typically. so i'm hardly a socialist and appreciate that there are some terrific attributes of the US health care, but I don't think it's right that it's tied to employment. Most Americans with good health coverage, I think, agree that the system is broken (and perhaps may have their own spin on how it is) but most Americans are concerned about the solution making the system worse than it is; if it is accessible to you it is really the best in the world.

you are discounting the patient's role in healing. the best surgeons in the world are available to you or me, as they are available to jobs, however they may be more accessible to jobs. but rest assured they followed the same procedure accepted by the medical community that you would for you or me. all the money in the world isn't going to buy you a faster recovery. it takes as long as it takes, which varies by individual.
so what does wealth buy in this case? well, two things which are of concern if they are true --
* - did he move up the list faster than he should have? sure, he gamed the system by getting on the list in tennessee, but this is just part of being well informed/advised.
* - was his old liver destroyed due to metastatic cancer? as a slashdot physician (the best kind) on this topic stated, transplants are contraindicated in that case which implies that rules were broken because he's a superhero. if this is true it's kind of disgusting.
so there may be other reasons everyone has been so tight lipped about Steve's health than Steve just being Steve.

3) ???
4) PROFIT!

that termite should have invested in ColonCleanse(tm) to dissolve the 20-30 pounds of waste that is believed to bind to our intestine walls like spackle or paste.

"tina's here we're getting back together!" "hey, give us a moment!"

POLISE.CX
and then post it to slashdot under false pretenses
???
PROFIT! i didn't mean to yell. sorry.

but this reminds me of all the women i could have potentially slept with but turned them down because the one had too big of a butt, another one i valued her friendship too much, another one i was worried she had VD, another one i was already seeing someone else, etc. so now i'm old, alone and abstinent. All of my life is a regret. Please, please don't be me. If you personally stand to make 7 figures off this transaction I would do it and hope you like megalomart. if you don't then you can quit and start another company and relive the dream. or not. If they're buying you cheap then it might not be worth it. you need to contact their competitor and get a competing bid. if that's not feasible, turn them down and become a commercial success and they'll still be interested in buying you.

i just wonder if they're as desperate as the couchdb bozos: http://www.slideshare.net/mattetti/couchdb-perform-like-a-pr0n-star

i would, but i'm dumb. and lazy.
