In the “Jeez, people are stupid” category, I was reminded yet again today how many folks just make you shake your head in amazement. I had a minor surgical procedure done earlier today. No big deal, but I’ve had a bad reaction (agonizing pain) in the past when it was done in the doctor’s office, [...]

Virginia Republicans require women seeking abortions to be raped first
Posted in culture, health, politics on February 15, 2012 | Comments Off
This is a transvaginal ultrasonic probe. Normally, it is a valuable diagnostic device that promotes women’s health. It is used by putting it into a woman’s vagina. The Virginia legislature now requires its use on women seeking abortions, whether or not she or her doctor agree, and for no medical reason. The only motivation for this bill is to obtain [...]

By all accounts, in the upcoming State of the Union speech Bush will be proposing an increase in Health Savings Accounts as his “solution” for the health care crisis, under the rubric of “consumer-driven health care.” As you might expect, it’s just another Republican scam to shift more costs and risks to consumers and reward [...]

For those who’ve been following the occasional health-related whining lately, here’s the verdict. Am I okay? Physically, yeah.
