So in the state of Arizona its perfectly reasonable to be a doctor and have no idea your patient is 9 months pregnant until they are giving birth;
Hacienda doctor can practice medicine again after AZ Medical board dismisses case
The AZ Medical Board narrowly voted 5-4 to dismiss Dr. Thanh Nguyen’s case Monday morning.www.azfamily.com
tl;dr some vegetable was raped non stop for god knows how long. Only way people found out was when she randomly gave birth one day. No one taking care of her asked questions why she stopped having her period 7-8 times in a row, no one questioned why her breasts started getting bigger and producing milk, no one questioned why her abdomen started getting bigger etc.
There is this:
"Nguyen told the board his patient was 125 pounds with a flat stomach, and there were no obvious signs of pregnancy. "
But then:
"The family attorney for the victim said they have no comment on the Monday ruling, but in their notice of claim sent to the state in June, they said Hacienda missed 83 opportunities to diagnose the pregnancy, and slam Dr. Nguyen for prescribing the victim weight loss and constipation medications."
Why in the fuck does a coma patient need weight loss meds? What in the world?

So Im over here jerking off on pornhub. Click on "solo female" category which automatically sorts by newest uploads. Whats the 5th newest uploaded video? A fucking crush video. A literal video of some woman crushing bugs, not implied or animated. I was curious to see if this was a random upload that didnt get caught by their content filtering and nope, upon clicking on it there where tons of similar video suggested.
By then my boner was gone and I closed my browser.

The VA Hospital system. all of it....
My Uncle, who served in Vietnam, has been struggling because for almost a decade the VA has known and diagnosed him with severely impacted circulation in his leg, but wouldn't get past all the procedure and process to give him the surgery to either stent or bypass the problem areas. My cousin goes to visit him and he's complaining that his leg hurts. Massive visible infection on his calf. The long term exposure to limited blood flow resulted in him getting gangrene. Took him to a REAL hospital and they had the stents in within 8 hours, got a real wound care Dr on it, and are not fighting like hell not to have to amputate his leg... FU VA... FU.

Its okay, a relative of mine who was in the Navy and has no medical related issues due to his service has gotten easy a million+ dollars worth of VA care. It honestly baffles me why they are treating him but for the past 10 years or so hes been getting medical care from them for a particular issue.

Y'all do realize that the -rest- of the developed world has healthcare as a right for all their citizens and it's tremendously cheaper per individual covered? Right?
It's also pretty sure that we'd figure out a way to fuck up single payer though and it is fucked up how our Veterans are sometimes treated. My WW2 era dad had no complaints anecdotally. /2cents

Lets see how Sweden and Denmark are doing in 15-20 years. Let all that unfettered third world migration digest itself and see how that works out for their oh so wonderful social services.

Sure. And the level of care is about equal to or slightly worse than what our veterans get through the VA. I'll stick with high quality care thanks. If you want cheap by every definition, go somewhere else in the developed world.

Look, another person falsely conflating VOLUNTARY SPENDING on one's own health care versus MANDATORY SPENDING on other peoples' healthcare.
How shocking that these arent the same number.
In our next post we can explore how housing costs are cheaper in HUD than the average cost of a new home on the private market. IF we have time we might even go into how SNAP benefits provide equal calories for less than the cost of eating at restaurants for every meal.

My VA doctor said I couldn't have strep throat because the rapid strep test came back negative 3 times in 2 months despite obvious symptoms. Then that I didn't have mono because the Epstein Barr test came back negative twice in 2 months despite obvious symptoms. Then that I musta just had naturally large tonsils, despite them obviously being infected and swelling. Then that I had probably just gotten the flu for the third time in a season, which seemed improbable.
Finally went to the actual ER and they recommended an 'emergency' tonsillectomy done within the day because my tonsils were swelling shut and the infection was so bad my entire lymph node anywhere they could check was swollen and pus was visibly dripping down the back of my throat. I had to quit my job because I couldn't keep up with it and still being enrolled in school, and finals were coming up, so had to wait several more weeks before I could have the surgery.
9 months of dizziness and fatigue and organs swelling. Only time in my life I've been suicidal. Helped derail several life plans. Had to quit my job and was barely able to maintain school (thankfully I had several professors who understood what I was going through and how good a student I was so gave me grades based on potential and past experience, because there are entire weeks I wouldn't even remember a week later). And they say the constant 100+ degree fever is probably what caused the memory issues I have to this day. And why my immune system 'seems compromised' still 10 years later.
All because some useless VA government doctor didn't know how or care to do anything but read a test and find the best way to get patients out of her office as soon as possible. I mean, she got paid the same whether I lived or died, so what did she care? Actually, there was great pressure for them to see as many patients as they could as wait times were getting public scrutiny.
Some cherries to the shit cake:
6 months after my tonsillectomy they were reviewing the case and everyone had 'missed' that a chest x-ray showed my heart was dangerously enlarged and I needed to come back in asap. Ooops. Your hear is dangerously enlarged, sorry we missed that. Thankfully it was only the that the infection was so bad it was swelling the lymph sac around the heart, so no biggie, right?
I requested to change doctors several times during the process, and never heard back. I filed a complain with the patient advocate and never heard back. Months after I was recovering I filed another complaint, and finally heard back, that they were sorry but the old person who was supposed to be handling all change requests AND the patient advocate were BOTH fired for negligence, as they were apparently both not doing their jobs and shredding documents so there wasn't even a record of my complaints. They were let go, but the VA couldn't speak to whether there was any other discipline involved, and I never heard anything about it in the news.
And mother fuckers like

gonna spout some generic talking point about how every other nation does government healthcare so well and "we" would probably just fuck it up, like it's an America problem and not a problem with unelected, unaccountable government bureaucracies that cut corners to save money and still go bankrupt as people are not getting basic level care.
There are issues with malpractice insurance in private medicine, but at least having that option/threat probably would have been nice to have on my side with the VA. Since getting a shit job because it has good health insurance, the worst issue with private doctors has been they admit when they don't know what to do, and that is often with me, and recommend additional testing or specialists. Which can get costly, but I at least get to choose the price I'm willing to pay and how much I'm willing to suffer, instead of the fucking government.
Just my 2 cents, that I stole from

I'd be ok if VA hospitals were somewhat serviceable, and sometimes I've had decent experiences there, but man when you get the unmotivated doctor it SUCKS (sounds like it almost killed you!).
I was acting as the families advocate for a guy at my job who retired, then 1 day later had yellow eyes / long story short pancriatic cancer, not operable. They unretired him for a while, but he bravely held on for 2 years, and then re-retired. As soon as he retired again, the VA hospital he was being seen at with a hospice nurse (read: you're on your way out, final caretaker etc) told him SORRY WE HAVE NO MORE ROOM FOR RETIRED PEOPLE. Wat. It took way too much work to fix that. But the VA was ready to just shift him to a different place 100 miles away. Blargh.
I guess as anywhere, you sometimes get someone who is awesome and loves their job, and other times, Bare-Minimum-Betty.

VA was great for my grandfather, but we used it for things like assisted living funding. Seems to break down when there are actual issues, major ones like surgery and the above.
My rustle is the phrase "breaks the internet" and those who believe their irrelevant to me thing actually generated so much traffic that for even a moment the entire fucking internet locked up.
