The thing about doctors is that there are plenty of idiots among them. I think it's easy to fall into the habit of assuming that just because someone is a doctor, they know what they're talking about. It's really no different than any other field; you'll get electricians that suck, plumbers that can't repair shit (lolpun), and teachers who suck at teaching, for example. Studying and working in a field is never a guarantee of actual knowledge, ability, or competence, sadly. Doctors are no exception.
The problem is that with all your other examples, even though I'm not any of those professions, it's not that hard to spot a fuckup in those categories. Doctors, lawyers, take years of studying and training. It's really hard for me to tell if they're full of shit because it's literally Greek to me. Or Latin.

Glad you're getting better, Borzak. Kinda scary to have lesions of any kind on your brain. Didn't know something like that was recoverable.

The nurologist I saw yesterday called and talked to my mom today (her number was on the paperwork for whatever reason and I had to move in with them for a while when it was the worst. Anyway he talked to her for a few minutes.

He called me at home tonight. I was shocked. He said he called the Dr. who gave me the MS diagnosis today and basically said he reminded him of some obvious things you should look at and discount first. He said the dizziness, trouble seeing in one eye, headaches, AND shingles should have said brain swelling first thing and eliminate that and then look at possibly whatever. I really would have liked to hear that conversation. The first Dr. originally scheduled a spinal tap at 6am but never showed. The Dr. I saw yesterday said if he had done a spinal tap with what he had available then I would have a legitimate "complaint", I didn't really ask what that would entail.

Just shocked he followed up.

A month ago I knew NOTHING about MS. After having researched it for a month I made a donation to the National MS Society today, terrible stuff.

That's a good point and true to an extent, but I would argue that there are plenty of professions where it's just as difficult to spot a fuckup. For example, if I have an electrician come over to rewire my house, how the hell do I know if he does a good job or not? Obviously, if something doesn't work it is clear, but for all I know he put a huge fire hazard in my walls that I won't know about until my house burns down randomly one night. The average joe knows fuck all about electricity, plumbing, carpentry, etc. and simply takes the "professional" on his or her word.

I'm glad someone broke the chain. I was feeling like a dick coming to complain about little things in my life and seeing someone get a (false) death sentence from a doc.

Grats on that being wrong btw.

Pennsylvania highways. Crossing the Maryland/Pennsylvania border on a highway is like going from The Capital to District 12.

I can do both.

I really don't mind slow people on 2 lanes road (I travel a lot in rural areas) it's the fucker who slows down to drive behind the first slow person and never pass that rustle my jimmies. Fucking pass so I don't have to pass 2 cars at once on a curvy ass 2 lane road.

I often feel like reality is a puffed up Gordian Knot, and it's my job to untangle it before I die and am doomed to be recycled back into the same reality. This is why I don't smoke weed.

A) You've read too much Gunslinger. B) Wasn't the Gordian Knot solved by severing it with a sword? Not sure what that means for planning your life but good luck!

Ha, good show.

So apparently I pay to train with a Black Belt that isn't even my instructor just so he can tell me, "I'm a fucking retarded training partner"--because I suck at Judo posture, in a Jiu-Jitsu class.

I feel badly for the two blue belts that I smoked as a result of that interaction turning over in my head to rage, mid-sparring. (edit: eh not really, they're fine)

Good thing though, I was going to ask that very guy about private lessons a few weeks from now, not taking classes with that asshole again.

Sorry to hear but sounds like its for the best, sometimes a bitch just has to go.



What really rustles my jimmies, doing business with a friend you have know for over 20 years and having them try to skip out on the bill (over $800) and obviously try to dodge your calls. Its been over 5 months now !
