Fine. It’s not even a concession to say that people are a mix of nature and nurture. But people assume that saying there exists such bell curve for intelligence is the same thing as saying that people’s worth is on a bell curve, and no one is suggesting that (or at least I’m not).

It’s ok to say that there exists natural differences between people.

This is stupid. Noting that there is a bell curve of some innate talent we label intelligence is like noting there’s a bell curve on a person’s height.

Not to be pedantic, but an impressive pharmaceutical industry is not the same as leading cancer research. Still impressive. Not the same. Again, I get your point, but no need to exaggerate realities.

While I get the point you’re trying to make, it’s just incredibly wrong about cuba. Carry on for the rest.

Fucking tankies in this thread.

You can feel about it however you’d like, but the term provider was purposely used to justify different care without patients being aware.

It’s not a matter of a 30 year PA vs a resident, experience certainly matters. But I take issue when you claim medical knowledge because you’re a “provider”, and especially because you work in a pediatric hospital. The role of a pediatric endocrinologist and an ortho PA almost don’t overlap, and the background schooling almost don’t either.

That’s not to say I’m particularly qualified either (it’s outside my specialty) but you infer that you’re qualified to comment when you and I both know, frankly, you’re not.

The AMA literally says the opposite:

The only people pushing “provider” are administrators who would prefer to muddy the waters with regards to who providers care, and the midlevels who benefit.

This is only true of GnRH related medications. Use of hormones as well as more effects. Just to be clear.

refers to self as provider

Definitely not a doctor.

Arterial, tiny bubbles cause strokes. Venous, giant bubbles cause air emboli.

Sometimes there’s connections that shouldn’t be there that can cause venous bubbles to cross over and be a problem.

It’s an interesting article, but it’s not an exhaustive look at the situation. Look buddy- the article is from the point of an American, and proscribes American actions that should be taken. While that is interesting, it doesn’t touch nearly at all on what the current parties should do (vis a vis Hamas and Israel) and it doesn’t apply ANY scrutiny to Hamas or suggest any actions they should take.

It’s not that it’s not an insightful piece, but it’s POV is limited, and can’t be applied generally.

I’m not justifying either- I’m just saying that Hamas is the responsible party

Fundamentally it comes down to who is more at fault for the death of a human shield, the one who is using the human shield or the one who is attacking.

Clearly Hamas is more at fault. If you want peace tell Hamas to surrender and return the hostages.

It’s naive to say that kindness is going to stop violence from a group who in their founding charter call for the death of the opposing group. Hanas isn’t a good faith group and no amount of kindness will change that.

Any solution that will be durable requires that Hanna’s is not a part of it.

This is not a one sided situation. Hamas is diverting fuel from hospitals to store for their war needs. If Hamas didn’t take civilian fuel the hospitals wouldn’t be out of it. This makes them at least partially responsible, no?

Just to note- Hamas was elected to govern in 2007. They are the elected governing body of Gaza. This is to say there are two governments at war.

I would also ask, as to responsibility: if Hamas fires a rocket from behind a human shield, and the innocent is killed as a result of return fire- wouldn’t Hamas be responsible for the war crime? Aren’t they responsible for the innocent life due to their purposeful choice to involve the innocent from the beginning?

Hamas has Jewish eradication as part of its founding charter. I’m not sure this qualifies a one sided fight.

Your body has the miraculous ability to identify ANYTHING that isn’t itself: viruses, fungi, bacteria, even lots of nearly-self things like cancer.

It’s likely not a solvable problem.

I’m just saying. Hamas is a terrorist organization known for lying. They have a clear reason to do so here, and the evidence suggests they are in fact lying. This isn’t to justify a war, it’s to say that they are misleading here.

Hamas put their headquarters in the hospital
