Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yeah. My mom had enormous issues with the insurance company when she opted for tubal litigation. My brother was 9 and I was 13, and she was sure she didn't want any more children at that point. But she was 30, and got the same bullshit from insurance. Fortunately, my mom's doctor fought with them on it, but it seemed a demeaning process.
tommyrot, the only thing I can come close to coming up with is that a lot of fake fur is synthetic and therefore petroleum products. I don't know. I'm grasping here.
You know, if I saw my doctor's name on that article, I'd be finding a new doctor.
she opted for tubal litigation.
You mean tubal ligation, right?
ahhhh ha ha! Funny brain fart!
No, but seriously, her tubes were suing her ovaries. It was a lengthy court battle and I can't believe no one told me about that.
You all would let me walk around with toilet paper on my shoe, wouldn't you?
Oddly, I don't have that much of an issue with the doctor. I would rather a doctor really lay it on the line what I could be facing, the consequences of what it is I want done, and bring up possible changes in my life. Now, I'd be pissed if, after I was informed of all of that and still wanted it done, he refused, but I can't fault a doctor for A) giving me all the information I need, even if I don't want it or B) having an internal struggle with it. I would far rather have a doctor that sometimes struggles with what the patient wants vs what might be a "better" decision, than one that just say, "You want it, fine - I'll do it."
I would imagine that doctors go through many internal struggles with their patients. Oncologists, for example who have patients that just don't want to fight their illness anymore.
Ah! That is pretty funny.
I clicked on one of the ads on my Gmail page, for unusual gift ideas. Not that I'm really buying this year, but I'm always curious...
What a crock! It took me to a directory page (that looks like the one you get when you mis-type an URL and they're reselling ad space. Outback Steakhouse is an unusual gift idea? Not in the good way. Weirdos. I guess they make enough money reselling that space to pay Google to advertise them. Soon, we will run out of product and just have ads.

OMG, my therapist JUST brought that article up not even an hour ago!
I really can't get over the patronizing tone. Really.
