WTF is wrong with white men in their early twenties?

My 20 something sons say the same thing!

We use lots of real patient charts and so forth in training materials, but either change or pixelate the recognizable stuff for HIPAA and politeness reasons. More often the patient info changed or hidden by us, or the practices, is out of concern for identity theft. It is a huge issue for the practices.

So if the butt had a tattoo or scar, we seriously would need a signed permission form from the patient before we could use the photo.

Maybe that is why she was using butts- less identifiable?

It seems funny to me that they can't use the photo in class, but it seems like they could troop the whole class into the office to look at the patient live. At least that is my experience as a patient.

If they still made Chevy Cobalts I'd recommend one for a crash-prone driver. They ride low, have deceptively heavy frames (3100+ lbs.), and mine got me through spinning off an icy highway into a ditch and fence at 45 mph without a bruise.

They also stay in good operating order for a long time; mine recently did 35.5 mpg on an hour-long drive, which is better than it was getting when it was new ten years ago.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

When I was buying my first brand-new car in 2009, the Fit was #3 on my list, behind Mazda and Hyundai hatchbacks. I bought the Hyundai, and I now kinda wish I'd given the other two another look. The Hyundai has lots of room, but it isn't as quick as I'd like, even given that it's a 4-cylinder, and it's pretty unhappy going more than 70 mph too. I think I'd have been happier with the Mazda.

The news from Charleston made me sad and sick.

I've almost entirely stopped watching the news. I was watching the 24/7 news cycle and it was making me depressed and angry. Had to go cold turkey. Now I get breaking news from Twitter and commentary from Jon Stewart, and that's it. I don't even watch Rachel Maddow anymore, though I'll probably start again once the 2016 election really gets going.

Yeah, Hyundai has made huge strides in improving their cars, but they're still not as refined as the competition. They tend to be noisier and have cheaper interiors.

The Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 are both among the best cars of their classes.

I've almost entirely stopped watching the news.

I don't watch TV news anymore.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Regarding HIPAA, there seems to be some controversy here about whether professors can use pictures of patients in their powerpoints to students. WHich seems a little nutty, and probably a case of nurses taking rule following too far.

Like JAMA, they want patient consent on any identifying-features pictures. In app, if you take a picture there is a way to get patients to give consent by signing.

Also, I like my Hyundai. It drives fine at over 80 mph (I know, I know) but it's also stick. And it's significantly less expensive than Mazdas or Toyotas or Hondas.
