Also I understand the concept of a house style, and if the Very Prestigious Publication wants to do it that way, you can do it that way.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced these authors have been published in other journals that don't edit the papers at all, so they think that's the way all medical publishing it. But we edit with no mercy. And that's probably shocking to see if you've had other journals publish your stuff without changing so much as a comma.

But the fact still remains that they are told that they WILL be edited. So it's not like this is a surprise. Or it shouldn't be.

Paging Theodosia , is it possible to use Uber as a customer if you don't have a smartphone to run the app on? (i.e., strictly using a laptop for the account?)

Paging Steph's medicinal brain. Apparently insurance is pushing back against the generic Adderall my doc prescribed. Is there another drug they would want me to try first (I've had that happen before) but I thought with this being the generic, it wouldn't be as big of an issue. So far I haven't gotten an answer from the pharmacy, insurance, or doctors office on where it stands.

Those situations are so frustrating, because you just know Person A has received the question, but Person A has to find Person B to get the answer, and Person B just went to lunch, and when B gets back s/he will need to touch base with Person C, who probably left early, and in any case there are three other questions ahead of it that need to consult with the rest of the alphabet.

Perzactly, Connie. Arrrgggggg.

Maybe Ritalin (or the generic)? Since Adderall is explicitly amphetamine, and Ritalin isn't? That's my best guess.

Although it's insane when insurance companies try to play doctor. Your doctor prescribed Adderall (and not any other drug) for a reason. They should respect that reason.

Hubby once threatened to sue them for practicing medicine without a license.

Heard over the cubicle wall, re: a discussion of death and funerals et al.:

"Heck, give my body to a bunch of necrophiliacs, I don't care."

Timelies all!
