Wow! He should get a medal!

That is...not very many vaccinations for a whole state! Yikes! I guess if it's targeted that may be an appropriate number but wow!

No, I feel like it should be more vaccinations, because 3,500 is definitely not a lot for a whole state. And that's why there's a big problem with Hep A, I guess.

Vaccine Johnny Appleseed is a superhero!

He said "I just LOVE stabbing people with needles!" (I asked "...is that what you said to get hired? What is wrong with your county's public health department???")

ION, I just started editing an article about female surgeons who are mothers, and how their domestic responsibilities affect their career. I'm only in the abstract, and I got to a sentence about how the authors divided the group into those who have sole responsibility for less than 5 domestic tasks, and those who have sole responsibility for 5 or more domestic tasks.

That's the point at which I realized the article is probably going to have a list of "domestic tasks" and I'm going to see just how many of them (other than childcare, of course) I *don't* do. I'm cringing already.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

female surgeons who are mothers, and how their domestic responsibilities affect their career

SPOILER ALERT THE ANSWER IS "WAY MORE THAN SURGEONS WHO ARE FATHERS"

(Not that I've read this particular study, but isn't that always the answer?)

Yeah, I've always thought the most unrealistic part of Greys Anatomy lately is not all the sexxxing and the extreme storms and bombs and miracle surgeries, it's how little having 3 kids and being a true single parent seems to affect Merediths availability to be a surgeon and go on dates and work whenever needed...

Of course all working mothers' domestic responsibilities affect their careers, but surgeons are a bit more able to afford paid help to assist with these responsibilities. And for sure What Jessica Said!

So far, this is accurate. Did you write this article???

(The abstract also concludes "...increasing numbers of mothers in the medical workforce may create a demand for more equitable distribution and/or outsourcing of domestic tasks." Uh, NO SHIT.)
