Does anyone remember this show. I saw it in the states when I was about 9. This was easily 40 years ago. It helped start my love of British humor. I canβt find it anywhere. It was hilarious.
Sometimes on TV shows I've heard references to doctors making house calls. I'm 44 and have never seen this in real life, was this ever actually a thing? Did you ever have a doctor come to your house to treat you? If this was a real thing, when did the practice stop?
In the film, Yueh assassinates the duke, jams their communications, and disables the entire shield system. How is this possible?
I posted this on a junior doctor forum but it was noted to perhaps be more appropriate here. I will add that my current junior doctor pay is just over 30k. So:
My family has always lived on rent and we've really struggled with bills (had to take a gap year before med school).
I was never close to my grandparents (e.g. never allowed in their house, though we didn't dislike each other...it's complicated) but I've just received Β£20k inheritance from my nan following her passing.
I wanted to use this money to get a mortgage. Trouble is, I think I'm leaving this city now after my current training position (in August). Am I allowed to change this from residential mortgage to BTL? Or can I keep lodgers, in the other rooms if I keep one room empty for myself?
Is it best for me to just sell this place? Not very cost effective for me right now!
More than happy to take questions/suggestions about anything as I am generally quite a naive person and have very little knowledge about finance/houses in general.
Iβve only seen like CSI people do it, but not doctors?
Specifically I'm seeking an exit counselor or deprogramming specialist. I'm not looking for services, I have questions regarding a lay person's ethical and legal ability to assist victims of q anon. Is there a specialized training system or is a full formal mental health education required to work with the public in this area?
In her words, they're "on a fixed income." Excuse me, what? Yes, they are retired and no longer making money. They also made hundreds of thousands dollars a year as doctors in a hospital and live in a mansion (my parents live in a 2 bedroom). She wants me to "Paypal them" money because that's just what's done in "our" culture (I grew up in America with an American dad... my claim to her culture is very limited and superficial, despite attempts in my life to learn more about it earlier in my life. Lately I'm uninterested... I wonder why?) She got angry and hung up the phone when I said I'd bring something to the party they're hosting, but I'm not going to randomly ask them if I could send them money because I think they're poor and need it. Mind you, she's not sending them money. Only I need to, apparently.
My mother is so obsessed with how she comes across as unsuccessful to her family, and she has some unresolved conflict with my aunt. I think she secretly wants me to insult my aunt and uncle by pretending I'm above them and have so much more money than them. ???
Seems to me they just want to second guess my doctors and change or drop my medications. Stupid thing to do in Open Enrollment, I'm now going to consider switching plans. Am I overreacting? I just saw my PCP yesterday and I'm seeing my cardiologist later this month, so it's not like I'm not receiving care. I'm not a shut-in who needs an annual visit.
A recent editorial in the sctimes really bothered me - not necessarily for taking the position s/he did, merely because it treats policy and science / scientists as if they are the same things - which is not only intellectually insulting, but dangerous. As in the following passage:
"They promulgate this ultimatum like they are health care experts.Β Their political ideology seems more important to them than the safety of many. Mayo has transplant patients, cancer patients, immunocompromised patients, the most medically vulnerable people in the world. The employee vaccine requirement represents the best available science.Β Yet, we have a group of ill advised, ignorant, uninformed politicians saying that they know better how to protect hospital patients! Β It is unconscionable for these politicians to attempt to coerce Mayo to put unvaccinated health care workers into the health care setting."
As any 1L should know, there's a difference between descriptive and prescriptive - science describes, it doesn't prescribe - when scientists / medical professionals start making policy they are becoming politicians, which is an entirely different thing than being a doctor. Doctors are myopic, many would put people in camps for having too high a bmi rate, ban alcohol and smoking, etc. Why one would only listen to such people for making any policy is beyond me, especially considering much of what was done under the rubric of science in prior decades (forced gay conversion therapy as medical practice in psychiatry, let alone homosexuality being evidence of mental illness in prior DSM revisions, etc) IE, when you start rely on doctors to make policy you really are turning doctors into politicians, that's all. it's good rhetoric but nothing more.
I have a hard time understanding how anyone - regardless of political persuasion - doesn't understand these basic distinctions, between what "is" and "what ought to be." They aren't the same.
I think this might be a good example of how curb started to introduce some more surreal humor in a subtle way that wasn't too blatant. In the newer episodes they've continued to add more surrealism with the judge judy thing and the doppleganger episode. The waiting room in the doctor's house, the scale and white and blue sheets were honestly hilarious details that were just a bit more odd than most things at that point in the series.
