Ironically, the last time I had need to draw down on somebody was on their parking lot.

I skipped 5 pages.

Just want to point out that negligent doctors, nurses, and hospital staff kill 250,000 Americans per year. That doesn't include patients who would have died regardless of care. That's just those who unnecessarily died from surgical negligence, prescribing errors, mistakes in translating doctors' orders into practice, inept X-ray readings, and infections picked up because hospitals are filthy places indifferently cleaned by minimum-wage workers who often speak no English and were raised in countries where cleanliness was not exactly a fetish.

People with guns kill about 30,000 Americans per year, and 20,000 of those are suicides. So 10,000 Americans are killed by other people with guns, while 250,000 Americans are wrongly killed by people working in the medical profession.

Maybe gun shops should bar all doctors and nurses from their premises. They're much more dangerous than people with guns. 25 times more dangerous.

Some crafty person should make that info into a poster that gunshops can print and hang, even if only as a informative joke.

You know how doctor's offices always have those 8x11 sheets stuck to walls everywhere in the rooms? I wonder how long that printed on a nice sheet of puce paper would last if you were to post one the next time the doctor keeps you waiting.

Nice! I forwarded that to the propaganda committee of project mayhem.

There's a reason why more and more people are prepping for surgery by writing what they're in for on various parts of their bodies with Sharpies. Costs nothing, and when the surgeon who's about to amputate your leg sees "here for colonoscopy only" written on both legs and both arms and various spots around the groin and abdomen and neck, he'll likely pause.

Don't think this doesn't happen. I remember when Andre "Thunder" Thornton, a first baseman for the Cleveland Indians, was in the hospital for knee surgery, and the surgeon operated on the wrong knee. So he had to go through another operation and had to recover and rehab on both knees.

I was in for knee surgery last year, and remembering this happening, I wrote "WRONG KNEE" my good knee to prevent this from happening. The nurse was not amused and scrubbed it off. But to his credit, the surgeon came back to me before the operation and HE initialed the correct knee.

The wrong knee operation happened to a guy here at work. It does happen.

You're lucky he only wrote the initials and didn't do this: https://www.newsweek.com/doctor-carv...surgery-747653

There's a whole panoply of sick bastards who do things like that, all of which have in common an inability to respect the integrity of other human beings.

Rapists, people who spit in food before handing it to customers, people who piss in the office coffee pot, that fertility doctor who used his own sperm to impregnate patients, anyone who uses date rape drugs, and all the other twisted fucks who get some sick pleasure from contaminating strangers or associates with their own precious bodily fluids or initials. There's video of some women in the back of a restaurant doing something unspeakable to a hotdog that's destined for somebody's plate.

It would be nice to understand how their minds work, but more efficient just to take them out back behind the courthouse and shoot them.

I'd be OK with shooting the graffiti "artists" as well. People need to respect boundaries or we all descend into anarchy. And not the fun kind of anarchy with cats and dogs living together, either. The awful kind where you have to listen to Rachel Maddow speak.
