So I just called to set up an appt for this afternoon with my doctor at my local rural clinic (fees are income based), as I am almost out of my meds and refills. Mind you I need this medicine to live, without it I will slowly dehydrate and die. Get the appt all set up and the...
Young lady in charge of setting up appts informs me that I would have to pay some on my outstanding bill before I can be seen. I inform her that I have no cash to pay right now and was hoping to pay some when I get my taxes back. She then informs me that I must pay something...
Or I won't be seen. So now I feel like they might as well have a gun to my head and for what? I still don't have any money to give them. If I don't get my medicine from the clinic and get from the ER instead I won't be able to get the script filled because I get a big discount...
On my script at the local pharmacy, but only if the script is from the clinic. (It has something to do with a program that the clinic and pharmacy use.) I'm going to offer them a nickle, because I literally have no other money to give them. I don't even have money to give to...
The person who is giving me a ride there. I have just enough money to buy my meds once I get a script for it. So tired of having to battle this just to stay alive.

OFFICER DOWN! We are hearing these words over the scanners way too much, way too often, and at an alarming increase. With all these True Blues getting shot, many killed!
We need the People to bring awareness.
By this, we do not mean simply posting to your own pages or like pages to like-minded people -they already know. What we mean is that the People need to start picking up the phones and actually dialing phone numbers - to every single local and state politician in their area.
DEMAND THEY LISTEN, just like all the demands put on the Police, we need people making demands for Police. They need you to do this in a forceful yet respectful and in an adult manner. Police need everyone to let others know you called local and state politicians;

Let’s do some #tweetnotes on #Doctor Who: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos.

MUTE FOR SPOILERS

In short: As disappointing an episode as has been made for the post-2005 show.
DW-TBORAK: Let’s start with Graham. His story this week is to announce his intention to kill the villain in revenge for his wife. The Doctor and Ryan disapprove. Then the moment he decides not to.

Those are the beats. Those are *all* the beats. #tweetnotes
DW-TBORAK: What’s the most interesting way to show he’s planing a murder?

There’s tension in watching him plan in secret, maybe. Lies and actions for his own agenda.

Or the Doctor could be shown to be smart - stopping Graham and saying “I know what you’re thinking.” #tweetnotes

Did you read my thread about Clinton and the den of corruption that was Hot Springs, AR?

This adds to that story.

So it occurred to me that the show Ozarks is a narrative loosely based and built off of the truth if that area of the country and the people that went there...
Mobsters galore, crime syndicates, and Bill Clinton is readded (*raised) in the middle of it all in a town called Hope?

The show Ozarks depicts an accountant for a St Louis union mob boss, somewhat similar to the Irish mobster Owney Madden who went to Hot Springs.
The accountant sets up River boat gambling. Hot Springs was infamous for it's gambling dens and houses of ill repute. In the show they set up the river boat on land owned by a long-time local growing poppies of all things.

Medicine vs. The Machine (thread)

For doctors, nurses, and other healers these are distressing times. The epidemic of depression, suicide, anxiety and burnout that consumes our profession is at least less hidden than ever before. I don't know anyone who is spared.
Let me share a mental model that has provided comfort to me. Perhaps it might resonate with you too. You see, I believe that we exist in two worlds: the world of Medicine, and the world of The Machine.
Medicine is why we are here, why we have worked, sweated, and suffered. Medicine is the calling, and it is an ancient good. There are good days and bad days in Medicine. The days when you save a life, comfort the suffering, support a colleague, make a deductive leap...

1/ THREAD: some context on Strzok meetings in London on Aug 2, 2016.
on July 29, Strzok asked Lisa if she had discussed "new case" with McCabe.
2/ on Sat Jul 30, ignorant Lisa Page summarizes Russian literature, music and art (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Tschaikovsky, Shostakovich,,,,) as "couple of good writers and artists". Strzok wonders if his mistress can arrange to go to London with him.
3/ on Sun July 31, Strzok sent notorious email that "damn, this feels momentous. Because this matters". He's then headed towards London meetings, almost certainly about supposed Trump collusion.
