So dad just got told to wait 1 mo. to talk to his spine doc in person, to see if they can do an MRI that will take another month to schedule, and another month after to review. He also got told for a spine MRI to ask neurology about it. Lawsuits might be coming @MGHMedicine
For 4 months everyday he has had twitches, 1st Primary told him to calm down and it was in his head. Urgent Care said "What are you doing here?" 14 day twitching in same spot no big deal. Primary finally gets worried at 2 mo. Spine doc only checks neck, says talk to neurology.
that my dad's primary set up, only after 3 mo of twitching. He has been demeaned this whole time. They want you to go over everything from the start of the problems and all info and cover it in 15 min? How? When we tried to call help services they told us the main can't help.
So they give us the "number" for North Shore MGH. The problem was that number was really for Salem Hospital, they don't even know their own numbers for patients to call. @MGHMedicine has already been sued a lot lately for stuff like this and has lost millions for it.

OMG she is going for the hard ones. I LOVE IT. For the fire question, fire is plasma, one of the states of matter, which is very hot and magnetic gas. All stars are made of plasma. When you get enough gas together, the pressure of it causes a lot of heat, and it becomes plasma.
Otherwise than that, fire doesn't really form in space. On a space station however, you can make a fire in normal ways, but the fire looks like a bubble. Since there isn't gravity acting upon it like we have on the Earth surface, the fire is attracted to itself and forms a sphere
This goes into the second question of how planets are formed. When you have a bunch of material like rocks and dust near each other, each of their gravities affect the things around it. A planet usually starts with a larger rocky object surrounded by smaller rocky objects and...

Wasn't for sure if I should say something but have to.

Lives might depend on it.

I saw tons of people going after @elonmusk for the ventilators that Tesla bought. They said he got CPAP's and they wouldn't help. Many problems with this, & those tweets might kill someone.

First is terminology, CPAPs are a type of ventilator. Any machine that aides in breathing is a ventilator.

The ResMed devices Elon bought were not CPAP but what are called BiPAP. These are better than a normal CPAP, they have an exhaust pressure to them like the higher...
...end ventilators. The big difference is the high end ventilators are used for intubation, the BiPAP like a CPAP uses a face mask. These have been approved for use in COVID-19 from the FDA, and CDC.

Now they do have an issue because of those masks.
