On the other hand, having served in the military, I have a knee-jerk reaction to support whatever cause a group of veterans is protesting against.

I'm also of the mindset from my days as a youth that if you're protesting something, don't be surprised if you get your head cracked open by a nightstick. Nobody should be surprised that the other side isn't a hugbox when it comes to trying to get you to disburse.

I never said anything about minorities. gently caress everyone that shows up to a protest on land they aren't supposed to be on. I also have no problem protesting on land I'm not supposed to be on if it's a cause I support. I don't go into things like that and expect to be loving coddled. I expect them to do what they can to remove us and I don't cry about it being unfair when they do.

Let's talk about military medicine!

quote:

The idiot dr who locked me in a room with him a couple of months ago to see if I'm a drug addict (while I take zero addictive medications, and no "fun" ones either) put a referral in for me to see a cardiologist because it has been YEARS since I've seen one (because I don't need one) and he thought it would be nice for me to go in for a tune up because I was once referred there 16 years ago.

Anyway, his coding made the hospital think I've had a heart valve replaced (which I haven't, not even for pretend) and so in order for them to take the special coding off my record (they've added me to the EFMP program with a heart coding that I don't need, which restricts our base assignments) I now have a 24 hour heart monitor on, and have to go in again tomorrow for an echocardiogram.

Because a doctor incorrectly coded a form.... Apparently me telling them I've never had any kind of heart surgery isn't enough for them to fix the problem, but some doctor I've only seen once who wrote something down incorrectly is enough to make me have to go to no less than 5 appointments to fix the problem.

I similarly hate when people try to prove their point by saying some guy with a phd said x about global warming, or whatever. They never state what the degree is in, so it could be a mail order one or a phd in Women's Studies or something useful like http://www.instituteofmetaphysics.com/demonology.html

wife used to work for a bunch of orthopedic doctors.

I can use this information anecdotally because those guys were damned near idiots about things like finance, basic cyber security (they've all been phished before), and, y'know, sexual harassment policies in the workplace.

Damned good about hip bones though.

As it turns out, people who spend a shitload of time in school studying one thing are typically really good at that thing. And may well be complete idiots about everything else.

poo poo man, I wouldn't trust a dermatologist or psychiatrist to be able to interpret a 12-lead and that's still within the spectrum of "medicine*."

* "Medicine" is a loving massive spectrum.

I know what you meant but over here, reading and following instructions seems to be super difficult.

I guess they're really good about complaining when they try to get something they aren't allowed or trying to get things allowed long after the deadline's past.

The idiot in this story was me I guess.

The Marines were doing a big shrimp boil at the embassy and had invited a bunch of government employees from around the city. So everyone from military to random contractors were chowing down on these shrimp at these big tables out by the pool when I get a fantastic idea.

I begin to break off the barbs off these whole boiled shrimp and start piercing my arm with them, probably got a good 5-6 in there since I had come up with this plan pretty late into my shrimp eating. People noticed but they'd quickly look away so then I just kind of walked around the embassy grounds with a bunch of shrimp barbs sticking out of my arm and no one said anything. I was 25 when this went down and maybe like a beer deep.

Happy holidays
