  • Oh, this drug company is absolutely not like that at all. They are super ethical and invest every dollar of their profits into research. The dinner was to present a new treatment which has become super standard for the clinic, which involved one of our doctors presenting, I promise it was not like that at all. They are truly generous to us. There are not many treatments for this disease and this is one of the best. It was purely educational.


  • I worked with a doctor whose in-laws were Saudi royalty. He didn’t need to work at all he was so wealthy.

    I heard about him doing an incredibly greedy thing that blew my mind one day; he showed up at a dinner that a drug company was hosting for another adjacent program he had nothing to do with and did not practice in at all. He didn’t even tell them he was coming, they had to find him a seat, and then he sat down, ordered not one but TWO whole lobsters, and when they came he asked for them to be wrapped to go, and he left. Even acknowledging drug companies have large budgets for these kinds of things, to come to an event that has nothing to do with you and do that is insanely rude when you don’t want for a thing in the world.

    I know someone else who is very wealthy, and he’s pretty generous and passionate about creating things, he’s far from perfect, but truly wants to make good things and runs a business that gives him zero profit, so the contrast was pretty stark. The doctor also stiffed his professional college for a very large membership bill.


  • Servants is the better word for it. This is the English version of the carol, and it’s probably meant to refer to a royal couple, and this would be their servants. The Swiss and French version of the carol mostly talk about animals and food instead, with one exception in the Swiss version mentioning 12 churches with 12 altars with 12 priests.











  • My nurse friend had some dude in the ER a few months ago who stuck his wedding ring on his penis and couldn’t get it off for what are obvious reasons to anybody but this guy. When this kind of thing happens the fire department has to come cut it off, so not only do you get a firefighter touching your junk and seeing the dumb thing you did, but also now your dick is a useless noodle, and you may spend the rest of your life reflecting on how easy the Internet makes acquiring safe items for such activities, and yet you chose a tiny gold band.
