This Is What You Call A Bad HMO I Guess

Nowadays with the medical profession literally taken over by foreigners and anyone with regular contact with doctors offices, hospitals and nursing homes can attest, it's no wonder some doctors and nurses have a little communication problem from time to time amongst themselves and their patients.

Here's a pretty severe one I would say....unless it was just the "remove part remove all clause in the Blue Cross Rust Coated Shield Economy plan I guess

ABC News: Man Sues Over Genital Amputation:

"LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A Kentucky man who claims his penis was removed without his consent during what was supposed to be a circumcision has sued the doctor who performed the surgery.

A Kentucky may is suing a doctor who he says was only supposed to give him a circumcision, but instead removed his penis.

Phillip Seaton, 61, and his wife are seeking unspecified compensation from Dr. John M. Patterson and the medical practice that performed the circumcision for 'loss of service, love and affection.' The Seatons also are seeking unspecified punitive damages from Patterson and the medical practice, Commonwealth Urology.

A woman who answered the phone at Commonwealth Urology would not take a message for the doctor Thursday. But the Seaton's attorney said the doctor's post-surgical notes show the doctor thought he detected cancer and removed the penis. Attorney Kevin"George said a later test did detect cancer.

Oh and that mean what exactly,? Like he was gonna lose it anyway I guess is the assumption there? Againt the culture of no personal responsibility takes over ...

Who'da Ever Thought Mick Jagger Would Be Left Standing?

Today on his 65th birthday he's old enough now to collect Social Security and one has to admit he's still going strong and is truly a rock god if there is such a thing. It's a shame other greats like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Elvis, Buddy Holly, John Lennon, Ritchie Valens, Jim Croce, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many others weren't able to navigate the too often deadly world of Rock and Roll like the Rolling Stones have minus Brian Jones of coarse.

Mick Jagger, the Rolling Stone that gathers no moss? lol

Not fade away: Rolling Stones singer Jagger turns 65:

Breitbart: "Mick Jagger, the snake-hipped, rubber-lipped frontman of the Rolling Stones, celebrates his 65th birthday Saturday but shows no signs of slowing down, despite officially becoming an old age pensioner.

At an age when most British men are retiring from work and claiming state pensions, Jagger is dating a woman some 25 years his junior -- stylist L'Wren Scott -- counting his millions after the Stones' record-grossing 'Bigger Bang' tour and branching out into film production.

His behaviour may not be as hellraising as that of fellow Stone Ronnie Wood, who last week entered rehab to receive treatment for alcohol abuse after running off with a 19-year-old Russian cocktail waitress.

But Jagger has always been a curious mix of sensible and shocking -- he must be the only cricket-loving knight of the realm whose rumoured antics with a Mars Bar have entered rock legend.

Michael Phillip Jagger was born on July 26, 1943 into a middle-class family in Dartford, south of London, and studied at the prestigious London School of Economics before dropping out to chase success with the Stones.

By the time of the band's first international hit, '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' in 1965, Jagger and his band were a byword for youthful rebellion -- snarling and surly, the complete opposite of the family-friendly" continued

How Pathetic Is This ?

Quite. If one were to ask me, the local police ought to stake out any stores selling this contraption and arresting anyone leaving with it, or a least following them around for a spell to see what other likely dangerous behavior anyone needing a robotic love toy might be involved in.

Of coarse I'm kidding to a degree. But in all seriousness, anyone that can derive psychological pleasure from kissing a little 15 inch robot, (as is pictured here and described in the posted article about a goofy gadget being manufactured in Japan), needs some serious mental health attention and fast.

We all know physical pleasure can be and frequently is achieved with the aid of mechanical devices, mostly by women, but this little thing designed for lonely men is truly sad and incredibly pathetic beyond belief.

Just looking at the enthusiastic way in which the article's author and toy's designer describes this little toy gives me the willies, it makes me think they might be either wanting and needing one themselves and soon, or is being paid to write the article in such a sad way!!

And here I thought the blow up doll thing circa Bud Bundy of Married With Children was pretty sick when used in real life by whoever might need such a device, just wait 'til the robotic versions start popping up around the world, truly sad and scary where technology is being applied.

Japan's robot for lonely men

NZ Herald: Gadgets and electronics news: "TOKYO - She is big-busted, petite, very friendly, and she runs on batteries.

A Japanese firm has produced a 38 cm (15 inch) tall robotic girlfriend that kisses on command, to go on sale in September for around US$175, with a target market of lonely adult men.

Using her infrared sensors and battery power, the diminutive damsel named 'EMA' puckers up for nearby human heads, entering what designers call its 'love mode'.

'Strong, tough and battle-ready are some of the words often associated with robots, but we wanted to break that stereotype and provide a robot that's sweet and interactive,' said Minako Sakanoue, a spokeswoman for the maker, Sega Toys." continued

A New Contender For Chinese Olympic Sprint Team?

This Chinese grade school teacher featured below really showed exemplary bravery when the massive earthquake struck the other week, and his heartwrenching story story is told int he posted article. Here's a hint for you, he's not much different from all the "Alpha males" featured in the "office loon goes wild" video posted a fewposts down the blog if you missed that office full of wussies:

China earthquake: Teacher admits leaving pupils behind as he fled Chinese earthquake -

Telegraph: "A secondary school teacher has set himself dramatically against the tales of heroism arising from the Sichuan earthquake by describing how he callously abandoned his pupils to their fate.

In an act of moral foolhardiness, Fan Meizhong set out on a blog his guiding principle: in matters of life and death, it's every man for himself.

When the quake struck, rather than overseeing an orderly evacuation, he said he just shouted 'Stay calm, it's an earthquake!' and ran for it without looking back to see if his pupils were following.

'I ran towards the stairs so fast that I stumbled and fell as I went. When I reached the centre of the football pitch, I found I was the first to escape. None of my pupils was with me,' wrote the man now known across China as 'Runner Fan'.

When his pupils began to arrive, they asked: 'Teacher, why didn't you bring us out?'

His explanation was simple. 'I have a very strong sense of self-preservation,' he said. 'I have never been a brave man and I'm only really concerned about myself.'" continued

I guess to that coward above, like George Costanza in Seinfeld episode "The Fire" shown below and many others nowadays, women and children first is a thing of the past forever and ever.

How Amazing Is This?

We hear stories about medical anomalies and some of us may have experienced them ourselves as I had 20 years ago while in a drug induced coma after life saving brain surgery in 1987 .

The lady below had a harrowing brush with death after even being placed on a respirator to keep her alive after 2 heart attacks. Check this out as it says a lot when we are faced with the decisions of keeping loved ones alive in these situations and that the doctors cannot always explain everything.

Woman Wakes After Heart Stopped, Rigor Mortis Set In

FOXNews.com - - Health News | Current Health News | Medical News: "Val Thomas’ doctors honestly can’t explain how she is alive today.

Thomas, who lives in West Virginia, is being called a medical miracle after she suffered two heart attacks and had no brain waves for more than 17 hours; reports NewsNet5.com.

Thomas’ heart stopped around 1:30 a.m. Saturday and doctors said she had no pulse. Rigor mortis started to set in, and she was placed on a respiratory machine.

“Her skin had already started to harden and her fingers curled,” Thomas’ son, Jim, told NewsNet5.com. “Death had set in.”

Click here to discuss this story.

Thomas, 59, was rushed to a West Virginia hospital, where she was put on a special machine to induce hypothermia. This would allow her body to cool down for 24 hours before they would warm her up again, doctors explained.

However, Thomas’ heart stopped again after the procedure.

Her family said their goodbyes and Thomas’ tubes were removed, but she remained hooked on a ventilator as the possibility of organ donation was discussed.

However, Thomas woke up 10 minutes later and started talking." continued here

Muslim Convert Nut With Some Loose Screws

Get a load of what this nutjob British Muslim convert did the other day while on the job driving his bus to his terrified passengers in the so called "name of Allah".

This behavior is quite common in the fervent world of Islam and their ridiculous demands on others while they adhere to Islam's demanding prayer schedules and rituals, those of what most would call a cult if anything.

Muslim bus driver | Halts bus to pray | Mecca |

The Sun |HomePage|News: "A MUSLIM bus driver told stunned passengers to get off so he could PRAY.

The white Islamic convert rolled out his prayer mat in the aisle and knelt on the floor facing Mecca.
Passengers watched in amazement as he held out his palms towards the sky, bowed his head and began to chant.

One, who filmed the man on his mobile phone, said: “He was clearly praying and chanting in Arabic.

Route to Mecca ... he kneels on prayer mat placed at front of the bus

Route to Mecca ... he kneels on prayer mat
placed at front of the bus

“We thought it was a wind-up at first, like Jeremy Beadle.”

The 21-year-old plumber added: “He looked English and had a London accent. He looked like a Muslim convert, with a big, bushy beard.

“Eventually everyone started complaining. One woman said, ‘What the hell are you doing? I’m going to be late for work’.”

After a few minutes the driver calmly got up, opened the doors and asked everyone back on board.

But they saw a rucksack lying on the floor of the red single-decker and feared he might be a fanatic. So they all refused.

The passenger added:“One chap said, ‘I’m not getting on there now’.

“An elderly couple also looked really confused and worried.

“After seeing that no-one wanted to get on he drove off and we all waited until the next bus came about 20 minutes later. I was left totally stunned. It made me not want to get on a bus again.”

The bizarre event unfolded on the number 81 in Langley, Berkshire, at around 1.30pm on Thursday.

The passenger said he rang the bus firm to complain but claimed it did not believe him.

He said: “They asked me, ‘Are you sure?’. Then they said they would get back to me, but they weren’t taking me seriously at all.” continued

Mr Whipple Recommends Charges In Strange Toilet Seat Caper

And yes, the sheriff's name in this case is actually Mr Whipple, who many of the youngin's out there may not be aware was the name of the "Please Don't Squeeze The Charmin" toilet paper spokesman and an original commercial icon for many years during the 70's and 80's . As they say sometimes the truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

I along with millions of others blogged about this strange case yesterday, and it now appears that it is turning into a criminal investigation after an obviously troubled and/or terribly abused woman spent the past 2 years in her "loving" boyfriend's bathroom parked on the toilet seat before the caring man finally decided there just might be something a little bit wrong, and finally called up the local authorities who had to bring the poor woman to the nearest hospital in order to have the toilet seat surgically removed from her backside that literally had grown into one after such a long unimaginable trip to the can.

I'm certainly glad the very bright local authorities realized after a day or so of brain storming that there might be something a little bit fishy here after the boyfriend incredulously maintained that his girlfriend was entirely happy sitting there on the toilet for two years, and he basically found nothing wrong with her commode fixation until recently when the other commode apparently became unusable after he disabled it by having been so completely full of sh** while using it.

Gee, I myself have to wonder what else may have alerted this Einstein to the problem that his significant other was obviously sadly embroiled in?

Then again one would think after the woman's friends and family were calling on her for the past two years or so and being met with that same old tired excuse from Einstein "that she was still tied up in the bathroom" would have been met with a little bit of skepticism somewhere along the line by someone.

Can you say Jerry Springer 2 hour Easter episode? I knew you could.

Sheriff recommends charging boyfriend in toilet case:

www.kansascity.com | 03/13/2008 | NESS CITY, Kan. | The sheriff is recommending charges in the case of a western Kansas woman who sat on her boyfriend’s toilet for so long that her body became stuck to the seat.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said Thursday he asked the county attorney to file charges against Kory McFarren for mistreatment of a dependent adult. The county attorney will decide whether any charges are brought.

News about the case made Internet headlines around the world and left many of the town’s roughly 1,500 people incredulous.

“The unfortunate thing is this truly is a case of two people, in my opinion, with diminished mental capacity,” Whipple said.

McFarren did not answer his door Thursday, but later called The Associated Press and said he was done giving media interviews. He said he had done nothing wrong.

“The only thing I am guilty of is I didn’t get her help sooner,” he said.

On Wednesday, McFarren said his girlfriend, Pam Babcock, 35, had a phobia about leaving the bathroom.

Whipple was the second law enforcement officer to respond to the mobile home where McFarren and Babcock were living. Whipple, who described Babcock as a “thin, petite woman,” used a pry bar to take the seat off the toilet so the woman could be transported to the hospital where the seat was removed.

“The house was cluttered but not in shambles,” he said. “The smell was overpowering — a terrible smell about the house, obviously coming from where she was at.”

McFarren, 36, told the sheriff at that time that Babcock had not left the bathroom in two years, although McFarren now contends he’s unsure how long she was in there. Whipple said Thursday that judging by the woman’s condition — she had open sores on which the toilet seat would stick — it appeared she likely sat on the toilet continually for at least a month.

“She would have to be sleeping on the toilet,” the sheriff said.

McFarren said she moved around in the bathroom during that time, bathed and changed into clothes he brought her. He brought food and water to her. They had conversations and an otherwise normal relationship — except it all happened in the bathroom.

But the sheriff disputed that account: “She hadn’t bathed for quite some time, I am safe in saying. She obviously was not keeping herself up.”

McFarren said he finally called police Feb. 27 after he became worried because Babcock was acting groggy, as if she didn’t know what was going on around her.

What emergency responders found when they entered the bathroom has left many in the town of about 1,500 people buzzing and authorities incredulous.

Doctors at the Wichita hospital where Babcock is hospitalized told the boyfriend an infection in her legs has damaged her nerves and may leave her in a wheelchair, he said.

McFarren, who works at an antique store, said he has been taking care of Babcock for the 16 years they have lived together. He insisted that he tried to coax her out of the bathroom every day.

“And her reply would be, ‘Maybe tomorrow,’ ” Whipple said.

God's Creatures Being Medicated Now By Man

Where does this all end? How exactly did we become therapists to the Animal kingdom and become real live Dr Doolittle's able to determine which of these glorious creatures is depressed and in need of psychotropic drugs?

And when exactly has anyone actually determined when an animal has become suicidal and in need of therapy? This is going just a little too far for my taste as I happen to believe that these drugs and this profession has done enough to ruin mankind in many ways, now it's on to the Wild Kingdom for Pfizer and friends apparently.

How literally disgusting this whole revelation is to me....Pet Prozac....

Suicidal pets get anti-depressants |

NEWS.com.au: "PETS at risk of self-harm are increasingly being prescribed anti-depressants because they cannot discuss problems in their lives with others, a leading veterinarian says.
Zoo and wildlife medicine specialist with the UK’s Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Romain Pizzi, told the Telegraph that more pets were being prescribed Prozac.

Tropical birds such as parrots seemed to have been the most affected by depression, Mr Pizzi told the newspaper.

But Mr Pizzi said anti-depressants were only used in the most extreme of cases.

“Firstly, we will change the environment of the animal and make sure it has more stimulation and toys,” Mr Pizzi told the newspaper.

'When we have ruled out underlying medical problems, we try to break the cycle by using Prozac… (which) is given to the parrots in liquid form.

'It doesn't cure all animals, but around two-thirds respond to the treatment. In a small number of cases things will go well until we wean them off Prozac and the problems return.'

Mr Pizzi said the severity of some pet’s depression often put their lives at risk.

'Typically if people go out to work all day their parrot will get very bored and frustrated and eventually develop depression,” he said.

“Symptoms often include plucking out their feathers or self mutilation"

I guess they might do that when they're kept in cages and zoo's while being prodded, analyzed and constantly poked at by Animal Psych Dr's and such.!!

Then in the same day we see this story hit the airwaves and internet:

Study casts doubt on anti-depressants

FT.com Prescribing anti-depressants to the vast majority of patients is futile, as the drugs have little or no impact at all, according to researchers.

Almost 50 clinical trials were reviewed by psychologists from the University of Hull who found that new-generation anti-depressants worked no better than a placebo – a dummy pill – for mildly depressed patients.

Even the trials that suggested some clinical benefit for the most severely depressed patients did not produce convincing evidence. Professor Irving Kirsch from the university’s pyschology department said: “The difference in improvement between patients taking placebos and patients taking anti-depressants is not very great.

“This means that depressed people can improve without chemical treatments. Given these results, there seems little reason to prescribe anti-depressant medication to any but the most severely depressed patients.” continued

So these drugs are turning out to be terrible for humans causing all kinds of unexpected ramifications like mass murders and other crime seemingly related to their medicated states. So lets start feeding this sh** to the animals to keep the drugs on the shelves of drug companies?

I'm a conservative and normally don't rail against big business and drug companies, but this crap is going way too far and needs to be reigned in or stopped altogether in my opinion and many others I'm sure.
