It does state `removable aliens`, which I would assume would not include a legal resident or nonresident alien. I initially read it as applying to all aliens, regardless of status.

IANAL, but this part seems incredibly open-ended - does anyone know if this is standard? Namely, I'm referring to parts 2, 3, 5, and 6, of which 2 and 3 seem to contradict the idea of "innocent until proven guilty", though I don't know how that applies to non-citizens, and 5 and 6 which seem extremely open to interpretation.

> Additionally, regardless of the basis of removability, Department personnel should prioritize removable aliens who: (I) have been convicted of any criminal offense; (2) have been charged with any criminal offense that has not been resolved; (3) have committed acts which constitute a chargeable criminal offense; ( 4) have engaged in fraud or willful misrepresentation in connection with any official matter before a governmental agency; (5) have abused any program related to receipt of public benefits; (6) are subject to a final order of removal but have not complied with their legal obligation to depart the United States; or (7) in the judgment of an immigration officer, otherwise pose a risk to public safety or national security.

Sometimes it's frustrating to get sites working with it, but it's nice to know I can have such fine grained control over every (I think?) connection each website is making. Sometimes I'm just astonished - some sites are making network requests to dozens and dozens of other domains!

Gold. Worked perfectly.

Tried accessing it via incognito - that didn't work either

If you know how in a way that actually works, I'm all ears. WSJ seems to rarely, if ever, work for me googling the titles these days.

OT: For what it's worth, the "web" link to do a google search of the article no longer brings up search results that show the whole article.

Edit: At the top since I think it may qualify my comments: I think there's a causation/correlation incongruity in this, the parent, and the grandparent posts. Telomere lengthening can lead to cancer; getting cancer is not necessarily a "sure-fire way to increase telomere length"

"Cancer" is an unbelievably broad term. Generally speaking, expression of telomerase and maintenance of telomeres is seen in (many) cancers. The background behind this is that as telomeres shorten with each cell replication, they get to a point where they are too short, and the cell stops dividing. Cancer occurs when cells that are not supposed to divide keep dividing.

OT: Anyone able to copy and paste the content of the article? All I get when I go to Forbes these days is the quote screen and nothing ever loads.

You know, this is a question I frequently ponder. I don't know if I have a good answer.

Interestingly, I think coming from a software background, where things are (generally) predictable and orderly, can help establish some of the most important foundations of practicing medicine. In writing software, we generally have a good idea about what's going to happen when we run our code. In medicine, we follow the same blueprint when approaching every patient. This ensures that we're both better able to recognize patterns when they are present, as well as making sure we are consistently thorough in collecting all the information necessary for a diagnosis.

There are also tremendous differences - probably the biggest is what could generally be called variability. In software, we generally want the product to run identically for every user - it is quite frustrating when it works differently on every computer. In medicine, we don't end up with much choice on the matter - everyone is different. And so we need to take those differences into account when we are formulating our diagnoses and are when we decide to prescribe (or not prescribe) a medication for a patient. I enjoy the challenge that this variability brings to the practice of medicine.

As a paramedic for many years now, I've had the pleasure of practicing (albeit in a very limited manner) medicine. I think what I most look forward to in becoming a physician is being at the top, directing patient care on a larger level. I also look forward to seeing more of a patient, rather than just the hour or so that it takes me to treat them and transport them to the hospital (unfortunately, paramedics in the USA are not yet look upon as definitive care). I hope to stay involved in prehospital medicine as a physician and help it grow to be considered a true career and as a source of definitive medicine.

Yes, hopefully into emergency medicine, but I start rotations this summer so we'll see where my passions truly lie.

Came here to comment similarly. Interesting article, completely unreadable to me due to the wiggle of all the garbage all over the page.

The US, like everyone else in the world, will always be an oil exporter and an oil importer. The grades of oil differ throughout the world, and are used in different industries.

I was wondering why its just a blank, white page when i view it on my ipad. Now i know

It's worth pointing out that coal is not coming back. Far too much of industry has moved on and converted to natural gas based supply. Not to mention the costs of starting up coal mines and processing again. In the current energy market, it's rather unfathomable.

Its never too late. May not be easy, but its never too late.

Did. Currently in medical school.

Because not every state is like that. I live in Pennsylvania. I don't even know what the ballot issues will be. Hell, I don't even know who is running locally.

I also can't vote by mail just because I want to. I have to be out of town on official business to "qualify" for a mail in ballot. Being on vacation isn't even an apparently accepted reason (on mobile but I'll get a link)

Edit: Link to PA absentee ballot application: http://www.dosimages.pa.gov/pdf/AbsenteeBallotApplication.pd...

Relevant parts:

Section A: I declare that I am eligible to vote absentee at the forthcoming primary or election since I expect that my duties, occupation or business will require me to be absent from the municipality of my residence on the day of the primary or election for the reason stated below; and that all of the information which I have listed on this absentee ballot application is true and correct.

Section B: I declare that I am eligible to vote absentee at the forthcoming primary or election due to the illness or physical disability stated below; that the information required to be listed pertaining to my attending physician is correctly stated herein and that all other information that I have listed on this absentee ballot application is true and correct.

Entertainingly, this page 503s currently.

I'm really confused about "RigPlenish". One, who the hell is taking 40 minutes to write their chart? Second, I fail to grasp they can create a meaningful patient record (a legal document providing critical insight into the patient's history) through automation. If they're trying to undermine the process of creating the patient record, they're doing a disservice to the patient and to future healthcare providers of that patient.

That address seems to work, but the mouse disappears whenever it's... under... the map, so I can't see what part of the map I'm clicking on.

Different cultures I guess. I definitely would not have done that as a kid, my parents wouldn't have allowed me to, and someone would have called the police if they saw a 10y/o walking along these roads

Where I grew up, you had to live more than 2.2 miles to qualify for the bus. I lived 2.1. Not an ideal distance to walk, especially since most of it was major roads without sidewalks

To be fair, RPI is in Troy, NY, and MIT is in Cambridge/Boston, MA.

Nonetheless, I agree with you. Location probably is a deciding factor in a minority of people who would rather go to MIT to talk than RPI.

It's a bit pedantic, but most medical schools don't actually require a bachelor's degree. They do, however, require something in the order of 80+ credits worth of classes, at which point you might as well finish the degree.

Personally, I think it's a good requirement. It forces people to spend a bit more time maturing before they finish school, and it also providers an opportunity to pursue a different field before entering medical school, or provides a different background when practicing clinically.

I also can certainly agree that not having it can be beneficial in points you mentioned as well

> Doctors are already paid absurd salaries in the US

To put it in context, when I finish all my training, I will owe over $600,000.

It's not the doctors being "paid absurd salaries" that makes medical care in this country expensive. It's lawyers - malpractice insurance can take upwards of 25+% of your income - and it's insurance companies, who have shareholders they are responsible to, and it's hospital administration, whose positions keep multiplying.

Finger pulse ox meters are often inaccurate and can't be trusted to give a reliable pulse for a whole host of reasons

Yeah, hence the "might"; some programs are doctorate degrees

Nurse practitioners might have a doctorate in nursing, but calling them doctors is extremely misleading. They function is a very similar capacity to PAs, although PAs often have more capabilities.

All of the levels mentioned here have their places, but calling any of them "doctors" who don't have an MBBS, MD, DO, or equivalent physician-level degree is inappropriate.

Not sure where you're living, but I lived in Rochester, NY and just outside Pittsburgh, PA the last two years. The last time I saw a square reader was when I lived in Manhattan, 3 years ago. I'm not sure if I'm just not frequenting the types of places that would use square readers, or if where they're popular is isolated geographically.
