Is It Sunday? Time for a Phew Physician Phunnies . . .
These might be less funny if they weren't . . . you know, true. The scribblings of screwy scriveners in medicine is often jaw-dropping. “Trust me.

Hirono also insists that accused Doctor Christine Blasey Ford “needs to be believed." Well, what if I decided to suggest that women of Japanese-origin should shut up and step up – apologizing over and again for the sins of their war-mongering antecedents? Ms. Hirono comes across as a pluperfect example

And the Moral of the Story?
I don't pretend to know all the answers, as to WHY healthcare became such a mess, but . . . it ain't rocket science to recognize a few contributing factors to the chaos:
Once upon a time in the land of plenty, a kindly uncle let the doctor-children build their own house & make their own rules. And all the kids with stethoscope toys were gleeful, because they knew that, if you get to make the rules, you usually win the games.
