I made not a single ad-hominem. An ad hominem would be a claim such as they have bad haircuts and smell funny so they are wrong. It is an attack on an un-related and non-relevant personal trait. All I did was suggest that there's been a history of poor reasoning leading to bad advice, which I would hope you would agree calls for a close examination of the current advice.
Did you read it? It isn't a study showing HARM from second hand smoke. It's a survey of how much exposure there is to second hand smoke.It (like the other links on that page) presupposes the harm.
You've been papered! It's the same dirty trick lawyers sometimes use to "comply" with discovery while making sure nothing is discovered.
You just gave a page full of conclusions and summaries. If there's a link to an actual controlled study anywhere in there, I can't find it. Brought to you by the same people who recommended transfat laden margarine for your health.
I say that as someone who switched to vaping and hopes to stay switched through DIY and the black market after the FDA's regs go into full effect.
I seriously doubt that lack of training is the significant barrier to using heroine. The fact that we have junkies suggests that it's not that hard to figure out how to give yourself an injection.
Further, some mistakes with the Epi-Pen are a hazard to the person using it as well as the patient. "Untold Stories of the ER" had a segment where the doctor ended up injecting her thumb. What does that say about the odds for a bystander?
But his national health insurance does and it determined that even the steep price of a chartered air ambulance was cheaper than the additional cost of U.S. treatment.
You think there's no rationing in the U.S.? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What do you think it is when the insurance increases the copay or denies a charge? How about when the HMO dings the doctor if he can't process enough patients a day?
At least in socialized medicine, when rationing happens they don't shred your personal finances.
The single payer systems DO have to be reasonable about it (nobody will sell at a loss). However, the same greed that makes Mylan charge $600 instead of $100 will cause them to agree to make $500 million on the thing rather than zero.
So what you're saying is that they weren't actually unable to call in prescriptions, communicate between departments, or access patient records. It did cost them about $300K.
Note that he attacked the internet facing portions of their network. It's not like he was knocking out medical monitors or anything.
Right, but knowing about her is an absolute prerequisite to any further digging you might (or might not) be inclined to do. There are a lot of people who now know about her. Some will actually get curious and dig deeper. Some of those will apply political pressure for reforms.
A biotech professional is quite likely to know the laws and regulations surrounding hospital networks and required contingency plans in the event of network failure since they will likely be involved in equipment that is connected to the network and that must remain usable under the no network contingency.
Now, with what authority do you claim a person in his profession would not know any of that?
I think some of the confusion may be a holdover from way back when we were transitioning from tubes to transistors. What you said is true for good reproduction amps. But most people have/had mediocre amplifiers. They definitely don't have enough headroom to cover transients and the typical home stereo doesn't even have enough to not distort horribly when turned all the way up. Under those conditions, a mediocre tube amp would sound better than a mediocre transistor amp of that time.
None of that applies to current high end equipment, and there is no consumer grade tube amp unless it's a scam. But then audiophiles tend to believe in special signal conditioned directional cables, magic rocks, and tones through the telephone that somehow condition the room to sound better.
It may also be based on distant memories, but that warmth comes from nostalgia, not tubes.
Some really are that touchy, but it isn't as common as people assume. Even those tend to maintain a small sphere of defense and not sting outside of it. The ones I chased off were like that and unfortunately, that sphere included our side door.

Sorry top douible reply, but here goes.

They have been convicted in Europe and Japan as well. MS is literally a three time loser.
I believe they have to have a pulse and breath on a regular basis.
When I was in school, the office assistant doubled as the "nurse". She was equipped with a bottle of iodine and a box of band-aids.
I seriously doubt that lack of training is the significant barrier to using heroine. The fact that we have junkies suggests that it's not that hard to figure out how to give yourself an injection.
It would actually cost less to put a few people through a certification program than it would to stock pens rather than syringes.
It's not much of a stretch that samaritan laws would protect whoever gave the necessary injection. Much like they do for the person using a pen.

There is some cause there, but note that Texas created statutory limits on malpractice payouts and things got even more expensive there.

If he is installing a device anywhere in the hospital that must comply with those regulations, he will know them.
I'd like to know where you got a copy of his CV to make your determination.

OH LOOK! He DID! For obvious reasons, we didn't know it was him until after the arrest.

Did you know she even existed yesterday?
Unless, of course, you really are an authority and you really do know.
Inability to route prescriptions electronically to pharmacies
OMG! Don't tell me someone had to call it in!
Email downtime for departments where email supports critical processes
You're telling me this place actually bets peoples lives on EMAIL? Perhaps they should stay shut down!
Inability to access remotely hosted electronic health records
AND they have no procedure to deal with a network issue? No alternate networks? Not even via cellphone?
The workarounds are there. They mean bringing in extra people and cost money, but they are there.

As far as space goes, remove Facebook and you'll have room for lots of apps.
I would if I could. That and the Blockbuster app that offers to find a store near me.

Dry ice sticks to exposed skin, liquid N2 bounces off from the leidenfrost effect.
They probably moved into the more wooded area outside the neighborhood.
It must be unpleasant to live in fear of everything, how sad for you.
