in case you don't know, many textbooks comes from lecture notes of professors. one notable is the 'lecture notes' series for medicine from blackwell science (if i remember correctly)
I suppose it isn't that hard to spot brain atrophy even on CT/MRI (not even an open brain). If i can see nothing but bunches of grapes inside i suppose the patient is mindlesss.
common things comes commonly all the time, but what the nurses lack of course is that of the rare cases. It's universal fact that doc's like the exotic and rare things while the nurses knows the common things. It's not that doc's don't know their bookstuff.

As well put by somebody else, "If they are to make a diagnosis, attend a medical school first"
I guess the problem lies on the variety of differential diagnoses, and the correlated basic science knowledge present in the mind of the practicing nurse compared with a medical doctor. I for one would agree that some 90% of the problems presenting to a family doctor can be managed quite effectively by a practicing nurse, but the problem is to know 'when to refer'. In addition at least to my knowledge nurses are not as knowledgable as doc's in terms of knowledge...
Take necrotising fasciitis as an example, the signs/symptoms may not be very obvious (just a fever, pain somewhere in the femoral joint region) but the consequence may be very severe (death if not treated within hours with wide surgical debridgement).
Common things are common, and are often easy to treat, but uncommon presentation of uncommon things are often missed if the attending person is not well-informed enough.
you said 'hard drive fails', but what doesn't fail? tapes? CDs? DVDs? everything do fail sometimes, granted, harddrives may fail more often that some of the other media, but do GWB or god forbid you from turning the external hard disk off?
I'm sorry, but as for fermented egg, it may taste funny on the first taste, but it certainly is not sour. a sour century egg is probably a spoiled (read: should not be consumed) century egg...
the answer to your question is simple. natural selection hasn't put apes into eternal sleep (yet). living demands a degree of fitness but with good environment the degree of fitness necessary to allow survival is low.
and that people suddenly become mature or some almighty supranatural beings hardwired them at 18? this is just bullshit. and how is 18 defined? per randomized controlled trial? by a cohort of 10000 children? or by a society of religious zealots?
if somebody say a child at 12 consent to have sex with him/her, i would be very worrying, but if it's a 15, i'd be a lot less worrying, and at 17 i think him/her would be mature enough. it's not the existence of an age limit that's important, but it's the actual value of age limit that's being stupid here. nowadays on average people lost their virginity at some 16-17 yo and getting more than 70% of people violating a law is stupid.
> But also realise, that this industrialised society is why I am Vegan in the first place: I am opposed to factory farming and the inhumane treatment of farm animals.
however, when you eat vegetables in industralized countries you can only be supporting, not opposing factory farming. you can do that by means of helping the trade, but you will never win.
> It's like asking a hardcore OSS only user, "What if you had a computer that only had closed-source software available for it?". The question is nonsense and ignores the point of the protest entirely.
this question is NOT nonsense, as a hardcore OSS only user, i would use another computer. people can use another computer, not another life.
strict vegans has a broad spectrum of vitamin deficiency, most notably vitamin B12, unless you don't really wash it, or wish that you had quite a bit of bacterial-contaminated food which contain plenty of bacteria to make vitamin B12.
child abuse is a very common example on these things. more commonly we medical people see are jehovah's witness who would not accept blood products for their child and we have to get a lawyer to explain to them on that they had no ground on forbidding that on their child...
you may have seen a lot of chinese things which are made cheap and sold cheap. these companies listed below has quite a bit of things made well and sold cheap.
1. nifedipine is usually prescribed in the aged population, not some 20yo or 30yo.. at least in my area. 2. nobody can stop your research as to seek if nifedipine (or any other calcium channel blocker, as such) will be very effective (as in hundred MAN years, as opposed to hundred women-year for female contraceptives) in being a male contraceptive, whether its effect are enough to be a drug of choice, is another matter, though.
i would wonder how that 30 seconds waiting on getting a cell call translate to the survival of the patient. I'd assume that somebody will do CPR for the poor chap if he got cardiac arrest -- and while CPR is going along somebody would have made the call.
If the patient is alert and consciousness i'd assume the better way to go would be taking a taxi to the nearest hospital...
im pretty sure that an 14 yo girl will have a well-estrogenized vagina. depends on how you think, you'd tell me a girl go out with somebody she meet in myspace JUST FOR A CHAT? that's funny man
It does take a while to think why the hell US should put a spy plane anywhere near china. I would be definitely glad to hear any comment if China put tons of spy planes just one meter beyond US borders.
Multiple standards, huh?

no way. there is nowhere in taiwan where the 'average' earns US$150-200K/year, if you want it's around US$15-20K/year. talking about NT$35K/month, that is around 1.2K/month. (Sorry for poor currency conversion, i think these figures are reasonably accurate.)

well, it's "X window" rather than "X windows"..

There is absolutely no reason why the price of food should reflect their environment cost. Rather, it should reflect their supply and demand.

be practical.
take a look downstairs at your nice supermarket and calculate a calorie/dollar for both meat and vegetable.
your definition of veganism and pacifist seems to be very different from what is understood and practiced these days. argument over.
