    no, operating theaters don't work like that. no just walks out with a blood soaked sponge.

    There's 100's of objects involved in some surgeries, some procedures taking many hours with multiple specialists having to come in and out to work on their area of expertise.

    So until you have a medical degree and the years of on the job experience that it takes to even set foot in a surgery, you don't get to call anyone an idiot that does.

    Doing otherwise makes you look like a typical fat,lazy, IGNORANT armchair skeptic who can't even be bothered to use the slightest bit of brain power their pathetic brain is capable of mustering.

  6. herd immunity on YouTube Breeding Harmful Scientific Misinformation · · Score: 1
    The problem with all these moron's not getting their kids vaccinated, is that they are actually safe for a little while due to a thing called "herd immunity". basicly because the majority of the herd (us) are immune there's not much of a foot hold for disease to spread from. this means said retards actually get away without being vaccinated and don't get sick, and attempt to point to that as proof they don't need their shots.

    once our herd immunity falls below a critical level, outbreaks can occur and then you'll see them drop like flies. hopfully they all catch mumps and become sterile to prevent their stupidity spreading as well.

    no, it's not. if you such a fucking retard that you can't understand why we need vaccinations then i hope you an everyone like you dies from the illnesses that a simple vaccine could have saved you from.

    This isn't aimed at you personally, but you just confirmed WHY the anti GM food movment is insane.

    There was all this bull about GM crops cross pollenating "organic" crops when GM crops were first planted. Monsanto said no, we have engineered the crops so that they can't seed or pollenate to avoid this.

    And now your trashing them for the exact thing that everyone jumped up and down and wanted in the first place.

    you are confusing a very complex issue. limited liability payments is going to be required to put a stop to people treating the court system like a lucky dip when it comes to medical problems.

    like it or not things go wrong in surgery, there's no gaurantees, and something going wrong isn't a meal ticket.

    yes, negligent doctors need to be stopped, no it doesn't mean you should be paid millions. all these people being awarded millions in payouts for nonsense problems are what's driving health insurance through the roof, and discouraging new doctors and nurses from entering the profession. If it keeps up there won't be a health system left
