Looking for a mid-size domestic car recommendation

_________________________________________________________

Probably had a car without a cup holder. You youngsters don't remember,
but they used to make 'em that way.

And with that, having accomplished nothing, I'm quitting this thread.

I'll try to come visit y'all in the hospital as often as I can.

 

Concord is near Charlotte. They also built a box near Wilmington and it is
empty.

He was making a point. One that a bunch of you don't seem to understand.
Bush hates lawyers but he hired a bunch when being interviewed over the CIA
outing by Novak.

 

Domestic car companies used to deliver cars with scores of defects. They
claimed that was the best they could do until faced with Japanese
competition. Now they count defects per hundred cars. The medical industry
is where the domestic car industry was decades ago. I'm glad to hear that
Duke successfully treated your daughter but patients should not be relying
on serendipity while in a hospital. Duke and government regulators found
terrible flaws in their system after the transplant error. That might not
seem too bad but just a few years prior, other problems were found at Duke
that were so bad that they were removed from the list to run certain medical
studies... an extreme sanction used because Duke failed to respond to
several warnings about their processes. Duke promised to clean up their act
then but apparently did not. We will never know what Duke paid in damages
for the transplant error because it was kept confidential. Most of these
messes are no longer public knowledge because Duke, like many hospitals,
sneak in a binding arbitration clause with all the other papers you sign at
admission. That way the cases never get to court and don't face much public
scrutiny.

 

Yes, you've made it quite clear that you can't think for yourself and
depend on others to look out for you.

That's OK, don't bother, you might slip and fall on the way in and sue
the hospital. My medical care costs enough already. Please just stay
home with your remote control and don't do anything where you might hurt
yourself.


Matt

 

Wrong again. The Wilmington plant is running very well.

Matt

 

Lawsuits like that are so frivolous....I really hope that someone does
something to end them.

It's no one's fault but your own if you eat until you get sick and
find yourself overweight.

 

Good LORD Matt !

Just What are you encouraging?

Bill will get repetitive strain injury in his thumb from the remote,
TV news induced Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,
onset of obesity and a propensity for diabetes from the food the TV
commercials are "forcing" him to consume, back strain from trying to
get off his ass to go to the refrigerator, etc, etc, etc.....

Quick, someone call that man a Lawyer !

 

LOL!

What about the heart attack he gets when he try's dialing the lawyer?

The problem with society today is, every wants to blame everyone else!

I've had cars without cup holders, and I've never put cups of hot coffee
between my legs! My nuts were as important to me then, as they are to me
now!

OK, Bill you're a Lawyer! Actually, I hadn't thought of that before,
but I'll bet he IS a lawyer. That would explain is POV.


Matt

 

Yes you are correct. The plants were closed but are now open.

My news was old news.

 

No - they just loudly complain about the malpractice insurance
premiums. So you're telling me that a good physician is not concerned
about being sued for something that is not his/her fault when real world
says they should be? You're FOS.

Lawsuits don't scare Good MD's. Jury's full of incompetent morons do.

You have no doubt noticed that America is the land of doctors with sky
high malpractice insurance premiums.

But, have you also noticed that the US is also the land where the put
the determination of financial compensation in the hands of complete
idiots?

What other civilized country does that? If you can't see that
connection there is little else that I can do to explain my position.

PS The Trailer park & the Springer show isn't actually the real world.
Oh also, just a FYI that Hilton girl's TV show isn't the "real world
either" A good doctor screens and educates his patients before he
ever lifts a scalpel.

PPS. Don't take it so personally, it's just an opinion.

 

A little informational tidbit:

HIV patients may carry more than 1 strain, scientists warn
Last Updated Tue, 31 Aug 2004 17:32:00 EDT
MONTREAL - HIV patients may carry more than one strain of the virus,
say scientists who now warn that even partners who are both infected
should practise safe sex.

A man who got a drug-resistant form of the virus was re-infected 10
months later with another HIV strain, the Montreal researchers found
in a case study published in the August issue of the journal AIDS.

They estimate that three to four per cent of newly infected HIV
patients may have a secondary infection, or superinfection, that could
spread to their partners.

"We used to say to couples who are both HIV-positive, you don't have
to take precautions," said Dr. Mark Wainberg, director of the McGill
AIDS Centre, which participated in the study. "Now I think we have to
be a little bit more cautious."

He and colleagues long suspected a person could harbour two different
forms of HIV. They proved it by identifying and cloning the viruses
from one man and his partner.

"This is the first time we have observed this kind of case study in
Canada," said Wainberg, adding that there were simultaneous, similar
reports from the United States and Switzerland.

"We know that this is something that is taking place now on a daily,
widespread basis."

Superinfections will set back research, Wainberg said, making the
disease much tougher to treat.

"This has to make it harder for us to develop a protective vaccine."
does the quarantine notion sound so crazy in this context?

Just something that made me go Hmmm......

 

If you think the citizens of the U.S. are any match for the U.S.
Government because they are allowed to have pea shooters compared to
the government's tanks then you are sadly delusional.

And the right wingers still go around calling people "commies". It's
funny.

You are much closer now, but the Wilmington plant was never shut down
.... other than when the occasional hurricane threatens.


Matt

 

How do you separate the two (hint: you can't unless you settle as if you
are guilty even if you aren't). Sounds like a semantics game to me.
Jurys full of incompetent morons are *WHY* good MD's might ought to be
scared of lawsuits.
