    Surgeon forgets to remove appendix during appendectomy

    I'm going to play devil's advocate here. The OP's title is intentionally misleading. The surgeon likely thought what he removed was the appendix. We have no idea what the patient's history was. Many things can render the abdominal cavity a mess (previous surgery, inflammatory diseases...

    Pregnant nurse fired for not taking flu vaccine

    What's wrong with surgery? There are surgical options with both endometriosis and fibroids that don't involve removing organs (maybe part of them). I'm guessing since you saw a bunch of doctors they already went over all your options. I'm sorry that happened to your wife, but research...

    Saddest thing I've seen in a while. Look at all 31 pics.

    As good as it sounds, this will never happen. At least not anytime soon. MRI is still fairly expensive, and doing full body scans will drive up health care costs to unbelievable levels. No one would be able to afford health care. In addition, it can't tell you if it's cancer or not...

    why psychiatry is authoritarian bs

    I'll play along. You're right, in a sense. A lot of things are created by humans, but it doesn't make them not real. Currently, there's no blood test or scan we can do to detect mental illnesses. That doesn't mean there will never be. Despite medical research, there's still a lot we...

    A Creationists View of Dinosaurs and the Theory of Evolution

    Let me get this straight. Now you are distancing yourself and saying the bible is not a science, when it's clear in the previous page you were amazed how it can be "refined," just like science: "You are clueless. The same refinements in science is with honest Bible readers. For instance, the...

    A Creationists View of Dinosaurs and the Theory of Evolution

    Exactly. Rob, if you can't understand this fundamental difference, I don't think we can continue talking about this conversion.

    A Creationists View of Dinosaurs and the Theory of Evolution

    It may not make it 100% correct, but in the age of the scientific method, it's usually pretty damn close. Why is that? But it's repeatable. By multiple people. In different labs. If you get the same result time after time, you're assumption is that you will always get that result. It's...

    Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

    Since Amendola is out, would you guys start Thompkins instead of either Antonio Brown or Cecil Shorts? Can't make up my mind :(

    YACT: Cookware suggestions

    I bought an single induction cooktop about a year ago. Overall I think it works very well and can cook most things at a 3-4 setting (out of 10). It changes heat rapidly like a gas stove and thus can control the temperatures fairly well. One thing I've noticed is that I can't deep fry...

    HP TouchPad 16GB - $99.

    How did you turn off WiFi when asleep? I can't find the option anywhere. Edit: Nevermind, just found it. On another note, anyone else annoyed when you scroll down webpages and you can move the screen from side to side?

    Has anyone here been diagnosed with bipolar disorder?

    According to the technical definition of bipolar disorder, you don't necessarily have to have depression, although they say everyone has it eventually. And there's also bipolar disorder II, which is basically a milder form (hypomanic). Keep in mind that with the classic bipolar, the manic...

    Official 2010-2011 NBA Playoffs Thread

    If you look at the video closely, Rondo actually pulls Wade's left hip with his hand. Its not much, but it causes Wade's left leg to swing out (instead of hit the ground), and leads to Wade falling back. Wade was probably trying to grab on to something to keep him up.
