Was that before they invented yellow cabs, because they don't give a F.

Pre-ride weight a bit high this morning, 147 lbs. I have a couple easy days coming up so I will probably watch the snacking a bit and focus on quality nutrition, portion size etc. Realistically though I'm not super worried about it - this is normal for me.
Pre-surgery, I would normally live in 145 - 147. After the hernia op (early Jan.) I lost some muscle and got used to seeing 143 - 145 lbs, which was nice I guess, but that's not normal or healthy for me. I was weak.

I couldn't believe when I visited NYC in 2002, we were in a Town Car and our driver got in a shouting match with another Town Car, whose driver stopped and opened his door, then our driver opened his door, sprang out of the car and pulled a knife, chased the other driver back into his car. Pretty exciting start to my first visit since 1980

Those are the CYA words, of course, but the bare minimum. More defensible in litigation would be something like, "I emphasized to Mr. A that drug x has potentially fatal side effects and that some of the milder ones might make him wish they were fatal. He told me unambiguously and repeatedly that he understood and accepted the risk. The interaction was captured on the accompanying video file, for which he gave written informed consent."
Is this bad?

That's what they think passes for "representation".

I spent a few wild weekends in Florence in the '90s. For Rhodie Days they had a big parade and drinking in the streets was not frowned upon, bikers would roll into town from miles around, after the parade a band played George Thorogood covers and the like. Boobies were flashed on the dance floor.

I found some more pictures from the race taken by a photographer so I purchase a couple. Won’t let me upload for some reason. Picture quality is too good I guess.

My Stingray days were in LA. As is always the case there, being mobile is key. I think the mass transit system may have improved, but odds are......

I agree: Only "difficult" patients read their records. "Pleasant" ones don't.

My Euro-dad considered cycling to be something one simply "did" in the city for transportation and sedate exercise. He taught me to stay out of the door zone, take the lane when necessary, and stop on red. Yellow cabs were, of course, plentiful, even Checkers with jump seats.

I'm telling you, my doc visits are always longer than anyone else's. We have nice conversations with lots of give and take, and no a one has ever referred to me as a "she" in my chart. Aside from being an ******* for a living, I must be a pleasant patient.
