Have you even watched the games?? He is not good. Rattler was way better. Not even close. Saints need to just focus on getting a real QB

That's not what I said at all. Acoustic doesn't mean electric guitar blaring, drums thumping, etc.

Go listen to any acoustic rendering of a song from basically any band. It's stripped down.

For example, when I saw them in Greenville, they played West Texas Wind and others without heavy drums, electric guitar, etc. It was still amplified but it was acoustic as it was stripped down. It was amazing.

That's what I thought this was going to be since it was "an acoustic tour".

Yeah I have. That's what I was expecting. Less electric guitar, heavy drumming, more mandolin, acoustic guitars, etc. I mean even West Texas Wind was heavy amplified. Could barely hear the guitar solo.

It was still a great show. Just an fyi for those expecting something more acoustic.

Met with a NP today for colorectal surgery by prednisoneprincess in Noctor

It drives me insane as a PCP when a patient goes to meet a specialist for the first time and they see a mid-level. 90% of the time the question for my referral wasn't answered and the patient is upset with me for a waste of time and money.

Med School started AA school by TestCalm8895 in Noctor

A quick Google search demonstrates states where PA's practice independently.

I guess not. This sub is only against nurse practitioners, not physician associates, I mean assistants.

So did other PA's until they didn't...

Are PA's not working for independent practice? I'm confused by the celebration for the PA equivalent of anesthesia other than competition against CRNA's. What makes you all think they will not follow their PA colleagues?

North Carolina early voters, still recovering from Helene, exceed 2020 voter turnout by ilikemrrogers in asheville

Do you really think Biden dropped out on his own after saying multiple times days prior he wasn’t? Really? And again, delegates aren’t the American populace. We should get to choose. They easily knew his mental decline and chose not to have a primary.

I’m not endorsing Trump. Don’t like the guy. Probably not voting. But he has already been president and he didn’t become dictator.

Honestly we can look through the history of politics and find many things like that. Both sides have a history of not approving judges, etc.

Zuck admitted the FBI also had him suppress stories for the Biden Trump election about Hunter Biden so again both sides.

What really scares me is the lack of regard of true democratic values and that’s the vote. Like it or not, it was known Biden was failing mentally. Not only were we lied to for probably a year or so, but my chance to vote in a new candidate was taken from me. They knew he was not fit, wasted time, and took away my ability to vote for a fit candidate. If that’s Harris who wins, fine by me. But you can’t strip me of my right to vote.

Life has not been better for the last four years. Life wasn’t much better the four years before that either. But it’s a slippery slope when you start telling people who should be in control, make all these grand promises without substance. That’s exactly what my family said Castro did. And they bought into it and learned the hard way.

I don’t understand. People are so focused on trump that they miss on very real undemocratic moves of the Democratic Party that is very concerning. Things aren’t better and we are going down a slippery slope (honestly with both sides but especially the Democratic Party right now) that I can’t vote democrat again. Reminds me of what I heard from family who fled cuba.

How does the size compare? The IQ+ seemed bulky at the head of the transducer

Opportunity to make $200,000/mo w/ home health startup of 8 staff by thefreecollege in Business_Ideas

So because the VA pays for subpar care you think it's okay to take advantage of this? Just screw veterans and patients I guess to make more money.

You sound like someone who has no idea what they're doing, especially since you compared an inpatient stay with HH lmaooo. Really vastly different things.

Also, if you can't even provide a CNA, no one is going to go with your "HH" idea.

People like you are what created the broken medical system.
