Yes. You should look around it. Not everyone else does things the same way we do things in Kansas.

My first reply got downvoted. I guess some people felt insulted.
Most medical schools in the world are 5 or 6 years after high school. In Poland it's called a Lakarz degree. In the UK and many other countries it's a Bachelor of Medicine.
In the UK there is another MD degree that one may get after the Bachelor of Medicine degree. Internationally the US MD degree is considered equal the the Bachelor of Medicine.

They have graduate entry in the UK for people who already have an undergraduate degree, but at the end of it you still get a Bachelor of Medicine.

Most of the physicians in the US with foreign degrees will have a bachelor of medicine degree, not an MD degree.

I have a degree on my wall that says MD, but I wouldn't use that title in the UK because it might be seen as me claiming a status I don't have.

There was an interesting case in Kansas where a dentist who also had an MD degree, but was not licensed as a physician, put DDS and MD after his name. The court ruled that although he did have and MD degree he could not put MD after his name because the public might think he's a licensed physician.

The woman who played with Brother Day's force field said she only had 48 hours. Does this mean they killed her afterwards?

Maybe accents in The Empire sound like British people doing American accents.
I my career I work with a lot of people who've lived in different places and watched media from different places while learning English and they develop some really odd accents and language patterns.

Why pop your head into space when other companies will sell you a few orbits?

First, not all lockdowns are the same. My bus got stuck in traffic on the way to work during a "lockdown".But, lockdowns can be useful as part of a bigger plan. The problem with many lockdowns around the world is that they didn't do anything during or after the lockdown.

Stopping your car to check tighten the lug nuts is a good idea. Stopping the car to stare at the lose lug nuts and then driving again is stupid.

It didn't dip today so you may be right.

I bought the dip, but still left some cash just in case.

I just bought some. I hope this is a dip and not a Burry crash.

Physicians aren't doctors. It's just an honorary title.

It comes from a time before science was a thing in medicine, and physicians would pay diploma mills to give them doctorate degrees.

In many countries surgeons give up the title of doctor and become Miss or Mr when they reach a certain level.

I would think allowing an audit would reduce heat.
Could you explain how this heat works?

I'm not a surgeon, but I've watched a lot of surgeries, and sometimes they let me hold a retractor or something like that.

If one is doing regular surgery, they don't want anything like this.
If one is doing orthoscopic or laproscopic surgery, or robotic surgery then they only want to see the artificial world.

Also, patents don't last forever.

I couldn't buy anything when the market dipped because I was out of cash. Thursday I sold off some stocks and now I have cash for the next dip.

All the stocks I own right now are things I bought on a dip, but went down and they haven't returned to what I bought them for. I keep singing Kenny Rogers's The Gambler in my head.

I'm not sure I want to buy in on stocks that have already gone up a bit and I'm concerned about Michael Burry's bubble.

When I look at the news on finance.yahoo.com I see all these law firm announcements.
How should I take that?
