When her busy career was brought to a hard stop by a redundancy letter, Sheila FitzPatrick need a job in a hurry. All of her research pointed her to S.Robson Walton, a pioneer of employee exploitation at A Mall Near You. Now Sheila is back at work after a fashion. "I don't worry," she says. "Because I stay high all the time."
Idleness/lack of Internet access as proxy for death: discuss.
"Professionalism is a machismo con", as you know by now, Nosflow. The point is that UCSF Med doesn't provide surgery for the weak and infirm, but for the tough and successful. It is a hospital a person of strength and means who happens to be temporarily discomfited by his body might choose to attend for treatment, not someone who is already personally and financially an invalid.
My busy career is currently slowed because I can't get somebody from UCSF to answer their email.
The URL in the ad is offputting as well. For people who have the leisure and money to get "top-ranked" care and people who want their care to be "creative" and "taking risks". Of course there are those who have rare or hard-to-treat disorders, but what a whiff of conspicuous consumption.

When his busy career was brought to a hard stop by tuberculosis, Hans Castorp needed a trip to a mountain sanatorium. All of his research pointed him to the Berghof, a pioneer of symbol-laden recovery in the Swiss Alps. Now Castorp is serving in the army after his restorative stay. "Die kalten Winde bliesen mir grad ins Angesicht", he says, "aber ich wendete mich nicht."
My busy career may be slowed by a broken hand. X-ray verdict still pending!
Oh no! Hope it turns out to be not-broken.
It turns out to be broken. But you could hope it turns out not to need a pin.
Yeah, I saw your post at the other place. I will redirect my hope as advised.
There was a faculty member whose career was brought to a sudden halt by a brain aneurysm. No one outright said it, but I have a feeling the loss of career productivity was possibly one of the more upsetting parts for our department.
I will redirect my hope as advised.
"This is a lighthouse, please redirect your hope."
Anyway, DK, hope you heal well and relatively painlessly.
I just read an article about how diamond rings are a terrible way to express love because they're neither fungible nor liquid and depreciate 50% upon leaving the store, in other news of missing the point with gusto.
WTF. Every single one of the patients on the right hand side of that website is White.
15: nevertheless, they are pretty stupid, and are a scam.
Neb, are you still into jewelry? I miss those old posts.
Of course! But I actually don't recall having posted about it.
Yeah, comments, sorry. I thought there was a post at some point, but no way do I want to wage war against the hoohole at bedtime. I just remember being charmed and wishing I'd had more money for interesting jewelry when in Turkey. But now you've seen all the jewelry I wear and presumably know it's just a theoretical interest.
