Links

While I'm composing my next post (just wait!), have a couple of seasonal links:

Comic: How to dress on the Ides of March

Video: What if Moses was on Facebook?

And a bonus one:

Article: Auckland Hospital's own Dr House (though she's a lot less snarky)

Actually that one reminds me of one of my mother's friends (my favourite one) who was put in a mental home years ago because they thought her illness was psychological. A new young doctor there happened to have read about myasthenia gravis as a student and did the Edrophonium test on her; she could immediately raise her arms above her head. She's had to take drugs for the rest of her life and can't drive, but that doctor changed her life which is now normal and very happy.

Cool links, thanks! I'm going to have to rewatch the Moses Facebook one again, there's so much going on in it, you can't see it all on one viewing.

I know! I've seen it twice and still missed things.

The second time I *stopped it* whenever some goodies were zipping past and saw some great stuff. At just 4 seconds in one of the CNN articles is 'Possible Upcoming ban on straw' And there's the ad for 'Great Homes in Goshen' Goshen Realty, and 'Best Dressed: Cleopatra or Nefertiti'.

26 seconds in, Pharoah's Pizza Palace gets 2 star rating, Really greasy and the service is intolerable, good prices though'

at 35 Moses is 'Hanging out in Midian. Just met this great girl! Her dad is totally awesome too.' and Moses and Jethro are now friends. :^)

at 1:31 there's 'What's the deal with Pharaoh? That dude does not listen'
followed by 'Got Pharaoh to let us go! #EPICWIN!!

Yeah, I love that!

I rather wish our local hospital has someone as good for diagnosis.

I often think it's luck in getting the doctor who happens to know the relevant part of a huge subject. She sounds pretty good though.

Well I have now to go back to my GP as a consultant, who has never actually seen me, only read my notes, decided to alter the MRI the GP had booked to a CT scan.
In spite of the fact the last 3 scans came up showing nothing out of the ordinary!

Now you see why I'd prefer House. He might nearly kill me but at least he wouldn't do it by incompetence!

I dunno, some of his wild guesses seem that way to me. He has at least three goes before he hits the target.

I have to say I really miss the walk-ins and his deductions.
