Why didn't they take better care of him? The doctor said he was going into multiple-system organ failure, yet she did nothing to correct that. Put him on a ventilator or even ECMO and pump him full of vasopressors and blood products while resting his kidneys with dialysis. It is possible to reverse if treated quickly and efficiently. She just waited until he arrested and then pretended that CPR might bring him back after all his organs were fried.

Why didn't they just hold a fundraiser? Once they had come up with the $150K, Tommy could get the experimental treatment as a private pay patient. Oh, and an experimental treatment can't claim it has a 97% success rate. It can only say that the results so far have been very successful. If the treatment had been around long enough to have that many long term survivors, it would have already had FDA approval and been promoted to the standard treatment.

If he ever starts shipping them to customers, I figure I can pick one up at the Goodwill roughly a year later at a very heavily discounted price. Then I only have to pay for the seeded growing blocks. -
She never should have made it to the hospital. With a pulmonary embolism that is extensive enough to send you into a full cardiac arrest, a couple of minutes of CPR is not going to bring you back.

Still, I didn't need to see the way he filled out his tighty whities. Tom Cruise didn't have that problem.

4% of the US is vegan, and they already have many alternatives at a sushi restaurant. If I didn't want to eat raw fish, I wouldn't want to eat fake raw fish, either. I just don't see this as being attractive to customers. Maybe selling it to people for home use would be the better way to go since it doesn't spoil as quickly as real fish. I just can't think of any other major selling point. Still, I wonder what it would do to the product if you tried to cook it. Again, that might be a selling point if it really gave you the idea that you were eating tuna or salmon, but it stayed stable longer and didn't taste like fish that had been frozen (a pet peeve for someone who grew up in the Pacific Northwest). -

There are thongs for men if they want to show off their cheeks; however, I have yet to see one at any pool or beach anywhere in the world. Furthermore, I can see showing off your ass crack quickly being banned by any place that is occupied by children or wants to think of itself as couth. All I can see it producing is more restrictions as to what you can wear in public. I'm a little surprised that they didn't say an added benefit was the ability to take a dump without removing your suit, as if someone would also consider that to be a benefit. -
How is it that he contaminated the formula with mold, yet no other children were even sickened, let alone died, as the result of the contamination? Was his cast moldy when it was removed? I'm having trouble grasping how holding a pipe for 2 or 3 minutes while wearing a cast could have caused a contamination that only produced one plaintiff.

Remember old ladies are invisible? Matty told us that in the first episode, and she in never wrong. The writers wouldn't violate that and have Olympia suddenly remember her, especially because of how self-centered Olympia is supposed to be.

So far, they haven't shown us this side of the dilemma, and if they don't somewhere in the story, I'm going to be plenty ticked off. Yes, her daughter may have chosen some other even less safe method of getting high. Yes, big pharma makes the drugs, but does that really make them responsible for everyone who gets addicted? Yes, shutting down a pharmaceutical company can interfere with non-addicts getting drugs that they need including opioids. They seem to be on the high horse of "no one but patients with terminal illnesses should be allowed to have pain meds." As a chronic pain patient, I totally resent that. Not everyone with pain uses his meds irresponsibly. We should not be banned from getting relief from our pain just because of the people who have been irresponsible.

Yes, but it is a late sign once the lump has become very large. It depends on the facility. The free standing privately run for-profit facilities usually don't have full schedules and will take people the same day without a doctor's referral. Most likely, she would have been told it was "possibly" cancer and not been given a definitive diagnosis until she had further testing, but yes with large lumps that are already late-stage cancer, it is possible to tell from just the mammo.

More likely, she'll squeak through it with one of her made up stories that nobody fact checks.

because she's a totally obnoxious self-serving bitch This is starting to be reminiscent of The Cleaning Lady who I loathed from the start of her series and finally threw in the towel and decided not to watch anymore. She is also a totally obnoxious self-serving bitch who thinks nothing of committing multiple felonies and even more misdemeanors on the pretense of "I may be doing the wrong thing, but I'm doing it for the right reason." For some reason TPTB think that we will sympathize with that, which couldn't have been farther from the truth for me. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to tolerate Madeline Matlock/Kingston and her indiscretions, either.

I thought she was practicing under her maiden name, but now I don't remember where I got that impression.
