Apparently a yiddish word for prostitute.

Would have been cool if they would have darted her.Bubbles said:For the batshit lady in the parking lot, not the titehs.

itburnswhenipee said:Hmm.... according to what I just read a prostitute is a koorvah. A nafka is just a slut.
I've never met people more dedicated to their job than most doctors, perhaps paramedics moreso, but from what I hear, yours are alot different than ours.itburnswhenipee said:Sounds like a reasonable reaction to me.

Fuck, a lymph node dissection. That just screams all types of complicated and difficult. Why did they want to do that?ChikkenNoodul said:This one hospital wanted to do an RPLND on me
Basically cut me open from the bottom of the breastbone to the groin, take all of my intestines and such out, and remove a bunch of lymph nodes behind all that.
Then try and put it all back in right.
Because the doctor hadn't done one yet I'd wager, that happens sometimes.Galen said:Fuck, a lymph node dissection. That just screams all types of complicated and difficult. Why did they want to do that?

Basically, you're in safe hands. Malpractice isn't common, especially not here.
Another reason why malpractice lawsuits/insurance should be eliminated.Galen said:I've never met people more dedicated to their job than most doctors, perhaps paramedics moreso, but from what I hear, yours are alot different than ours.

My 2nd opinion doctor, and my wife and I agreed that surveillance was a better option.
Some hospitals DO do them regularly for TC, and if I needed one I'd go to one of those not that quack.
Bubbles said:Nice. Talk to Sarcasmo about it as he is the one who dubbed me. Personally, I'd rather be a slut than a prostitute.

Does your insurance allow you to pick which hospital you want, which surgery etc? Here the consultant will suggest what you need and that's it, the hospital with the shortest waiting list is selected automatically, though some people can go to Germany for their treatment, this only happens if the waiting list is huge though.
I know how you feel. Do they really want a cure for cancer etc. I can vouch for the medical workers here at least that yes, they do want a cure for cancers. The majority of specialists here are dedicated to their jobs. The average chance of developing cancer in the UK is 1 in 3, and I will most likely get it in the near future, but I'm optimistic that better treatments will be found. I believe that if research scientists were as dedicated to their jobs as oncologists and haematologists, then that day isn't too far off.itburnswhenipee said:Call me a tinfoil hat wearing freak, but I no longer believe that the medical professions (drug companies included) are interested in curing things. They're incredibly interested in TREATING things, but not curing. You can't make money from a cured disease.
