The divide

The poor die from sicknesses that they shouldn't be dealing with because they're treatable but not affordable to them, or because of the community they live in make them susceptible to illnesses that the fat rich rarely deal with.

The rich die from stuffing their faces with $5/300 kcalorie starbucks and diabetes gets the better of them.  But of course not until they've spent all of their money paying for all of their anti-diabetics, anti-hypertensives, and unused monthly gym dues.

The poor need help period.  The rich just need to help themselves.

FAS

I turned the corner of a street while walking somewhere today and saw a young girl.  And my first thought 0.5 seconds after seeing her face was "Fetal Alcohol Syndrome"...

I knew I had gone too far...in my studies for my pediatrics exam

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get"

Actually, mothertrucker, if you get a box of chocolates and you bought it from a reputable source, there's 100% chance that you're going to get chocolate of some variety.  I understand white chocolate might be in the box and technically that isn't real chocolate, but we'll let technicalities go.  In real life, just expect to be shit (chocolate?) on 100% of the time and you will never be disappointed, and you will be correct in about 80% of situations.

The Alex Lee RSV laws of Pediatrics

All patients admitted into inpatient pediatrics will have RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus)
  1. If the patient is admitted with RSV, they will obviously have RSV
  2. If the patient is admitted without RSV, they will get RSV during their stay because...
    1. You (or any human) will pick up RSV from one of the patients from 1. and give it to the RSV(-) patient
