It seems this flows from the idea of "illness labels", where all we're doing is slapping a label on ourselves to justify moping around and being...
Beyond parody. This obsession with "labels" is really weird. They invent a framing and insist it came from us, then use our insistence that it's...
Kinda shows that, despite advances, we are still barely one step away from the dark ages in our medical knowledge, that we still have to rely on...
Meh. Identity is bull. It's loss of function that is significant. Identity comes largely as a result of function: what we do becomes who we are....
I also have a irregular heartbeat. Or anyway I'm not sure if it's the right term but I regularly skip beats. Beat-beat-skiiip-beatbeat-beat-beat...
Wouldn't the opposite be really surprising? What kind of idiot expects very sick people to be worry-free and happy? Especially as they lose much...

Uh. No kidding. Not the cover, though: http://content.time.com/time/magazine/0,9263,7601700126,00.html. Behavior: Mass Hysteria:...
I sent this, in case it inspires anyone:
Up with the Marines! We are so pleased that Congressman Jack Bergman (R, MI-1), a former Marine general, has become a champion for people with...
Shies away from debate almost immediately and censors all comments on the actual post. Good job, hue manatees!
So... expansion is happening without the planned assessment of its efficacy? There was a preliminary assessment a few months ago that showed the...
Both of which seem to have a possible cause in latent infectious agents, possibly enteroviruses, and amyloid plaques being a protective response...

Separate names with a comma.
