    I’ve never heard of in my entire life a doctor failing to recognize a medical emergency. /s One of the things that people need to come to grips with is that like Wikipedia people w…

    What is this nonsense? You said that none of this was in production and then when people pointed out that it was obviously in production, you shifted the goal post to some other me…
