#12I think I spend all damn day whinging (mostly in my head) about problems that nobody else will fix for me.

When you need to see a specialist, you are given a referral. People in the health care industry know that many of the specialists are untalented losers who push patients in and out as quickly as possible, and would never let someone cl…

People here don't know who you are, Mongoose. Why don't you put a link to "Rules for my unborn son" in your profile? Amazing site.

I've been there many times and the ideas just aren't good. Seriously, a "jump to conclusions mat?" It was funny the first time i heard it, but to be the number one item on the site this long makes it look like a farce.
