Voting Question: Thinking of applying to medical school with a masters of social work?
I just finished my masters of social work and I really want to apply for medical school. I have had many clinical rotations at the VA hospital and Children’s Hospital in my city and I really loved all the work the doctors are involved in. Its all so interesting. I need to complete 5 prereqs before I take the MCAT though. Do you think its worth it ? Do you think having a masters degree in a helping profession like social work will aid my application? —> I also had volunteer work in a pediatricians office and in a pathology department in high school. I love kids and I think I would be suited for pediatrics. What do you guys think? Confused in Oklahoma! !

Resolved Question: FAA - Special Issuance - Initial Time Frame?
I had a FAA AME exame in Mid June, and have a couple of conditions that required my paperwork to go to Oklahoma City FAA for evaluation. I called and they said my files had been scanned in on June 30th, and were currently in review by the staff physician. It has had this same status for nearly 3 weeks. What kind of time frame am I looking at here? I am a healthcare professional, and supplied them with every possible status report, lab report, and medical record on the conditions that I have (both of which are not disqualifying, but require the initial decision to be made by the main FAA office in Oklahoma City).

Voting Question: Where is a bariatric weight loss clinic in or around St Louis?
I’ve looked everywhere and the only bariatric offices in St Louis are ones for surgury proceedures. What I’m looking for is a Dr. who will prescribe me wight loss pills (preferably from their own pharmacy) and I will see them once a month, he will tell me how I’m doing, recommend eating tips, exercise ect ect.

I’ve seriously looked everywhere and called just about everyone…The closest places I’ve found are in Chicago or Oklahoma City…6 hours away! I just find it very hard to believe that there is not one doctors office in a 3-hr radius of the St Louis Metro area that fits what I’m looking for. So please, if anyone knows of a Doctor’s office like what I’m looking for please let me know. Thank you.
WHY does it say I have 5 answers but I only can see one??

Resolved Question: D’you Like these? ((sorry, the other one got cut off))?
A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor’s office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it.
“Impossible!” says the doctor. “Show me.”
The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left shoulder and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She pushed her knee and screamed; likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made her scream.
The doctor said, “You’re not really a redhead, are you?
“Well, no” she said, “I’m actually a blonde.”
“I thought so,” the doctor said. “Your finger is broken.”

3 construction guys were working on a skyscraper, up on the 40th floor.
At lunch, the bald guy said “Every day my wife packs me a tuna sandwich. If there’s tuna again today, I’m gonna jump off this building!”. He checks it & sure enough it’s tuna again so old baldy jumps.
The redhead then says “Every day I get a cheese sandwich for lunch from my wife. If it’s cheese again today then I’m jumping off here, too!”. Sure enough, it’s cheese so the redheaded guy jumps off.
Then the blond guy says “I always get a jelly sandwich. If it’s jelly again then I’m jumping, too!”. He checks & it’s jelly so he jumps.
At the memorial service for the 3 guys, their wives are talking about this.
Both the bald guy’s wife & the redhead’s wife said the same thing, “I don’t understand why my husband jumped. If I had know he wanted something else to eat for lunch, I’d have gave it to him.”.
Then the blond man’s wife says ” I don’t understand why my husband jumped. He always made his own lunch.”.

A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day. The Russian said, “We were the first in space!”
The American said, “We were the first on the moon!”
The Blonde said, “So what? We’re going to be the first on the sun!”
The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their heads. “You can’t land on the sun, you idiot! You’ll burn up!” said the Russian.
To which the Blonde replied, “We’re not stupid, you know. We’re going at night!”

A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer, who was also blonde. The blonde cop asked to see the blonde drivers license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated. “What does it look like?” she finally asked
The police woman replied “It’s square and it has your picture on it.” The driver finially found a square mirror in her purse , looked at it and handed it tothe policewoman. “Here it is ” she said.

The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying “Okay, you can go. I didn’t realize you were a cop.”

Two blondes living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking……. and one blonde says to the other, “Which do you think is farther away… Florida or the moon?”
The other blonde turns and says “Helloooooooooo, can you see Florida ?????”

A blonde was bragging about her knowledge of state capitals. She proudly says, “Go ahead, ask me, I know all them.” A friend says, “OK, what’s the capital of Wisconsin?” The blonde replies, “Oh, that’s easy: W.”

A blonde went to electronics store and she asked, “How is much is this TV?” The salesman said, “Sorry, we don’t sell to blondes.”
The next day she came back as a brunette. She asked the salesman how much the TV was. He said, “Sorry, we don’t sell to blondes.”
The next day she came back as a red head and asked the salesman how much the TV was. He said, “Sorry we don’t sell to blondes.”
She replied, ” I came in here as a brunette and a red head. How do you know I am a blonde?”
“Because that is not a TV, it’s a microwave

A blonde calls Delta Airlines and asks, “Can you tell me how long it’ll take to fly from San Francisco to New York City?” The agent replies, “Just a minute…” “Thank you,” the blonde says, and hangs up.

Three blondes walk into a bar and ask the bartender for three shots of tequila. He looks at them and says “OK” and pours their shots. They all clink glasses and yell “51 days!” Then they proceed to slam the shots, looking very self-satisfied. They look back to the bartender and decide to order another round. This time they pick up the glasses again and, more gleefully yell “Only 51 days!” The bartender finally can’t stand wondering what they are talking about and asks them what they mean by Only 51 days. One of the blondes looks at him and says “Well,” looking very smug. “We just finished a jigsaw puzzle. It took us Only 51 Days . . . . . and on the box it said 4-7 years”

Julie the blonde was getting pretty desperate for money. She decided to go to the nicer, richer neighborhoods around town and look for odd jobs as a handywoman. The first house she came to, a man answered the door and told Julie, “Yeah, I have a job for ya. How would you like to paint the porch?” “Sure that sounds great!” said Julie. “Well, uh, how much do you want?” asked the man. “Is fifty bucks OK?” Julie asked. “Yeah t

Resolved Question: Will Oklahoma and Arizona be able to stop a Federal Health Care tyranny with state laws that override Obama?
Mike Ritze reports today at RightSideNews:

OKLAHOMA CITY - The voters of Oklahoma will have the opportunity to preserve the existing health care system in Oklahoma under legislation sought by three state legislators.

State Reps. Mike Ritze and Mike Reynolds and state Sen. Randy Brogdon announced today that they will file legislation enacting the “Freedom of Healthcare Choice Act,” allowing voters to preserve the existing healthcare system in Oklahoma regardless of congressional action at the federal level.

The legislation will allow a vote of the people to opt out of the proposed federal system.

“It’s clear the overwhelming majority of Americans want the current doctor-patient relationship preserved instead of having Washington bureaucrats dictate medical decisions,” said Ritze, a Broken Arrow Republican who is also a board-certified family practice physician and surgeon. “The proposals under consideration in Congress are likely to result in reduced access to a family doctor, rationing of services, or even outright denial of care if a pencil-pusher decides it is not a ‘best practice.’ My legislation would give the voters the ability to protect and preserve their existing health care coverage.”

“The United States’ health care system is the envy of the world and the people of Oklahoma should have the opportunity to maintain the top-notch care they have received while also avoiding the onerous burdens the proposed federal law would impose on working families,” said Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City.

“The proposed legislation in Washington is a massive overstepping of the bounds placed on Congress by our U.S. Constitution,” said Brogdon, R-Owasso. “It is time that we the people tell Congress enough is enough - and now Oklahomans will have the opportunity to do so.”

Modeled on an Arizona proposal, Ritze and Reynolds’ legislation would place language on the ballot to amend the Oklahoma Constitution to declare what types of health care systems could lawfully exist in the state.

The proposed constitutional amendment would

Prohibit any law or rule from directly or indirectly compelling any person or employer to participate in any health care system; Allow any person or employer to pay directly for lawful health care services without paying any penalties or fines; Permit a health care provider to provide directly purchased lawful health services without paying any penalties or fines; and Stipulate that subject to reasonable and necessary rules that do not substantially limit a person’s options, the purchase or sale of private health insurance will not be prohibited. The amendment would not change what health care services a provider is required to perform or what health care services are permitted by law.

“This is an issue that could have serious consequences for all citizens and it is only right to allow voters a direct role in the outcome of this debate,” Ritze said.

“I was not surprised that the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate kept the specific language of their bill from the public and most of their members,” Reynolds said. “In comparison, the language of our “Freedom of Healthcare Choice Act” will be fully disclosed as soon as it is filed, probably later this afternoon. We welcome any discussion.

The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying “Okay, you can go. I didn’t realize you were a cop.”

Resolved Question: So, what (if any) emotion does this evoke in you?
yes, us people are just poems
we’re 90% metaphor, with a leanness of meaning
approaching hyper-distillation
and once upon a time
we were moonshine, rushing down the throat of a giraffe
yes, rushing down the long hallway
despite what the p.a. announcement says
yes, rushing down the long stairs
with the whiskey of eternity, fermented and distilled
burning down our throats
down the hall
down the stairs
in a building so tall, that it will always be there
yes, it’s part of a pair there on the bow of noah’s ark
the most prestigious couple
just kickin back parked
against a perfectly blue sky
on a morning beatific in its indian summer breeze
on the day that america
fell to its knees, after strutting around for a century
without saying thank you
or please
and the shock was subsonic, and the smoke was deafening
between the setup and the punch line
cuz we were all on time for work that day
we all boarded that plane for to fly
and then while the fires were raging
we all climbed up on the windowsill
and then we all held hands
and jumped into the sky
and every borough looked up when it heard the first blast
and then every dumb action movie was summarily surpassed
and the exodus uptown by foot and motorcar
looked more like war than anything i’ve seen so far
so fierce and ingenious
a poetic specter so far gone
that every jackass newscaster was struck dumb and stumbling
over ‘oh my god’ and ‘this is unbelievable’ and on and on
and i’ll tell you what, while we’re at it
you can keep the pentagon, keep the propaganda
keep each and every tv, that’s been trying to convince me
to participate
in some prep school punk’s plan to perpetuate retribution
even as the blue toxic smoke of our lesson in retribution
is still hanging in the air
and there’s ash on our shoes
and there’s ash in our hair
and there’s a fine silt on every mantle
from hell’s kitchen to brooklyn
and the streets are full of stories, sudden twists and near misses
and soon every open bar is crammed to the rafters
with tales of narrowly averted disasters
and the whiskey is flowin
like never before
as all over the country
folks just shake their heads, and pour

so here’s a toast to all the folks who live in palestine
afghanistan
iraq

el salvador

here’s a toast to the folks living on the pine ridge reservation
under the stone cold gaze of mt. rushmore

here’s a toast to all those nurses and doctors
who daily provide women with a choice
who stand down a threat the size of oklahoma city
just to listen to a young woman’s voice

here’s a toast to all the folks on death row right now
awaiting the executioner’s guillotine
who are shackled there with dread and can only escape into their heads
to find peace in the form of a dream

cuz take away our playstations
and we are a third world nation
under the thumb of some blue blood royal son
who stole the oval office and that phony election
i mean
it don’t take a weatherman
to look around and see the weather
jeb said he’d deliver florida, folks
and boy did he ever

and we hold these truths to be self evident:
#1 george w. bush is not president
#2 america is not a true democracy
#3 the media is not fooling me
cuz i am a poem heeding hyper-distillation
i’ve got no room for a lie so verbose
i’m looking out over my whole human family
and i’m raising my glass in a toast

here’s to our last drink of fossil fuels
let us vow to get off of this sauce
shoo away the swarms of commuter planes
and find that train ticket we lost
cuz once upon a time the line followed the river
and peeked into all the backyards, and the laundry was waving
the graffiti was teasing us
from brick walls and bridges
we were rolling over ridges ,through valleys
under stars
i dream of touring like duke ellington
in my own railroad car
i dream of waiting on the tall blonde wooden benches, in a grand station aglow with grace
and then standing out on the platform
and feeling the air on my face
give back the night its distant whistle
give the darkness back its soul
give the big oil companies the finger finally
and relearn how to rock-n-roll
yes, the lessons are all around us and a change is waiting there
so it’s time to pick through the rubble, clean the streets
and clear the air
get our government to pull its big dick out of the sand
of someone else’s desert
put it back in its pants, and quit the hypocritical chants of
freedom forever : )
