Heartbreaking.

My MIL is treating a tumor in her kidney with supplements and the equivalent of a magic wand. At least she is an adult harming herself.

This case reminds me of an infant that died in CC. The baby was sick, so the cracker jack MD(he was an OB prior to the crazies), told the mom that if she took antibiotics, the baby would get it through her breast milk They were relieved that they wouldn't have to harm their child with those toxins(but it was ok for the mom?) So I am in the ER with another patient when the ED doc asked me to help with a code on this 2 month old. After the unsuccessful code was over, the family was in tears and emotional. They kept saying "well it was God's will", multiple people over and over. It was all I could do to scream at them that God didn't take their baby, it was their own stupidity and arrogance. I won't forget that day as long as I live.

I wish people like that could be charged criminally.

The stuff from Nevada was unresolved. He still owes all those grazing fees and has failed to show up for court multiple times. He was obviously emboldened after that standoff but the feds didn't forget about it.

Back when I was doing CPS, I was sent to check on a 12 year-old kid who had been found to have a tumor in his arm at Primary Childrens. They scheduled surgery to remove it, and the parents freaked and didn't show. Then they wouldn't return calls when the hospital/doctors called to follow up.

The kid didn't want to lose his hair to radiation or chemo, so the mom was treating him by smearing castor oil on his arm and then wrapping it with cling wrap.

I was involved because the doctor had reported medical neglect.

I felt bad for the kid. It was an aggressive cancer, so I understand why the doctors wanted to move quickly. But the kid went from having a sore arm that he was getting checked out to scheduled for surgery to probably have it amputated a day later. I can kind of understand someone needing to process what was going on.

What a couple of stupid hippies.

Even the damn hippy Bernie Sanders believes in immunizations:

Sanders is also a longtime supporter of alternative medicine, despite the strong body of evidence that shows these treatments aren’t more effective than conventional medicine. In the past, Sanders has worked to include alternative medical treatments like chiropractic visits in health care for veterans. On several occasions, he has praised alternative medical treatments like Chinese medicine and other non-pharmaceutical options that simply don’t hold up to scientific scrutiny. On the other hand, he isn’t the only presidential contender to praise alternative medicine. Clinton has also praised integrative medicine and the Clinton family is closely connected to Dr. Mark Hyman, a longtime purveyor of pseudoscience. At least, unlike many other Vermont residents, Sanders does support childhood immunizations and has spoken out about the importance of protecting immunocompromised kids. Thankfully, that’s one aspect of anti-science hippie culture that Sanders wholeheartedly rejects.

Can't decide whether this fine Elder is lucky or not.

Mason Wells, 19, was injured in the bombing at the Brussels airport along with two other American Mormon missionaries who had gone to help check in other missionaries who were traveling to the U.S.

Wells suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, shrapnel injures, as well as second- and third-degree burns on his face and hands after the bombing, his father Chad Wells told ABC News.

The teen missionary had previously been impacted by other terror attacks in Paris and Boston.

“This is his third terrorist attack," Chad Wells said, noting he was with his son just a block from the Boston Marathon bombing.

Jeremy Johnson was convicted on 8 counts out of something like 80 counts. I'm not sure what that means with prison time.

8 counts of Making False Statements to a Bank. The news says they carry a maximum of 30 years, but that it's unlikely he'll see that kind of time, of course.

Federal grand jury indictments issued yesterday again the Cliven, his sons, and two others.

Belated swish! It's the easiest bucket I've ever hit here. It was so predictable all these rednecks would wind up dead or in a federal pen. Lebowski didn't believe it. This whole story got way more attention than it deserved.

[SeattleUte]

Why don't you guys ever post positive stuff here about Mormons? Like that wonderful, courageous missionary from Alpine who survived the Belgian suicide bombers?

As with most of your swishes, you are manufacturing past insight on dubious grounds.

That is a great story. He won some praise from a catholic cardinal.
