This is not a perfect study by any means but this was just done, it's known as the FIRST trial[1] and it looked at flexible vs standard surgical residency work hour restrictions. The conclusions were that work hour restrictions did not

This would also raise prices on gas and petroleum products (such as lubricants, cosmetics, plastics) on Americans which probably isn't a good idea given the current state of affairs for the low and middle classes.

Clinically, Aspirin is not prescribed to those under 19. While the link has not been proven, often in medicine it is best to err on the side of caution when safe(r) alternatives like ibuprofen and acetaminophen are available (I understand a

Spoken like a pragmatist and not a scientist. Your argument is the equivalent of arguing no one should bother with low level programming knowledge or understanding how functions work in Ruby/Python/etc. You're also talking li

As a Canadian in the healthcare field perhaps I can chime in as well. When you talk about Canadian healthcare, it is a provincially run program (not federal) so let's talk about it at the provincial level. As I am an Ontario resident I

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.. Most over 30 who want to show off their wealth actually do wear a watch, an expensive one at that. I don't know where you get this bs notion that NOT wearing a watch is a sign of wealth. Yo

IANAL but if you read the EULA: The service/software may not be used for commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating activities. While EULA do not always hold up in court I can't see a reason why this wouldn't

Microsoft has $77 billion in cash reserves[0]. I assume this is pre-Nokia purchase but that doesn't change the fact that they could have done the same thing if they wanted to - they just didn't. It wouldn't make sense either

I think this ignores the fact that used car sales are one of (if not the) largest revenue source for dealerships. With current interest rates a lease would probably end up bringing in less revenue than a sale, new cars move at low prices be

Sorry but you're incorrect. Your assumption of the complication being death is exaggerated, the surgery in question here is not that serious. Even if it were death someone would have to model the adverse effects of the increased waitin

You make valid points, perhaps there should be a boolean for whether professionalism is desired or not. Personally I prefer professionalism at the very least in the job posting, I don't particularly care if it's laid back and neit
