Congratulations to Matt and Kay!!!

You know, another medical pet-peeve of mine: patients have a few simple rights, one of which is to the truth about their disease and the situation surrounding it, and that’s why this article on doctors lying to terminally-ill patients is very unsettling to me. You know that whole do-unto-others thing? If I’m gonna die, I want to know that, so that I can do all those things I have to do to be at peace with that fact.

I figured that after this, people would learn not to stick their hands in the cages of deadly animals… but nope, not true.

The Shuttle successfully docked with the International Space Station yesterday. Now comes a 6 1/2 hour spacewalk, lots of maintenance, and a lot of bitching that the Russian module wasn’t ready to install yet.
