IIED Revisited: Doctor could lose his license for calling patient fat.

This reminds me of that one case where a doctor was charged with the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress for calling a patient “a bad person”…

A North Carolina doctor could lose his medical license after a patient complained he made cutting criticisms, including telling her she was fat. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported the North Carolina Medical Board will decide if Dr. Earl Sunderhaus of Asheville overstepped the bounds of professional decency.

The eye doctor’s patient complained Sunderhaus poked her thigh and told her she is fat, and also scolded her as irresponsible for being unemployed and relying on taxpayers to pay for another pregnancy.

Sunderhaus admitted he told the patient that her thick thighs and diabetes could cause her to go blind.

He made his points again by writing the patient, Gov. Beverly Perdue and blasting the medical board.

I tried to bring the same claim but was rejected because the court called me “rough and tumble”. It hurt my feelings.

There goes my childhood dreams…

First Harry Potter, then Spider-Man?!

If you haven’t joined PETA yet, maybe this will convince you…

Some people like fishsticks and some people prefer raw sashimi fish. Dont you ever wish you could reach a happy medium? Now you can! Apparently, the outstanding people in China, the same ones that brought you all that cheap crap you own and the 2008 Olympics have figured out a brand new way to cook fish. They take it while alive and raw and openly fry half of the fish only.

Heres the link to a video. “Srsly” warning: The video might be a little disturbing to some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.

When its served up half of it is raw, half of it is fried.
Oh China, you think of the darnedest things.

I’ll leave this here just in case you need it. http://www.peta.org/

Well played: Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stoned?

I was gonna fight Voldemort, until I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom, But then I got high
My friends sister is still messed up And I know why, (why man) ‘cuz I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high

Apparently the Harry Potter was found smoking “spliffs” (british jargon for mary jane?) in his Camden up-town upstairs flat (british jargon for apartment?) with his friends. Apparently in the true fashion of another British great Amy Winehouse, he was at  a party when he was spotted smoking and going around saying how much he loved the ganja. Say it ain’t so, Harry! Say it aint so!

Maybe hogwarts isn’t real after all. Maybe it was just some half-baked trip.
Whatever, its still not like that romantic love story where the that plain jane girl falls in love with flying vampires. Right? That was real and totally had nothing to do with weed.
