  • Talk about jumping 4 steps down the road.

    They are uniformed. No global convention or agreement mandates those elements be on a uniform. The nametag, unit patch, and other items on the uniform are just ways that force happens to enhance identification within the unit.

    They are identified as uniformed members of a military force. This satisfies the convention.

    None of this matters or applies at all given that there is no combat occurring that would fall under the Geneva convention. So they could be plain clothes officers and it wouldn’t apply.

    Trump is a sack of dog turds, and what he is doing is largely stupid speed run overreach, but this hyperbolic shit just harms credibility of the already massive list of shit he is violating.



  • I went for surgery that was to repair a urethral stricture, with the expressly stated reason for doing it as being able to be catheterized in a future spinal fusion procedure. I told every single member of my care team this information, and all knew about the spine instability. A Spondylolisthesis diagnosed by their same hospital system.

    I woke up in agony screaming before I could see. They put me in a position that allowed my back instability to shift. I was screaming to drop the bed. The nurse told me to calm down.

    When I was finally laid flat, I noted I could not feel my genitals and I could not feel about half of my legs or any of my feet. Totally numb.

    I was discharged from the hospital 3 days later with a walker because I couldn’t feel my feet and needed assistance to walk for a proc sure that never should have required it.

    They billed me $250 for the walker, and never followed my requests to ascertain why I was paying for a walker that was the resulting need of malpractice. This was sent to collections.

    I get phone calls weekly about a walker I should never have needed, and should not have been billed for as “outside of network” because it was not pre-approved for an urology procedure.

    Who in the fuck assumed a loss of leg function from an urology surgery? Who gets that pre-approved?

    Fucking cunts.
