But it does affect everyone else. Higher healthcare costs for those of us that pay. More taxpayer dollars spent on those that get free healthcare. I don't want the govt telling us what we can and can't do, but at some point they have a responsibility to protect those that are too dumb to protect themselves



Yes, because that government protection has made society so much safer and totally stopped dumb people from using drugs.

Or you steal from your family and neighbors bc your addiction has taken over your life. That doesn't affect anyone but the addict, right?

Since we are outlawing cigs might as well outlaw alcohol.





Another obvious choice.

Also, Coca Cola and other sodas. If sugary drinks were to be banned the obesity epidemic would be cut drastically within a year.


I honestly think there should be a warning on the side of a can like cigarettes. Liquid candy is all they are and should be treated as such

It's called self control people. If I want to indulge in a delicious soda or get drunk and smoke a few joes, why in the frick should the government tell me I can't?

I hate this line of thinking. The government should have Zero say what I did to my body. If I want to inject Krocodile into my eyeball I should be able


Do you think the companies that sell krokodil should be able to advertise how great it is and that injecting it into your eyeball is the best thing sliced bread?

Not that they should be illegal, but skateboards and hover boards are such a liability.

That's why we need government control.

My father in law apparently though that shite was benign.
He spread it all over the inside of his house. My wife freaked inward and we ended up playing hazmat.
That crap is damned near impossible to vacuum; the filter does nothing.

It's philosophically sound, but usually improperly assigned and/or executed.

And when black markets made possible by prohibition create violence, that doesn't hurt anyone, right? And when people have no way of knowing the potency of black market drugs, that doesn't create overdoses, right? And when heroin costs more to purchase than aspirin even though it shouldn't cost any more to manufacture because of the black market costs, that doesn't incentivize junkies to steal, right?

It wouldn't stop the real problem of eating too much. Especially, too much unhealthy shite. People just stuff themselves until they can't breathe instead of eating the right amount.

Client support is abysmal. The EHR is full of bugs (I've pointed out at least five actual bugs, not to be confused with annoyances or generally displeasurable features) in the last two weeks after an update was rolled out. Since the last update, they have failed to address/support/fix several existing bugs, at least one of which is a major safety concern (med recs print essentially random information rather than what was placed in them)

I've used several major EHR products. Most of them are, at worst, tolerable. I daresay I even liked Cerner and Epic's offerings. This, though, is very poor feature-wise, and the features that it does have are limited in function and don't particularly function well.

My favorite part: this most recent update was supposed to now give access to medical records and CPOE in the iPad app. It does now offer an option for these things. The result? An endless "loading" screen. Their response to our inquiry on how to make it function? Essentially that it doesn't work / work well and that it will be improved in the next update.
