Look, man.

You precipitated in a research study, had very improbable and unlikely side effects, and were treated. Maybe you didn't really like the bedside manner of your nurses/doctors, maybe you're upset that they didn't take your word that something was worse than the expected outcome.

Don't nail these people to the wall, though. You were treated, and I assume your prognosis is full recovery? People want to yell and scream and shout and "stick it to the man" when something bad happens, but you'd be a much better PERSON to just work with them and understand that your case was very very unusual, and they handled it well.

If you do decide to try and get them shut down you'll be preventing this study from moving forward, stopping medical research. The study shouldn't halt because you had an extremely rare reaction (which could even be a sign that you have further health issues, and this could even help you identify them). If you try to get their "licenses revoked" you'll do nothing more than ruin the careers of some (probably) pretty good medical practitioners.

Your attitude, the way you're responding to this, is exactly why doctors are so afraid to treat people these days. It's why medical research is so slow and often times doesn't happen when it should. Please don't feed into that cycle, be a better person than that.

Can you elaborate on and/or provide sources to back up your claim about this assassination list? I don't doubt things like this exist at all, mind you, but I would like to see some kind of proof to that statement if you can provide it.

I love deaf people and deaf culture, but it's fucking stupid to say it's not a disability.

You literally lack one of the two most important senses.

It's important to be supportive and recognize that people can live healthy, full lives and be deaf, but it's a disability.

Thanks for the great AMAs! I'm a fan of buying quality products that will last, and there's not much good common knowledge regarding vacuums, at least not in the gangsta crews I roll in.

You suggest it's best to go to am actual vacuum retailer vs a big box store. How can I tell if I'm getting a good price, or not being pushed to a vacuum that doesn't suit my needs but might turn a great profit for the business?

If that's your belief you're going to live a very empty life of a pompous asshole doctor who's good at their job but only a placeholder of a human. I hope you grow up soon.
