There was a doctor on Oprah that said the average person passes gas about 15 times per day, so the odds are pretty good that kids are going to have to fart in class sometime. Geez, poor kids. Like it's not embarrassing enough to fart or burp in class, now they can get in trouble for it!!?? That's messed up!

a little outrageous..
i know a woman from our county who stole over $300,000 from the county & it took them 3 stinking years to even lock her up.. and she will probably be out in 3..geez..

What is the MOST outrageous thing you've seen/heard while working in the medical field?
While working in an oncology office I had a heartbreaking conversation with a newly-widowed young mother of 2. Apparently healthy husband suddenly turned up with a brain tumor, which killed him pretty quickly. The life insurance company did their due diligence and investigated the case, since the policy was issued only weeks before the diagnosis; but the patient had NO indications of illness at the time, and the medical records basically proved the negative; he hadn't been to a doctor because he wasn't sick.

In the course of discussing the point with the claims examiner, the widow told him it wasn't about the money (although she was going to need it to raise her 2 kids by herself). She'd FAR rather have her husband back. The claims examiner said he'd far rather have the woman's husband back too...

... wait for it ...

... because if he were still alive, he'd still be paying premiums to the insurance company!

Yes, it really happened.

I suggested the widow contact the state insurance commissioner's office and report the guy. Even if what he said/did was not precisely illegal, it was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
