My doctor's elated '5 embryos!' had meant that the petri dish had delivered up 5 top-grade embryos. The team implanted 4. <br /><br />The medical personnel were cheery, competence, efficient, but without a lot of detailed communication. I've wondered -- was this part of the language barrier? But medical staff in the U.S. frequently are cheerful, efficient, competence and taciturn. They tell you little about what is going on, though they respond promptly to a question. Perhaps it was okay not to have long explanatory verbal sessions....? I had internet; after every doctor visit I could go home to google to learn about what had happened at that visit. Yes, the 4 implanted scared me a bit, but I blame myself for spending two hours researching number of embryos to transfer <b>after</b> the transfer, ha ha.HumanProjecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579380219478093167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-26850791379571399792009-11-17T08:41:34.424-05:002009-11-17T08:41:34.424-05:00I thought there were five implanted?I thought there were five implanted?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-7759276862321355712009-10-04T00:18:00.401-04:002009-10-04T00:18:00.401-04:00Dan, I don't understand your comment. You'...Dan, I don't understand your comment. You've been reading this blog a while (smile). I assume its obvious that I would embrace socialized medicine, were it possible. Indeed, I'm a socialist (according to H, I am a wretched reformist).<br /> <br />Regarding prenatal care in the U.S. Yes, I am facing a long wait (3.5 weeks) to get my first visit with a doctor. <br /> <br />I accept that health care needs to be rationed. Under socialized medicine, I accept that there will be waits of 3+ weeks, but these waits are the same as the current situation with America's outstanding supposedly best-in-the-world system. <br /> <br />The wikipedia article reports that with socialized medicine in Great Britain, "41 per cent of UK patients reported being able to get a same day appointment with their GP, with 13 per cent reporting having to wait 6 days or more (2004 data)." So maybe long-waits aren't inevitable with socialized medicine. <br /> <br />Questions for readers: Is there a doctor shortage in the U.S.? What's the solution?HumanProjecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579380219478093167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-58497327177466227822009-09-26T08:07:46.144-04:002009-09-26T08:07:46.144-04:00性欲を持て余し、欲求不満になっている女性を金銭の対価を得て、癒して差し上げるお仕事です。参加にあたり...性欲を持て余し、欲求不満になっている女性を金銭の対価を得て、癒して差し上げるお仕事です。参加にあたり用紙、学歴等は一切問いません。高額アルバイトに興味のある方はぜひどうぞ高額アルバイトhttp://www.socaltraveler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-80592478140623348592009-09-25T08:52:41.811-04:002009-09-25T08:52:41.811-04:00最近いい事ない人集合!話聞いて欲しいって時ないですか?やけに寂しいんですよね。私も聞くので私のも聞い...最近いい事ない人集合!話聞いて欲しいって時ないですか?やけに寂しいんですよね。私も聞くので私のも聞いてください。メアド乗せておくのでメールから始めましょうfull-of-hope@docomo.ne.jp公開プロフhttp://profile.hanikamiramurao.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-60771888837584417482009-09-24T10:48:28.326-04:002009-09-24T10:48:28.326-04:00さびしい女性や、欲求不満な素人女性たちを心も体も癒してあげるお仕事をご存じですか?女性宅やホテルに行...さびしい女性や、欲求不満な素人女性たちを心も体も癒してあげるお仕事をご存じですか?女性宅やホテルに行って依頼主の女性とHしてあげるだけで高額の謝礼を手に入れる事が出来るのです。興味のある方は当サイトTOPページをご覧ください素人http://www2.googlejuku-navi.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-4293201161515705272009-09-22T08:26:19.530-04:002009-09-22T08:26:19.530-04:00家出した少女たちは今晩泊る所がなく、家出掲示板で遊び相手を探しているようです。ご飯をおごってあげたり...家出した少女たちは今晩泊る所がなく、家出掲示板で遊び相手を探しているようです。ご飯をおごってあげたり、家に泊めてあげるだけで彼女たちは体でお礼をしてくれる娘が多いようです家出http://kf.ezqmuvt.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-83545922913634528802009-09-19T08:15:45.302-04:002009-09-19T08:15:45.302-04:00ゲイの数が飛躍的に増えている現代、彼らの出逢いの場は雑誌やハッテン場からネットに移り変わってきていま...ゲイの数が飛躍的に増えている現代、彼らの出逢いの場は雑誌やハッテン場からネットに移り変わってきています。当サイトは日本最大のゲイ男性の交流の場を目指して作られました。おかげさまで会員数も右肩上がりに伸びています。ゲイの方や興味のある方はぜひ当サイトをご覧ください。ゲイhttp://www.solutioncentr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-12711269207042811172009-09-18T09:41:07.853-04:002009-09-18T09:41:07.853-04:00携帯アドのせておきました。恥ずかしい写真とか乗せてるけど、許してください。ネット友達探してるのでよか...携帯アドのせておきました。恥ずかしい写真とか乗せてるけど、許してください。ネット友達探してるのでよかったら連絡ください。for-a-sweetheart@docomo.ne.jpプロフhttp://pf.goigoinavi.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-558281493560259402009-09-17T08:35:56.245-04:002009-09-17T08:35:56.245-04:00セレブラブでは心とカラダに癒しを求めるセレブ女性と会って頂ける男性を募集しています。セレブ女性が集ま...セレブラブでは心とカラダに癒しを求めるセレブ女性と会って頂ける男性を募集しています。セレブ女性が集まる当サイトではリッチな彼女たちからの謝礼を保証、安心して男性はお金、女性は体の欲求を満たしていただけます。興味がある方は当サイトトップページからぜひどうぞセレブhttp://kf.excitepoivision.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-66569368161346668122009-09-13T09:06:23.743-04:002009-09-13T09:06:23.743-04:00ネットで恋人探しなら、グリーをおすすめします。ここからあなたの理想の恋愛関係がはじまります。純粋な出...ネットで恋人探しなら、グリーをおすすめします。ここからあなたの理想の恋愛関係がはじまります。純粋な出会いから、割り切ったエッチな出会いまで何でもあります。ミクシーから女の子が大量流入中!ココだけの話、今が狙い目ですグリーhttp://www.blogbabygift.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-83259272454960675602009-09-12T16:51:57.294-04:002009-09-12T16:51:57.294-04:00OMG. next you're going to say you're in fa...OMG. next you're going to say you're in favor of SOCIALIST medicine!

There should be a lot of individual variation. I think I suspend disbelief so easily that I need breaks because otherwise the show is too real to me and I get overly emotionally involved, I can't treat it as just entertainment, or just a story. I relate to the characters in the story, not the actors; I want to know what else happened in that imaginary world, not how the actor prepared for his part.HumanProjecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579380219478093167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-28602305987912660022009-06-06T06:20:27.302-04:002009-06-06T06:20:27.302-04:00I think novels and the movies are about leaving th...I think novels and the movies are about leaving the scientific world and entering the artist's world. The form of the medium usually dictates one entry point (the beginning) and one optimal exit (the end). For movies, breaks in the suspension of disbelief, either for a bathroom break or for a full day, severely diminish the impact. Just like watching on a plane completely ruins the movie with the intrusion of too much "life" and the lower oxygen ratio in the air.<br /><br />There are of course exceptions, but these involve the long form of the medium (the Shackleton series, or the Earth DVDs).<br /><br />If you could get a measure of disengagement from the story, it would be interesting to see how much of a break causes a rupture in the suspension of disbelief. A bit like sleep research, where a 2 minute bathroom break doesn't interfere significantly with sleep patterns. Would this be similar? Is it indicative of some kind of decay timing for an established neuronal activation pattern to fall back into chaos?<br /><br />May I offer a compromise with H? Watch a 1-hour TV show instead. iTunes does a good job of stocking interesting diversions, although none Swedish. As far as skipping around in books, you're focusing on two components: you on information about the world that's woven into the story (in which case just read the Cliff Notes), and he on the artistry of the language and how that weaves the information into the final product.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01781132745363795745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882378175886697699.post-20310312311487390462009-05-23T08:46:06.783-04:002009-05-23T08:46:06.783-04:00OMG!
