I'm losing my patience with these political commentators explaining that impeachment is one of the tools Congress has in dealing with a rogue president. Tools? F that, it's their constitutional duty. They must impeach a rogue president.

I taught US history and government for many years and was always careful not to include a current president in any discussion of presidential rankings. We need time for evaluation and perspective, I'd say. But the past year and a half have been too stark to ignore. Worst. President. Ever.

In case you weren't aware, One Nation's health 'policy' is just 65 words (lol) with no costings and a vague promise to increase numbers of health professionals in the regions. How they plan to do that when they seem to want to stop immigration is beyond me 🤷‍♀️

Surgeries Performed in Professional Australian Cricketers 2015–2024 - Indian Journal of Orthopaedics

Aim A study describing the distribution and rate of surgical operations performed in professional Australian cricketers, both male and female, over a decade. Methods Cricket Australia Athlete Management System was searched for consultations including terms that might reference whether surgery had been performed. Surgeries were any procedure performed in a hospital or day care facility, including non-orthopaedic surgeries. Results There were 3419 player years studied between 2015 and 2024, yielding 447 surgeries, a rate of 13.1 surgeries per 100 player years, the majority of which were musculoskeletal (orthopaedic) procedures. The most common procedures were: knee arthroscopy (1.61/100 player years), wrist hand/finger fracture fixations (1.52), shoulder reconstruction (0.91), ankle posterior impingement procedures (0.44) and knee ACL reconstructions (0.41). The rates of surgery in male (12.7) and female (13.5) players were similar. The rate of surgery in male players was lower than a previous audit a decade ago (19.6 which excluded non-musculoskeletal procedures, P < 0.001) with the surgeries being performed less often including knee arthroscopy, ankle posterior impingement procedures and shoulder arthroscopy (all P < 0.001). Discussion/conclusions There is a general consistency in the rate of surgical procedures in professional Australian cricketers, although rates for the recent decade have dropped compared to the one prior in male players. Rates of surgery between male and female cricketers are very similar, and rates are lower than in the football codes in Australia but higher than the general population.

If masks, specifically respirators, didn’t work… I would never have applied to do medicine. 😂🤣 I want to help people, but I don’t think I would be brave enough to get infected constantly with everything from drug resistant TB to SARS-1. Of course they work, if you put them on!

Our reporters Nate Halverson and Sam Van Pykeren caught up with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) at Alex Pretti's memorial in Minneapolis on Monday. "To lose a 37-year-old son, and then to have that son insulted as a terrorist as opposed to celebrated as a hero...I was furious."
