I have mixed feelings on this. The ban against women serving in combat roles is about the change:

I suffered a massive full-blown widow-maker heart attack
Med students, heart patients, and interested people, here is an actual post written detailing the signs and symptoms felt while I was suffering what was later diagnosed by a cardiologist as a major heart attack. So I got the cath results: It wasn’t a minor heart attack folks. It was a full blown widow maker …

The conspiracy: Newtown was fake, or staged, or something
We’ve all seen the lucrative delusions packaged and sold like a pound of butter to the religious right over the years.

I’m as serious as a heart attack
Update: I was given some meds to speed the recovery and mitigate the effects of a likely mild MI before the cath on Monday. I guess they’ve kicked in, because i feel superb. Better than I’ve felt in weeks. Alert, calm, and just fantastic all around. I can’t help but feel sorrow for the millions …

I’m not saying it’s God’s Will or anything …
There was a time I felt halfway sorry for Mark Sanford. Remember? Sanford was governor of South Carolina, he disappeared, supposedly to hike the Appalachian Trail. He’d actually fallen head over heels in love with a Brazilian Argentinian beauty and was down south fornicating, much to the chagrin of his wealthy, proper wife back home. …

How to reduce stress and be happy
Commentary
by Stephen "DarkSyde" Andrew
During his extended battle with mylodisplacia, Carl Sagan wrote something to the effect of, “I would almost recommend almost dying to everybody. It’s a character building experience like no other. You get a much clearer perspective of what’s important and what isn’t, the preciousness and beauty of life. I say almost because of the irreducible …
