What: I've watched this show a couple of times and find it ridiculous. It seems they find the most gruesomely decomposing corpses and spend much time picky over and analyzing it in great detail. This is of course the premise of the show. But are all the bodies delivered to the medical examiner in this state of decay? I doubt it. Part of the appeal of this show must be viewing beautiful women, immaculately dressed, musing over a rotten corpse. What gives?

What: "In another world cancer cells are like cars with defective foot brakes (G1 checkpoint) and they need to rely on the emergency/parking brake (G2 checkpoint) to take curves or drive above bumps." This is a good comparison. It relates the mechanistic failures of a cancer cell to something that is generally understood by most; failing brakes. Cells have the capacity to grow as cars have the capacity to move. Mammalian cells also have the capacity to shut themselves down as car have the capacity to stop. But as noted, a aberrant chemical pathway in a cancer cell will make it unable to stop producing the way worn out break pads diminish a car's capacity to slow down and stop

What: "But let us consider where licensing came from. Licensing for doctors came from the AMA. The AMA was a means to limit doctors from competition by restricting their supply. The AMA is like a guild system. They are a monopoly that controls licensing, indeed, they were even sued for anti-trust violations. "

What: From the linked document: The AMA is like a "medieval guild," according to Dr. James Howard Means, former Harvard professor of clinical medicine. He told the Group Health Association-which expressed support of health care under social security-the AMA strives to preserve the status quo in medical affairs and has done "very little toward the improvement of medical care."

What: "The collagen is like sticky glue at first and needs to remodel to improve the quality, orientation and tensile strength of the fibers to mirror the functional capabilities of the tissue it is replacing. Appropriate stress placed on the tissues allows it to properly realign. Without the stress, the result will be a weaker, less elastic scar tissue."

As a man, I had long believed that regular, satisfying sex would make me a much happier guy. Well, it's not true. The pursuit of sex for the purpose of becoming happier will drive you mad. The irony is that if you can let sex go as a need, the opportunities for having sex in your life will only increase..."

What: "The plastic surgeon has to have a good eye and he has to be very compulsive. Skill and judgment come with experience. Plastic surgery is like sculpture; it requires meticulous attention to detail and as much time as necessary to get the best possible result. So you will never be rushed through surgery. I don't do more than the three operations in one day for this reason."
