I'm imagining that I might just leave and try either a different place, or treat it myself. One can't blame a doctor for "choosing" to be up so long that they'll make an understandable but deadly mistake.

Is it rude to start asking them how long they've been up? I don't even want medical advice from someone who's been up 28 hours.

It's surprising the psychological difference of "net seventeen people think you're an asshole" vs "twenty people think you're an asshole, but three people get you".

That's because anyone with a conscience and brain wants to shut them all down right now.

Basically everything (but the fact that a bar went through his head) was in his favor. He was young and healthy. His brilliant surgeon had actually watched a similar failed surgery once before, and so allowed drainage into Gage's sinuses once the bar was removed. This controlled blood flow while allowing pus to drain out later.

If you ever see anything like this, don't pull it out - let the doctor do it!

The Peter Principle means they're incompetent, not bad guys. You're thinking of Plato's "philosopher kings".

That's a nice coastline you've got there. It would be a shame if something more expensive than Pigouvian taxes happened to it.

Basically just Haley now.
