Telephone sanitiser?

No i am an electronics engineer. But thanks to AMs table i just realized i could have had become an above average janitor, or a professor or a doctor or a math wizard, or anything in between. I am so glad i joined this forum, otherwise i wouldnt have been able to learn form AMs post that i basically could have had about any occupation with any around average IQ. I wish i had known that earlier, before i went to school. It would have saved me lots of time thinking about my future.

Doctors are surprisingly bad at reading lab results.

...my research has found that many physicians misunderstand test results or think tests are more accurate than they are. Doctors especially fail to grasp how false positives work, which means they make crucial medical decisions — sometimes life-or-death calls — based on incorrect assumptions that patients have ailments that they probably don’t. When we do this without understanding the science of risk and probability, we unacceptably increase the chances of making the wrong choice. In the worst cases, as with the man whose angiogram caused otherwise avoidable strokes, we increase the odds of unnecessarily putting patients in danger.

Basic misunderstandings about how tests work and how accurate they are contribute to a bigger problem. Although precise numbers are hard to come by, every year, many thousands of patients are diagnosed with diseases that they don’t have. They receive treatments they don’t need, treatments that may have harmful side effects. Perhaps just as important, they and those around them often experience enormous stress from these incorrect diagnoses. Treating nonexistent diseases is wasteful and often expensive, not only for patients but for hospitals, insurance companies and governments.

Liberals are amazing. I actually have you guys arguing that doctors are no smarter than dishwashers.

Still lowering yourself to the level of pond scum by taking pot shots at my profession, I see. 
Stupid.

Senate races move right, House races move left in political fallout from Kavanaugh confirmation fight

Senators representing less than half the U.S. are about to confirm a nominee opposed by most Americans [nominated by a president who didn't win the majority of the vote]

Are you accusing somebody specific of that?

I wonder if republicans will believe her?

A teenage girl who called 999 to report she was in an unknown location with a man who had just raped her was found by police using a drone.
The 16-year-old contacted police in the early hours of Saturday to say she was on land in Boston with her attacker.
Police recognised the description given as a levelled factory site and officers used a drone with a thermal imaging camera to track them both down.
A man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of rape.
Insp Ed Delderfield, of Lincolnshire Police, said the officers had the drone with the thermal camera in their car.
It picked up two heat sources and guided officers to the girl and the suspected attacker at the location near Brown's Road.
Police said the girl was being supported by specially-trained officers.

I wonder if republicans will believe her?

Sure.

If she waits 35 years to report it...depends on corroboration.

[Joods]

Sounds about right coming from someone like you.
