I've tried to search this, but I can't find an answer. Though google did provide me with tons of patient information sites in Spanish.

I'm a health care provider so this distinction is important to me.

Thanks for any help!

I want to divest about 10% of my btc. However Kracken hasn't approved my "selfie" to withdraw USD for over a month. Seems like lots of exchanges are happy to have you deposit but won't ever let you withdraw. So who is my best bet?

Why is duolingo not adding this to the Android or web version? It's been several months. Either 1) They have a deal with Apple (similar to what Apple has done before: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/plants-vs.-zombies-android-delay,news-17597.html) or 2) They have really really bad developers. I mean really REALLY bad.

Yes it's harder to develop for android because you have a great deal more hardware configurations than the 3-5 you would have with Apple. However it should be simpler to create a web version.

Seriously, this kind of anti-competitive business practice is BULL CRAP. If Apple can't win on a fair playing field they should just do a better job rather than pay people to keep desired

Species: Dog

Age: 8

Sex/Neuter status: neutered male

Breed: Mix - I think chihuahua/jack russel

Body weight: 18

History: Got into 4th of July leftovers and ate 5 polish sausages. No onions/grapes/chocolate that he could have gotten into, though my brother does use medical marijuana - but unlikely. That night was fine, but since the next AM he has less energy, declines trips to park (very unusual). Winces when picked up. He's still eating some food, but not much - and he's obsessive about food usually. Drinking OK.

Clinical signs: Abdominal exam has LUQ tenderness, BS present. Lungs clear. RR 28, HR is about 120 and varies with respiration (like respiratory sinus arrhythmia in humans -

I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the plus side, it limits my liability and thus makes me less likely to practice defensive medicine. It also would sweeten the pot for on-call specialists and ameliorate one of the banes of my existence. I think ultimately this would actually accomplish to some extent the goals of the bill (improving access to emergency care).

On the other hand, doctors do really sometimes do stupid things (or don't do smart things they should) that harm patients and there should be a means of compensation for that injury.

Plus it's mostly Republicans supporting this which always makes me suspicious.

I'm usually really good at Christmas and my husband sucks. However I have no ideas this year, he can't think of anything he wants, and I told him exactly what I wanted.

He's a Linux geek, but a new laptop wouldn't help he's cheap about hardware. He will take a shitty old laptop, install Linux and be happy with it. He almost doesn't like new hardware. He's also into arduinos, internet privacy/security (the kind of guy who puts duct tape over the webcam and has a rooted android phone with cyanogen mod that is so hardened that he uses Osm instead of google maps), and hero worships Glenn Greenwald but has all his books.

I got him a DSLR last year and he loves it but doesn't want a new one.

Working in the ER last night, I treated a guy from a heavily Muslim country (studying abroad at our local college). He has a complaint that may be caused or exacerbated by alcohol, so as I do with everyone having this problem I ask: "do you drink alcohol and if so how much?"

You would have thought I spit in eye slit of his mom's niqāb. Dude lost his shit and started screaming at me that I should know that alcohol has never passed his lips because he is a devout Muslim. I almost just got up and walked out (I'm your doctor, not your verbal punching bag, asshole).

However I looked him straight in the eye and said "I don't look at the color or your skin or your accent or where you are from and
