ENY,
I hear you on that,
but in the case of young doctors just getting out
the 21% pay cut comes with non dischargable, massive
student loan debt
and
no decrease in liability issues.
Donatella, my favorite way to get those guys to close their legs….I force myself in there and press my leg on theirs making it clear that they are taking up too much space. If they give me a stinky look or say something, I turn to them and say with a completely straight face, “We both know your d*ck isn’t that big. You don’t need to open your legs that far.” The shock and horror (plus the giggles from the people around us who hear me say this) usually gets the guy to close his legs and stop squishing me 🙂 Vulgar? Yep. Problem solved? Yep!
cmu, for what it’s worth, I agree with you. It always bothered me that whenever there was a plane crash, a tsunami, war, or terrorism, the news always has to point out how many Americans died, as if we are more valuable to the universe than anyone else. I suppose those statistics are supposed to personalize it for the imaginationally or empathetically challenged, but it always comes off as xenophobic, or superior.
Snappy, I agree about backpacks. It usually seems like those most spacially clueless have the largest backpacks. Some of them take up as much space as another person. It should be mandatory to take them off in the train.
I will rarely sit on a subway anyway. There’s not enough air circulation down there.
Dave, you are a real gentleman, that is why you stand. I hate it when I sit next to the gangsta, thuggish, males who have to open their legs, aerating their balls and leave everyone else to skrunch their bodies, cross their legs, etc. to accomodate them
Snappy, you are right! There are backpacks like steamer trunks — what the F is in those things????!!!???
your letter, *Rob*, is about Continuum Health Care group (Beth Israel hospital) and I think Aetna insurance ….
They haven’t worked out some dispute and for now are not accepting your insurance.

a losing proposition for many.

lechacal,
make sure they check for a growth plate injury,
sometimes found in children in severe ankle sprains.
“try working with a sudden 21% pay cut”
Believe me, I have. At times, the decline has been even more precipitous.
I don’t care what they carry as long as it’s not nail clippers! Found a nail in my pant cuff one day.

“try working with a sudden 21% pay cut and 30 million more patients and no change in liability issues.”
That’s what I call ‘making it up on volume’.
