Popped out his penis and cut it off. In a crowded restaurant. Now he's being evaluated for his mental health status. Any guesses as to what they will decide?

I did a shift at the San Diego Hospice (awesome place) and one of the doctors was vehemently against assisted suicide. She felt that all terminally ill people needed was proper pain management.

It's easy for those who don't have chronic pain to not understand how it controls your life and that the person can operate normally with extremely high doses in their system.

Must be an intelligent design thing. Whatever. It's stupid and dangerous.
