Amoung Throckmorton's many accomplishments in medicine, the sign that bears his name carries the greatest legacy. Just as his radiographic sign has helped many a trauma surgeon and ER physician rapidly identify a serious medical problem, it is hoped that his other signs will alert the voting public of other things that are seriously wrong with our medical and legal systems.

Party of Parasites
A host can often tolerate a few parasites without severe effects. As the load of parasites increases, the host has to expend more metabolic effort to maintain itself. Eventually, the load can increase to the point that the host begins to fail. Some parasites can modify the hosts immune defenses to protect themselves making them harder to remove. Also some hosts make it easier for other parasites to enter the host. I think this applies to Congress, the Country and the Democratic Party.
I don't have your medical expertise/insights to make these analogies on my own... but I do appreciate reading them and they make perfect sense to me.
ReplyDeleteI agree and I'll just add and some republicans too.
