    I've wanted for very little in my life, but there are levels of wealth most people could hardly imagine, myself included. Yall can keep saying there's no merit to stuff like pizzagate, but at that level of wealth of the people involved, the general public thinks that it's debunked because of a basement or something. They can pay for most of the public to think whatever it is they want them to think

Being a doctor isnt what it used to be with this new horrible govt socialized medical system. The only ones that make the big bucks and get wealthy, are the specialists. The elite, top of the class doctors. The remaining ones, make 200k or maybe 300k per year, if they are lucky upon finishing their residency.

Her first upset in her life - her husband cheated on her? - everything went to pots. I cannot describe the adversity that I have seen in my life as a single parent and the first woman in my family to go to high school. I graduated from medical school late in life. Tortured through residency and could not get through it 3X. Had an ex try to take my home away and fought him in court for almost a year. I have been alone for years. Yesterday, I drove back on a country road because I saw a very small turtle crossing the road. Many cars were going in both directions. I positioned my car to stop all traffic and got the turtle to double-time and cross the road. That made my day. If you cannot appreciate the little things in life, please don't hire a hitman and find excuses for it. And yes, there are some really, really mean people in medicine.
