    Calling All Grammar Police

    Excellent question. Per the Chicago Manual of Style: "6.11 Space between sentences In typeset matter, one space, not two (in other words, a regular word space), follows any mark of punctuation that ends a sentence, whether a period, a colon, a question mark, an exclamation point, or closing...

    Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease...

    Laparoscopic applications involve small, multiple incisions, where guides and a camera are inserted and used as an extension of the surgeons hands and eyes. This is used to minimize scaring, excessive recovery times, and reduces exposure to organs. The notion of "lasering" is incorrect.

    Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease...

    Since she has had GERD her entire adult life, she should maintain a close relationship with a gastroenterologist. This might seem obvious, but you'd be surprised by the amount of authority that has been erroneously removed from specialist and passed to primary care physicians. The dispensation...

    I'm curious. How did you manage to out-wit all the professionals and manage to self-prescribe prednisone? What lead you to believe 10 mgs per day was the appropriate dose? Correction, 40 mgs per day. Why this amount?

    Dweb take on Infant Vaccines

    I see a lot of similar responses here. Most appear to be uniformed and have succumbed to the MMR "rumor mill." Others are based on a clear distrust of the CDC and any government institution. However, the fact is that these diseases don't care about your opinions. They're living organisims...

    [Head Shake] That’s it. I can’t take it anymore. I’ve seen a lot of great threads on this site in the past couple of years, but this abomination takes it. That “Snorkel” is the worst modification I have ever seen anyone cast on their Land Rover bar-none! However, I sincerely doubt I’ve...
