2. WTAH???

6. I should hope that such knighthood plans are over and done.

8. I am somehow both disturbed and unsurprised by this news. And yes, we do need to update surgical training.

2) Old legal rule: "If neither the facts nor the law support your case, pound the table."

5) My parents had at least one child under 6 for 14 consecutive years, and sometimes as many as 3 at once. This was deliberate, too, so one wonders why they did it. (Being a child over 6 in the middle of this for 9 of those years was no picnic either.)

6) Never mind that he's a war criminal, I don't think anybody should be allowed to receive a knighthood who, if he had one, would be called 'Sir Tony'. Those two words just don't go together.

8. So, is it that male surgeons are somehow careless or incompetent with female patients (how?) or a different sexism where female surgeons only get to do the "easier" operations (on all genders) so that all the high risk ones are done by male surgeons? Or maybe if there's some kinds of surgery that women die / get complications from more easily than men, and those types of "riskier" ops are only done by male surgeons that could also (partly?) explain it. Perhaps female surgeons just don't feel riskier ops are worth it and do them far less often. How could we tell? Breakdown of the operation types and maybe lengths might help...
