She should still be able to work as a doctor. Just because she is a Trump fanatic who got arrested, doesn't mean she can't diagnose people and prescribe pills. The two don't have anything to do with each other. Heck, we have a doctor who tells all the nurses that 'Hillary is a monster.' Lots of doctors legitimately have personality disorders..

the AMA does not specify a code of conduct for doctors outside of their office hours.. just because you got into a fight because THE PRESIDENT brainwashed you into a cult and told you GO FORWARD.. technically, all the Jan 6 rioters were following an EXECUTIVE ORDER to fight from the President.. the president ordered them to do this basically the same way the minutemen were called to fight the British.. it is all gibberish, but he did it, and they believed it.. a doctor would not have their license pulled just because they got into a fight once.. it is not like they molested or robbed someone.. you don't have to be professional outside of your work.. doctors do not have to be perfect outside of work.. her workplace is not a political rally, so she would not be expected to attack the patients. A lot of doctors were part of legitimate mind control cults..

As an electrician, I can't bring myself to enter another electrical engineer's house. They have a very strong grasp on how electricity works but they typically don't know anything at all about building codes and standard practices because that's not what they were trained to do. The issue I have is all the DIY modifications to the house's electrical system. A common theme with EEs is doing all the work themselves then calling an electrician because for some reason they think a licensed electrician will risk their entire reputation by claiming to do the work themselves for code/insurance purposes.

To be clear, I'm not talking about construction engineers, I'm talking about people who mostly design circuit boards for electronic products. Any commercial or industrial electrician can give you a bunch of clueless/arrogant building engineer stories, but in my experience the vast majority know exactly what they're doing.

When does MA/residential/owner stuff need state inspection?

Do people really call you to "inspect" their work? Do they expect you to sign something?

I'm confused.

EDIT: I LOVE THIS TOPIC! And no one seems to "get" that MA has no residential inspection requirements so if the OP is not outright lying (having multiple EEs call them to do inspections) then he is totally shitposting to gen hate against EEs for some strange reason).

He should have left out the word "another", but if you had read and understood his comment, you'd know that was his entire point.

Electrical Engineers generally don't touch anything higher than 12V, and shouldn't be touching the wiring in their houses other than to plug things in.

This is that extra the thing for me also. Doctors have a professional obligation to science, and that obligation informs the health of every patient and kind of requires them to recognize fact and essentially not be batshit crazy.

I never let them feel accepted when it’s in play. That’s maybe not shunning fully but it is targeted shunning.

There's no way you can look at January 6th and say, with a straight face, that it doesn't fit the bill. It was literally an attempted coup to overthrow the government because Lil' Donny was mad he still didn't win an election he tried so desperately to stack in his favor.

And before you start with the whataboutisms, because your comments scream that you would: BLM was not part of the riots and actively condemned them. Anyone with a brain knows they were thugs disconnected from the movement, using it as a cover and/or trying to paint them in a negative light...partially because it's been proven time and time again.

It’s fairly new and not well studied. That said, I have definitely heard of people opening these treatment centers in order to make a fast buck.

I’m an anesthesiologist; I handle these medications every day and I wouldn’t feel comfortable using ketamine for the purpose of detoxing someone without knowing a lot more than I already do. If you feel this could be helpful I’d look for one run by a psychiatrist with or without the addition of a pharmacologist or an anesthesiologist.

My point in this post is that an OB-Gyn has no business doing that without loads more training. An MD does not confer knowledge of everything. As we all recall, a board-certified cardiologist managed to kill Michael Jackson with propofol.

Im happy for you that you are on a recovery path and I hope you find things that help you along the way.

However, I do support her arrest because it seems to have merit.

Abd I am fairly consistent in this philosophy regardless of the accused. Amber Heard is an abusive piece if crap, but I don’t support removing her from Aquaman as retribution, for example.

And “domestic terrorist” is a very serious accusation, One which I refuse to use lightly. As yet I haven’t seen evidence of terrorism. No, being present at the Capitol is not enough.,

Yes, it was given the context. She was there unlawfully, everyone there was told it was unlawful, everyone was told to leave and didn't. Stop downplaying and defending domestic terrorists.

Done responding to you, you're obviously commenting in bad faith.

So trespassing is terrorism?

When will we see prosecution of the punks setting off explosives and blinding police night after night at the federal building in Portland? THAT was domestic terrorism.
