...they're my happiest patients. They tell their friends that they're out of pain. More convincingly, they beat their friends at squash and tennis. This seems to be what gets people into my office and it's why arthroscopic cuff repairs are so "hot" right now - word of mouth referral. With all due respect to the medical marketing folks - it ain't them. I can't read a magazine, see a movie or even be put on hold on the telephone without being blasted by medical advertising. We're desensitized, immune to it - after all, how many "best doctors...
...sign up, right? But while you’re filling out little handouts with names of T-Rex and stegosaurus body parts, information is flowing, and straight-up memorization forms the backbone of the class. At midterm and final time, every word from Marshall’s mouth is up for grabs—students were grilled about total minutiae from lecture, and TFs were picky with what answers were awarded full credit. Basically, though, if you crack open the damn book, do your reading, and actually study for this one come test time, you’ll be okay...

Which leaves us reaching for Occam's razor, that most useful of philosophical concepts, which holds that the simplest explanation for complicated events is generally the best one. In that sense, the occurrences recorded in Hollywoodland are like the theories surrounding Monroe's death (or, for that matter, JFK's assassination); they require a lot of coincidences to fall into place, as well as the complicity of too many unreliable individuals, for them to be truly plausible. The film...
...Regardless of who you are - whether you're a 9/11 family member, an Iraqi war veteran, whether you lost a child in a hot tub drain, whether your child was abducted - if you're an American citizen, you have every right to open your mouth and partake in democracy. I have every right to voice my opinion...
