"Daydreaming is normal. It is a fantasy break from our daily slog. But when daydreaming becomes obsessive to the point of impairing daily life, it is maladaptive. For example, a person may replace unsatisfactory real relationships with imaginary ones, only to find themselves terribly alone."

Senate confirmed #MehmetOz to oversee #HealthInsurance for millions of Americans

TV’s “#DrOz” & known quack has been confirmed to lead the Centers for #Medicare & #Medicaid Services, which has a massive $1 trillion+ budget & oversees health insurance for millions of Americans.

#MedicalDevices #Medical has anyone here ever used a "hands free knee crutch"? #crutches - how did you find it? I'm looking at having my #ankle fused #anklefusion - and I am thinking about options for mobility during recovery.

I’m still pissed.
