Maybe if the parents and pediatrician cared enough - anon

I know a lot of you will sit with your mouths open at what I am about to say, but here goes....

If the parents and pediatrician cared enough about this child they wouldn't have let him get this huge.

Now I'll say this. NO, NO, NO, NO - He should not have been denied coverage. I don't care what his situation is. He should NOT been denied coverage.

But it's time the parents and pediatrician start looking out for the health of this obese baby. Being an obese kid myself and picked on by the school bullies it's not fun entering school at a fat kid. Why would any parents do that to their own child.

He is being breast fed. His pediatrician apparently - Colleen

must be thinking the same as the parents, that he will likely lose it when he starts crawling and walking. I think the parents to watch the child in the future for tendencies for obesity, but at only 4 months old, I think the problem here is not the child or the parents or the doctor. It is the insurance company.

Hearing Loss....smJun 24, 2012
After more than 40 years of MT'ing, I have lost 80% hearing in left ear and 10% in right ear.  This, according to doc, is definitely due to constant sound assault on my ears for all of these years.  I now need dual hearing aids; the left ear to compensate for severe hearing loss and the right ear to prevent hearing loss.  I will be getting them within the next week.  My real concern is whether I will be able to wear either my in-the-ear headset or over-the-head head ...

That's your job" (pointing out that he m ...

Hearing Problem Affecting Work?Apr 10, 2015
Over the past couple of years I have had slight decreased hearing and also difficulty understanding words dictated when QA says they are perfectly clear to them.  The last one told me to get a better headset, but I can't afford it.  I was told by a person who used to do QA that when they listen, they have it on a different system that provides better sound quality.  I'm not sure if it's my ears or the system.  These are words I know, I just can't understan ...

C-Span3 Right Now: Hearing On Purchase Of Smithfield By ChinaJul 10, 2013
C-Span 3 has a hearing on the acquisition of Smithfield. The man testifying, Daniel Slane states if China buys Smithfield, what keeps them from dominating the free market? Also, American companies can't buy into Chinese food companies so we shouldn't allow them or any other country to buy our food producing companies, especially since it would be more than likely that they would move the company overseas and then sell Smithfield products back to the U.S. at a higher price and lesser st ...

Rep. Mel Watts is babysitting. He came into the hearing with his grandson, had him sitting on his lap. Holder stated he thought kids were only seen at confirmation hearings whereas everyone laughed.  After the 2nd question, the little guy started getting antsy, so he handed him off to someone out of camera range at which point, the little guy started to complain, so Rep. Watts had to take him back. (He got another laugh over that.) The little guy settled down then and Rep. Watts could fin ...
