That's really amazing. As a nurse, I'm very proud of your wife for contributing to the advancement of treatments for all patients. I know that study didn't require her to risk anything, but I still think she's a hero. Participation in clinical trials is so helpful

Thank you for the summary. My takeaway is: So you're saying I should still get a mini LED TV

Poltergeist.
It's only been very recently that I've been able to watch that movie and then sleep with the lights off. It just hit at that right time when I was in middle school that it cemented in my mind for life.
I feel like the practical effects still hold up, and the acting definitely holds up from the entire family. Just seeing a mom that freaked out onscreen messed with me as a child.
Also, anyone who watches that now needs to understand the social and cultural context of the 70s and 80s. We had this new technology that could allow recording and sharing of video, but it was slow and low resolution. There was nothing like ubiquitous cell phone cameras of today. So there was this constant sense that maybe mysterious things were happening just beyond your ability to see and document them. Like having bad glasses in a foggy room.
The advent of cell phone cameras really washed away that sense, and made the world feel much more concrete and exposed. But back then, there was still a sense that something like Poltergeist might really be out there happening.
The book similarly scarred us all when we read it in school
You just changed my whole perception of time lol. I was like, "Tales from the Crypt didn't start until the 80s though." I had no idea there was a movie in the 70s (and a comic series before that.) I only knew the iconic HBO Cryptkeeper
movement that focused on provoking violent responses from authorities using non-violent bait
We just call that daily life these days.
Annoyances? The last time I used AirBNB, there was literally no HEAT in the unit we were staying in. Just because it was San Diego in February doesn't make that legal. We left and got a hotel the next day and I had to fight with them to get a refund.
That's the last time I ever used the service, and I used to be a regular.
The only people who believe that wait times would be worse under a public health care system are people who don't currently need to access health care under a private health care system. I'm an American who unfortunately needs to see specialists relatively frequently and the wait times are already atrocious.
Correct.
