BREAKING NEWS: 45% of Cars May Be Crushed By Dinosaur Rampages

A study just released yesterday showed that, if scientists were to enact the plot of Jurassic Park in real life, nearly 45% of cars might be destroyed by wandering dinosaurs. Asked for comment, scientist Gene Splicer said, "It's a serious issue, one that the American public isn't looking at closely enough. Look, if we were ever to pull something like this off, let's face it, these things weigh TONS. There's going to be lots of crushed cars trampled underfoot, and John Q Public is going to want some answers to big questions. Questions like, 'Why would you even bring dinosaurs back to life?' And the President is going to need to have some answers."

The poll, conducted by Rasmussen, asked participants, "If a 20 foot tall dinosaur were to step on your car while running across the street, do you think your car would be able to withstand the pressure unscathed?" 45% of respondents said they thought their car would be crushed, 15% said they thought their car could withstand the damage, and 40% wondered what the word unscathed meant, and argued whether it was a 'real' word or not. When assured it was a real word, 20% said it's probably just another fancy word used by elite liberals.

Back to you in the studio, Norm....

That's pretty creative.

The Baucus bill includes no public option, but only coops and insurance mandates. What wimps.

The poll wasn't on the Baucus bill which I'm sure you know. The Baucas bill is dead on arrival which I'm sure you know as well.

50% of doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class, they are the ones causing medical malpractice anyway. They should quit and just open homeopathic shops.

[Winehole23]

The last stat I saw on malpractice is that 5% of doctors are responsible for 50% of malpractice claims. Pity doctors don't police their own a little better.

What do you call someone who graduated from med school with a C-average?

Maybe 45% of doctors are racists.

"50% of doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class"

from med school? Too bad that 100% of the doctors don't graduate in the top 10% of the class, with nobody in the bottom 90%.

[nuclearfm]

What do you call someone who graduated from med school with a C-average?

Hmm. I could think of a few.

How about a non-board certified plastic surgeon? There are plenty of those around.

Hey, now. I'm just stating the facts

The correct answer is: They are called doctors.

[elbamba]

And what are the numbers of people in med school, residency, internships? I'd also like to see the raw data of this poll.

I have a son-in-law at KU medical school right now and most of the students from his perspective are against the Obama plan. This is obviously not scientific in nature and is his opinion on the general feel for student's opinion that he has.

[elbamba]

While I certainly do not believe that your grades will make you a great doctor or a bad doctor, I do believe that medical schools matter. I am not thrilled that many students go to other countries with small island third world medical schools and then return here to practice medicine. It worries me.

I think medical school costs and length of training are effectively a barrier to entry.

Other industrial countries have quite a few more doctors-per-100K capita than USA and still they spend a lot less per capita on health care and deliver care to everybody.

And USA has horrible deficit in primary care docs, and it's disastrous in rural areas.

I doubt doctors, esp specialists, in other countries start practicing with $150K in school debts.

America's health system is screwed in so many ways, and is so far behind health care delivery in other countries.

Not everybody...just ask the 250K people the British unplugged without talking to the families, last year.

And USA has horrible deficit in primary care docs, and it's disastrous in rural areas.

You think that's going to get better under ObamaCare?

America's health system is screwed in so many ways, and is so far behind health care delivery in other countries.

America has the most innovative, sophisticated, technologically advanced, and effective medical care in the world.

I don't see anyone flocking to any other country in the world when they get some catastrophic disease.

Great post LnGrrrR

"flocking to any other country"

Americans doing medical tourism is so big that one US health insurance company is considering covering it.

Americans are moving to MX and Costa Rica for the cheaper care.

"most innovative, sophisticated, technologically advanced, and effective"

you left out "most expensive" and "least accessible", but let's not t quibble over details

But, not better care.

Do you think it's free to develop those therapies?
