Nice Planet X: I knew it, I'm surrounded by a-holes!

And some things, doctors rely on what the patient tells them (aches/mental things/etc). Actual physical evidence of stuff is usually rather easy to figure out. Mental stuff, or general aches/pains are a bit tougher. So, it depends on how accurate the info is coming from the patient, and/or how good the doctor is.
Your PCP isn't the one prescribing the meds though, it's a licensed mental health professional.

So now doctors arent just pill pushing drug dealers, they are incompetent and lazy as well? Anything else we should know?

In my case, my mental health professional is only a social worker, so my PCP is the one prescribing the meds. And when I come in every few months for a medication review, I am given a quiz that helps grade how severe the depression is, and I have to be as detailed as possible when describing the mental anguish.

Yes it is but good luck even trying to get that conviction.

According to the San Diego Chargers' training staff, Brock Hekking will not be eating for the next five days. You might ask why, and it's because he just ate more than 21,000 calories of BBQ in 43 minutes.

Here's what was on the menu:
2 racks of beef ribs
2 racks of baby back ribs
1 whole chicken
2 pulled pork sandwiches
1 giant sausage
1 pound of mac and cheese
Large side of fries
Large onion rings
Bite of coleslaw
2 ears of corn
64-ounce Mountain Dew

That equates to more than 21,000 calories—which Hekking put down in less than an hour.

I meant to toss that in the NFL thread. Oops.

Could'a done 22,000 if he hadn't wasted stomach capacity on that coleslaw.

To put that in perspective...dietary "calories" in food are actually units known as kilocalories, or 1000 regular science-y calories. He ate 21,000,000 regular calories.

A gallon of gasoline contains about 31,000,000 regular calories. In theory, the amount of energy he consumed could probably propel a car a good 10-15 miles.

Instead it'll just propel Hekking to an industrial strength toilet with Super Flush capabilities.

That story is everything that is wrong with America...
