AFAIK, it’s not uncommon for female doctors to retain their maiden name if they’re not married before obtaining their doctorate degree. Looks like this is the case here.
Rest in Peace, Dr. Hammond.
My wife is a lawyer and practices under her maiden name. That’s what the judges, etc. knew her as, plus for safety reasons we prefer it. However, legally she and I have the same last name and that is what we use everywhere else.
‘Solarium’ is a synomyn for ‘tanning salon’ in Austalia and New Zealand.
God Bless Her.
Melanoma is connected to too much sunlight.
Um, I didn’t say ALL American women would abort this baby. But unfortunately, there are still quite a few American women who WOULD, without a second thought. AND be praised by liberals for the ‘choice’ they made! :*(
I thank God for American women like this who make the choice to save their child’s life over their own! “Great love hath no man than this”—:*)
Prayers for the families they leave behind.
Okay, people. “Chances are” means a *possibility* that the outcome in American MIGHT have been different. AND praised by the liberal left!
Sheesh. Stop with the attacking. Please. I’m on the side of life, in ALL countries.
There are those who value the sanctity of all life and those who don’t in all countries.
Actually the expression “chances are...” indicates that it whatever follows is the more likely outcome, not just a simple ‘possiblility’.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you simply misspoke.
An attorney in our small town was faced with that situation several years back. He and his wife choose to continue with the pregnancy, and they refused to hurt the unborn child. The baby was born and she died about 8 months later. He was a young man with two very small children. He has since remarried and has another child. I seldom hear of it mentioned, but some of those around for years recall their sacrifice with great respect
Okay, let me rephrase: If this doctor had lived in America and learned she had cancer and the only way to survive would be to abort the ‘fetus’ she was carrying, there are a lot of women in America who would do such a thing and go on Oprah and be praised by liberals for making this terrible choice.
Better?
Yeah, I think the allegation is that tanning salons are distinct, in that they use the cancer-causing UVwhatever -— preventing burns, getting tan, and causing cancer.
Obviously, I have no knowledge and am sure there is much junk science on both sides.
Me, I resolve the dispute by being a pasty white guy.
Not attacking, just pointing out that there are good women here in this country - a fact that seems to be lost on *some* men here at FR.
LOL. Not good enough that I gave you the benefit of the doubt, eh? Kind of like my daughter who sometimes is so intent on arguing something that she won’t take yes for an answer.
May God bless and keep her.
Prayers for that selfless woman, and her daughter and husband. Shame on those who turned what could have been a beautiful tribute thread, into a pissing contest.
Far be it from me to try to get the last word, LOL. ;-)
Bygones.
