Amputations of Healthy Limbs – HotAir

When health and self-image are conflated into one concept, there is no standard at all for what counts as “medical care.” Canada–which has been having huge trouble providing basic medical care to its citizens–has jumped feet first into the critical medical studies pool of mind-melting acid.
