facepalm

I have a friend, if you really want to call her that, and she has recently started to get on my nerves. This chick has some serious mental problems. Which is kinda the only reason I talk to her, because I like to see what kind of crazy delusions she can come up with next.

Her latest rampage has been about some health care issues in America. She has went on and on about numerous tests and treatments and how they are not necessary to saving lives. An example? She thinks that any kind of radiology study (x-ray, CT scan) is poisonous and that having one of these scans will cause some crazy side effects, like making your fingernails stop growing and making your teeth rot (I swear I'm not making that up).

I try to correct her on many points. I refer her to websites and books that will give her correct information. I print shit off the internet, highlight correct information, and she still refuses to believe correct information.

Finally today I asked her why she continues to rebut all the information I have taken the time to refer her to. Her response- "Wikipedia and Yahoo give me everything I need to know, and I know those websites won't lie to me like your crazy doctor ones will". Yeah. Sure.

Sigh. That is a prime example of what is wrong with America today.
