    ACID ON THE NAIL BED. What kind of doctor would remove a living, functional body part? #cervarix

    My hubby runs marathons, has done two ultra marathons (50K). I can't imagine him removing his toenails. He just keeps them super short. And deals with the bruises and blisters like any other runner. Geesh.

    And yay for the FGM gal. That bit of news made me smile. Thank you. #cervarix

    @wtfox?!: Even better...I read the article and then went and found the pics of somebody having them removed. They take out the nail and then use acid to prevent it from growing back. Wowza! #cervarix

    @sassyredhead: WRITHING IN HORROR.

    I actually had the pinky nail on my right hand ripped out once (by accident), and it is possibly the most horrifying thing I have ever seen. Do you know how far under your skin your nail actually goes? A long fucking way, let me tell you. #cervarix

    @sassyredhead: I actually had this done because I have super thin big toenails - best decision of my life. I am now completely pain free and never have to worry about them growing back. It was initially, during the procedure, very alarming, but after it had healed I am 110%. It looks completely clean and bare now. #cervarix

    It also brought back memories of friend losing toenail after waterskiing incident, which provoked additional wincing and toe-curling. #cervarix

    @Beets.Go.On is the Fat Yogini: I went on a mini emotional roller coaster, going from that to the people posing as victims of domestic violence.

    Oh, that is so wonderful, that's a really positive step... they pretended what? So they could WHAT?

    Hope... RAGE. Ah leftovers. #cervarix

    @JoStockton: They've been accused of it, not proven---and it's based on the suspicions of somebody who noticed similarities in their stories. Well, guess what? Abusers tend to abuse in the same ways. It works, that's why. What next? A rape victim gets called a liar because she claims the rapist penetrated her, just like some other victim claimed? #cervarix

    @Ginmar Rienne: From what it sounds like, the issue isn't that their stories are similar, the issue is that the paperwork and documentation is virtually identical. While a lot of people's stories might be similar, everyone tells their own story in a different way. It sounds like the descriptions were verbatim, which is what tweaked someone.

    I'm inclined to believe that the people who work in the field that would be in a position to catch this kind of fraud would be very wary of falsely accusing someone of falsifying claims of abuse.

    The reality is that resources for protecting women who are abused are so thin on the ground anyway, and if these women were actually doing this, it's pretty heinous. Especially if they're trading on the idea that no one will challenge their story, because it's not PC to. #cervarix

    @Ginmar Rienne: It's not similarities in their stories. It's similarities in the forged documents they used to make their cases. According to the NY Times, a court-issued temporary order of protection, a domestic incident report from the Police Department and a letter from Safe Horizon, an agency that works with domestic violence victims that were included in these women's applications were all forged. Yes, they are innocent until proven guilty, but there was enough evidence to arrest them for forgery.

    @Ginmar Rienne: Um, this thread was about the awesome doctor, not the potentially fake victims. While, I feel your point is important, you should have made your very own comment about it, instead of threadjacking.

    So much for focusing on the positives in the Leftovers tonight. #cervarix

    Why do they screen egg donors so ridiculously carefully, but not sperm donors? Aren't both donations equally important? #cervarix

    @Maritsa: I had a boyfriend in college who donated sperm to make money - you go in and fill out a form, then make your deposit. Whereas egg donation requires you to fill out like a 5 page form, get approved, come in to give your full family medical history, have a medical exam, etc. For some reason it's much more rigorous. #cervarix
