Should doctors and nurses be subject to different penalties for precisely the same infraction? Of course not. Are they? Sure.

Britney and sonBritney was hospitalized at UCLA at least twice in the past few years – once when she gave birth to her first son in 2005, and again in early 2008 for psychiatric care.

Great article!
