Can anyone with expertise explain why an oil field would be permanently damaged if they are shut down rapidly? The oil would still be in the ground, right? Why couldn't you just drill another hole even if the current pump is damaged beyond repair? I'm obviously way out of my depth here, it just seems odd that the oil would be permanently inaccessible.

Yes. But this was different. Each turd was like a kaleidoscope depending on how many crayons the dog had eaten. It got to where my brother and I could only color at the dining room table. This was a long time ago, but somethings just stick with you as the decades go by.

My first born actually swallowed a dime that lodged in his throat and started making this horrid rasping sound. We rushed him to the emergency room and they suggested after x-rays that we give it some time while we waited. You could see a perfect disc centered in his throat. Things being considerably less formal in 1976, instead of admitting him formally, they gave us a lounge with a baby bed. After a shift change, the doctor in charge came in, said that we had waited long enough and they took forceps and removed it. Ended up sending us home and telling us to meet him in the parking lot the next morning and he'd check his breathing. Seems like we must have looked about as poor as we were then.

There are good doctors-lots of them-not concerned about $$
And then there are others
 
I practiced from 1976 to 2015. In my early years you had a lot more freedom to save people money- house calls, seeing patients in the office at 3am so they didn't get an ER charge, arbitrarily reducing surgery bills, etc; as medicine became more corporate and doctors became employees (and sources of income for larger organizations) those things were lost.
It was always a lot of fun though-

Yep, my doctor in middle and high school was an OB/GYN because my mom was the office admin there and he would see me for free on weekends if I ever needed anything.
 
These "CENTCOM readies final blow plan" releases the last couple weeks all reek of desperation as smoke screen for acting tough but really just going home without fighting anymore.

If the GOP didn't enjoy defending the kinetic part of this mess I'm sure they can't wait for the next phase where people ask if 13 American lives, 380 casualties and billions in spending was worth...this.
