Everything is happening is everywhere at the same time.

The Shadows of the Great tribulation continues to cast itself on the world.

[b][/b]

We are seeing wars, Famine, Pestilences, Droughts, exactly at the points Bible says will happen when GOD pours HIS wrath on all who rejected the free gift of Salvation.
Everything is happening Specifically as the Bible warned.

Wherever you are all over the world,drop whatever it is you are doing and begin to Seek Earnestly for the mercy of GOD. Run to JESUS Christ now! Repent From your Sins and evils! There is no more time!
JESUS Christ is Coming Quickly '

How does this relate with the story?

Good. I would have even billed her for breathing in my office. As long as she's a woman.
Thank God you are not in charge otherwise it would have been hell for women.

Have Americans blamed Putin today for this yet? undecided

Clowns!

No, because anybody who has ever been anywhere near US knows this is NONSENSE.
In US you will get medical treatment even if you have ZERO money, nothing!
It is not Nigeria where you must first pay for this or that test

The headline is misleading.
The hospital did not charge the lady for crying.

The hospital charged for emotional/behavioral assessment.
If the hospital did not attend to the lady's emotional expression, and complications later developed, the brother would probably complain that the hospital ignored her emotional state, or did not examine or assess her properly.

The west with its imperial mindset is threat to humanity.

Imagine being so confident in your propaganda system that you launch an invasion of Somalia while complaining about Putin invading Ukraine, knowing that your corrupt media and blue checks on Twitter will NEVER call out the hypocrisy

Tyrants and dictators are in awe of U.S. media

I consider the "invasion" of Somalia one of the most selfless actions ever taken by the US. There was simply nothing to gain for the US except end the anarchy that gripped the country after the fall of the Siad Barr government.

President George Bush Snr entry into Somalia occurred after losing the US election. There was no oil or economic resource to exploit In the country. It was and is still, very poor.

Sadly, the US could not bring peace to the country. George Bush thought he could tame the warlords but it learnt otherwise. It could have achieved more seating the warlords down and letting them hammer peace between themselves as what done with Bosnia. Also, the US should have dropped some carrots for the warlords i.e dropping juicy dollars to each warlord in exchange for peace. It would be far cheaper than an invasion. Anyway, it wasn't an invasion. It was more like a containment force.

The $40 is doctor’s fee for emotional and behavioral assessment. Not for crying as you claimed……..Naija

Abegi.
It is a clinical assesment to determine if there is any psychological predisposition, in other words a mental health check.

The patient in question sounds like a minor and had allegedly complained about certain visual impairements.

You need to assess whether these are issues of the mind or the body.

Next time she should know wages are paid by the hour and seconds leads to minutes and hour. So she gets charged for crying, as long as she sat before a doctor to cry when he could use that time to attend to other patients, she go pay.


I like it so people know that time management is key
