I’m a retired doctor and it’s true - the German Dr.med. is a purely academic title and not relevant to the practitioner’s qualification to treat you.
The title used to be very important in Germany, but it no longer is a thing.

Re: Why are you happy today?
Kinda happy because I still know enough medicine to advise and help people.
Kinda sad because the lack of good old GPs is so bad people turn to me…

Re: Legalising cannabis
Has anyone here tried (successfully or otherwise) to join a club yet? I knew they were supposed to be legal as of July and a quick search landed me here. Seems like reasonable costs, but I have no idea how hard it is to get a spot in one. https://cscsdeutschland.de/aktuelle-informationen From what ...

Germany, the land of no a/c…. I usually go down into the subway station to cool off. The last days were terrible.

Re: device not connecting to the home WiFi
Hm, have connected Eufy devices before. You’re right, the devices only talk to the 2.4 GHz band. What did Eufy support say?

John is holding up well.
No news on his Nicole, further diagnostics not before the end of the week at best.

Re: Weather in Bavaria this weekend
While most of Munich is not flooded, the city is cut off because the Autobahns are flooded and train tracks washed out. Wow.
My colleague’s wife is stuck in Nuremberg, can’t get home. But doesn’t have to swim.

Wading through tremendous amounts of paperwork (was sick for a long time).
It’s scary as heck, but I’m happy I started.

Re: Telekom visit on Monday: access to property hardware
Did it work?
Our house has the same haphazard collection of boxes and wires in the basement hallway, and the telecom people access it all just fine.

Re: Weather in Bavaria this weekend
It rained nonstop in Munich, so no gardening meetup happened.
The water ran up to the house door, making us slog through a small lake to get in, but we survived.
A colleague escaped the rain to the North Sea, and found tons of water there

Here's a nice summary of Trump's guilty press conference. https://www.yahoo.com/news/guilty-trumps-press-conference-disaster-184526876.html I watched The Don‘s statement after the verdict and his Friday press conference. In both, he was angry and rambled off the cuff in the most disjointed way. Not...

John is home and recovering nicely, taking walks with the dog - and then Nicole fell sick and was hospitalized . Am in contact with John, who gave me permission to post about this.
It’s basically a heart issue (did you break it John, you naughty bastard!!), so she’ll return home soon!
