Did The Cable Guy give a fairly accurate representation of the restaurant/cast? Do the knights really get laid all the time?

It's pretty much part of it at this point, and it should be despite the monumental ignorance surrounding the technologies. In 2 years, my statement could be entirely wrong

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), which is unfortunately often fatal and often a missed diagnosis.
Smoking and OCPs are both independent risk factors, and in combination they massively increase your risk of dying. OCPs alone offer a 5:1 hazard ratio for PE, smoking pushes this into the stratosphere
Smoking on OCPs also offers a 20:1 hazard ratio for myocardial infarction (heart attack). I knew it was elevated, but forgot it was that high

The risk is so high that *current* guidelines are to screen for tobacco abuse and not use combined oral contraceptives in women who smoke

There are risks and side effects to using hormonal contraception
Chief one I care about is DVT/PE
Weigh the risks and benefits, talk to your doctor, definitely don't smoke. I can't prescribe OCPs to smokers. Risk is too high

I've said it a hundred times, if I wanted to terrorize an airport, I would blow up the security checkpoint. Boom, 100 people dead in an instant. Just bring 50 pounds of TNT in your bag, drop it off, walk away, call the #, and BOOM
