  My dad grew up in NYC and when he was a kid in the 50s a doctor saved his life by coming to their apartment in the middle of the night. My dad’s family were super poor and couldn’t pay the doctor, so I guess it really depends on the kindness of the doctor.

  I agree completely because it’s super confusing for most women to find the right bra. Which then leads to women wearing the wrong size and feeling uncomfortable.

  Breast size has no affect on breast feeding. Any sources to back up your claim?

  I think this graph is useless because cup size ≠ breast size. Cup and band sizes go together to fit the size of the person. This video explains it pretty well: youtu.be/L9JZzPMHok8

  So I think the “horse is likely to bite you if you’re looking in its mouth too closely” is an assumption we both had about this phrase. I grew up in the suburbs and rarely saw horses so I assumed this phrase was about it possibly bitting. However I now live in a more rural area and horses are pretty sweet and the only reason anyone looks in their mouth is to make sure they’re healthy or figure their age. I’m guessing you, like me, also grew up not around horses so we assumed the English version means something different than it probably did in the past when horses were common place.
