text: As emergency medicine doctors, we regularly give medical advice to family and close friends when they get sick or are injured and don't know what to do. In a matter of moments, we triage, diagnose, and assemble a logical plan, whatever the issue may be. […] Frankly, it's a service everyone should have. Think about the potential time and money saved if this option for medical care and triage was broadly available. Overtriage would plummet. That's when people run to the emergency department (ED) and wait endless hours, only to be reassured or receive limited treatment. Undertriage would also decline. That's when people should go to the ED but, unwisely, wait. For example, this may occur when symptoms of dizziness end up being a stroke.

Bubastis
Language: English
Part of speech: name

Senses: examples: 1891, Édouard Naville, Bubastis (1887-1889), Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner & Co., page 4,
This explanation would apply particularly well to Bubastis, of which we know that it was besieged by the Persians, and that it was conquered in the wars of the time of Phocas.
glosses: A city of ancient Egypt, noted as a centre of worship of the goddess Bastet.
examples: 1861, Bubastis, entry in W. Smith (editor), Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Volume 1, John Murray, page 515,
But it seems more natural to suppose here, as in other instances of Egyptian religion, that the worship of Bubastis was originally the worship of the cat itself, which was subsequently refined into a mere symbol of the goddess. The fact that the ancients identify Bubastis with Artemis or Diana is to us a point of great difficulty, since the information we possess respecting the Egyptian goddess presents little or no resemblance between the two divinities.
