It's ugly, ugly, ugly. Such hypocrisy -- "editors" who don't edit, and apparently cannot be trusted to know how language and editing really work.
And I hate "as well as" popped in everywhere b/c the doctor couldn't be bothered to read before yakking and just piles and piles it up, instead of using simple commas, followed by "and." It kills me.
And they act like a patient is limited to one disease, instead of the multi-system problems they usually have.
