    There was literally an entire goddamn episode about the difference between Data and a piece of equipment you gawping jackass.

      In the same vein.

      I don’t like it when people call Service Dogs “medical equipment.”

      It’s a living, breathing, thinking being. It is not “equipment.”

      Bare minimum, it is medical personnel.

        I’d assume that the main reason they’re referred to as “medical equipment” is for insurance reasons. They fall under that broad category of patient care, so that’s where they are grouped.

        If that’s true, you have capitalism to thank for that specification.

          You’re probably a hundred percent correct, based on my experiences with medical insurance.
