@flipper @benroyce@mastodon.social Sounds nice

@Nerdfest @Dianora I’m good with the status quo. I already mourned the loss of who she was, and the person she’s turned into is corrosive to my mental health…. So I don’t see any upside for either of us reaching out. I hope you can find a similar peace with how things turned out.

@ProPublica Pharmacies package prescription drugs in their own bottles. They don't include the nane of the company which produced the drugs, and pharmacies use different sources for generic drugs the patient doesn't know.

@dbattistella I didn't try to find a vein at the time because I only learned afterward why the bathroom lights looked like a goth nightclub.

@FabMusacchio @andrmr In nowadays Berlin functioning as maternity hospital part of group of campus of Charité Medical Faculty of the Humboldt University:“On Rudolf Virchow´s initiative, a fourth municipal hospital was erected in northern Berlin - in the district Wedding - between 1898 and 1906”https://www.charite.de/en/charite/campuses/campus_virchow_klinikum/history_of_campus_virchow_klinikum#c30016989@ChariteBerlin

@LaChasseuse At the very least policy to support Limited Profit Associations, a limited profit housing act like what is done in Vienna & Austria should be enacted. But this would require Canada’s politicians to recognize that profit not regulation and zoning is the root of Canada’s housing crisis. These allow housing to be taken out of the speculative market and remain outside of it. It challenges the “land & housing can only be for profit” so who what and where will it be supported?https://www.housinginternational.coop/members/osterreichischer-verband-gemeinnutziger-bauvereinigungen-revisionsverband-austrian-federation/

@sjslocombe I agree; once we've gotten into a groove, we often stick to it. Doctors are not often in an exploratory mood when they have patients to treat, and having their options suddenly limited due to one thing or another (e.g. patient's sensitivities) is surely disruptive. I feel bad that they make it seem like it's your fault, but it definitely isn't. I hope what you've now gotten works well for you.

@rayckeith @rdnielsen Yeah, it was like finding out there’s a combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen that triggers an opioid like response in your brain, re serotonin release in descending pathways. A fixed combination, typically 1000 mg of acetaminophen and 400 mg of ibuprofen, is the formula suggested as a non-opioid alternative.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39068515/Is it as efficacious as small dose opioids? anecdotally I’d say it’s close, but I worry about long term use re liver.

BUT, look at "Ebola" and "Bundibugyo". These are places in Africa, that are presumably affected by negative press related to the viruses they lent their names to. (I already mentioned the "Sudan" example in an earlier toot.) We could rename, if there only were a sufficient push, BUT WE DO NOT. Is no one advocating for these places? We quickly put the kibosh on "Wuhan coronavirus", but still we use African toponyms for these viruses. One can make similar observations regarding other viruses named after other places in Africa, South America, and the rest of the so-called "Global South".Eventually, a respondent to this thread might bring up issues of race and class divisions, but I will stop myself here for the time being.(4/n, n=4)

@ProPublica murder.

@mike @thejapantimes It is among the first reports of possible of human to human transmission. Air transmission would be catastrophic.

@DrFell ALL the time. Ticks are everywhere here. It's the only thing I don't like about Tennessee. I spray myself and check myself constantly.

Still fascinating how far humanity has come xD #opinion

@NilaJones @brianvastag It's disappointing they tried the computer games / psychotherapy intervention.Eager to hear the IVIG results.

@wychwoodnz Thanks! It's not looking encouraging - and they're investigating ovarian cancer - but fingers crossed! Hopefully I may know more soon.

@DejGuy 'Sokay, I'm not worried about this lady. My oh my what a difference a full records request to your insurance carrier can make. When I'm done, and it will take a little while, I admit, she'll either fill my meds or lose her license.

Point (2) is what then arises. The population DOES NOT grow stronger from exposure to measles. If it did, there would by now obviously be no such thing as measles! So it cannot be the case.That is logical thinking. I know there are a lot of people around who mouth the words ‘critical thinking’ but they are merely mouthing a slogan. I am talking about LOGICAL thinking, or PLAUSIBLE INFERENCE. It is a skill not taught in our universities.

@DrCassone ,Any evidence?
