I think the more autistic folks we have the better. Logical, brilliant, atypical thinkers with greater capacity to solve problems and be geniuses sounds like we should do more to create autism not less.

As a gastroenterologist it was only fitting that my costume was pepto bismol. Happy Purim!

Is there some place where each state knows if there is actual bird flu or just a really fantastic regular flu surge right now. Everyone in NJ seems to have flu or have just had flu. Are there waste water tables to find.

Good mom of 4 devastated by fires in LA. A legit story, one of many. Help if you can. I did.

To care for him I wore an n95 for first few days and then Friday left mask behind. Norovirus really sucks. Hoping it is contained but this bug lives on surfaces for 4 wks or more so ๐Ÿคฎ still at risk.

Given home care due to IVF shortage with bone broth, jello, Gatorade, pretzels for salt, bananas, apple sauce, Lipton noodle soup and on day 4 started a probiotic yogurt tiny dose daily. Was very close to needing an ER visit due to severity of symptoms.

His case was marked by low grade fevers, chills and voluminous loose bowels. Thankfully spared of vomiting so far. Sunday symptom onset. Wednesday symptom peak. Thursday fevers over. Friday woke in cold sweat likely viremia over. Started solid food again. Saturday exhausted but tolerating orals.

And so norovirus has entered our house. Contained the suspected index case to his own room/bathroom. Lysol use daily on all surfaces. Hand washing with soap and water. So far only 1 of 4 impacted.

So does anyone know how to communicate with the drones over New Jersey. Iโ€™m thinking we should play some bonjovi and set up some cool lights.

Before everyone goes all hating on United. I have never had United healthcare. But with my other insurer. My daughterโ€™s NICU stay was denied. My nieces ER visit for asthma attack was denied. My own broken leg surgery was denied. Itโ€™s the system that needs to be fixed.

No, still not okay to murder someone. Take them to court. Change the system. Write new laws. Arbitrate. Negotiate. Build competitors. But no violence.

Bowel habits are a natural process and a healthy poop brings joy to all. For sick patients or constipated ones, restoring bowel function is incredibly uplifting as many prayers are answered๐Ÿ˜Œ. We can do colon cancer screening with it and prevent cancer. So many blessings from ๐Ÿ’ฉ, forgive our ๐ŸŽ„cheer.

Exclusive | UnitedHealthcare CEO fatally shot outside of Hilton hotel in Midtown in possible targeted attack: sources The CEO of UnitedHealth was fatally shot in the chest Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown in what police say was a targeted attack.

United healthcare may not be doing the right thing all the time, but this is not how to resolve issues in healthcare. Violence against health care clinicians, nurses and staff needs to stop. nypost.com/2024/12/04/u...

Thank you for having any focus at all on menopausal womenโ€™s health. Itโ€™s amazing that more funding and research does not go into this population. And since this simple intervention effectively reduces UTI symptoms itโ€™s also good for stewardship at the same time!

Whereโ€™s the use of vaginal estrogen to reduce symptoms in general in elderly women and restore tissue function. @ashleygwinter.bsky.social can you amend this a touch.

Agree. If you touch a bat. See a bat in your house. Think a bat hung out with you or did anything directly bat related. Go see a physician after the exposure to the bat. Donโ€™t wait for symptoms. Just see a doc.
