Book buying, scuba diving, urologist, who is a sucker for puns, cute animal pictures and new recipes. If we could all stop calling it junk and go back to calling it jewels, my job would be easier (but probably less interesting). #urology

There’s a pervasive misconception that people did something to deserve to be homeless.That they are criminals and addicts who chose this life.Society wants to punish them, and complains about having to see them in the same breath.And that’s why it will never matter how little money it takes to fix.

When moving I found a box containing my university term papers. I read them and was thrilled, and also disappointed. I wrote these?! Now I’m struggling to write this post in coherent sentences. My brain does totally different work now.

I wonder how many ICE dudes read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and thought, β€œI’d have gotten her sooner.”

🧡:
The world’s extremely poor are also often extremely remote, with limited access to healthcare & health education. In many developing countries, the governmentβ€”often with the help of the UN and, until this year, USAIDβ€”maintains health posts that bring these services to people living off the grid.

The change on #Libby from deferring a hold to having to suspend it is garbage and I hate it.

Mostly correct. They recently brought in Dental if you are below a certain level of income. Prescriptions are subsidized, depending on what they are, and degree of subsidization depends on income. Cancer drugs are covered. And just to make things more confusing, it’s slightly different by province.

We have Blue Cross in Canada, but they provide supplemental insurance.

It does. And then sometimes you get sucked into the vortex of work and the paperwork that never seems to have an end, and before you know it you’re on a first name basis with the cleaners.

I’m sorry to say this, but I think I actually had more free time as a resident than I do now as an attending*.

β€œI don’t care so much about my home town, frankly,” he said. β€œWhat I want is revenge with the regime. Not justice. Revenge.”

Maybe this is it. They want this cruel administration to do cruel things to the other cruel administration.

The fact that sooooo many men who were not participants knew what was happening to Gisele Pelicot, and yet NONE. NOT. ONE. went to the police. Tells you a lot about men, and not necessarily rich or powerful ones.

β€œNot all men…” ok, but like…A LOT.

I’m feeling very whiney today. I don’t like that. I try to be a positive person. I’m sure it’s largely dehydration and sleep deprivation, but damn.

The fact that they are going after so many different vaccines is a dead giveaway that they want disease and death

They want to live in a post-vaccination world where they can peddle quack cures and snake oil

Except there IS at least some evidence not to take ibuprofen in pregnancy (at least after 20 weeks, for reasons not related to autism), whereas there’s no good evidence that acetaminophen during pregnancy causes autism. So ibuprofen is not good substitute here.

I’m in Canada and it’s the same in so many countries. Too many loopholes for the ultra rich. It only widens the divide. These political divisions are serving them, and keep the masses focused on being angry at each other and immigration instead of angry with the increasing inequality.

Exactly. There’s a whole window of women from about 45-80 who were scared to go on it because of that now dated and incorrect information.

JEALOUS! I know what you mean though. When hot flashes started interrupting my sleep (after having quieted down for a few years) I felt like β€œno! I’m not going through THAT again!” And went on HRT. Blessed HRT.

This would be a bank that I’m constantly overdrawn on and I would love to be able to put a few extra minutes or hours in whenever possible. Totally unfair.

When Tr*mp mistreats a journalist at a press conference, all the other journalists should just get up and leave.
And they should not need to be told this.
