Most new doctors face some form of sexual harassment, even after #MeToo
Kara Gavin write up of Frank et al., JAMA Health Forum 2024
"She notes that surgical training programs, which include general surgery and specialties that include surgical training -- such as gynecology, urology, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery and orthopedic surgery -- have the most work to do."
Anybody know anything about povidone iodine nasal spray as a treatment for #ChronicSinustitis?
Asking for a me. 😁
My chronic sinusitis mainly manifests as constant slight congestion & post-nasal drip. 9 times out of 10 when I catch a cold, the increased fluid build-up makes me susceptible to a bacterial infection....

Funny enough, evne though I agree with most of the first half, it's the Enterprise pilot review where I have to massively disagree with Steve Shives:
"Scott Bakula as Captain Archer is – well, he's Scott Bakula, he's one of the most innately likable and watchable actors to ever be on television."
No.
I don't wanna say it's because both Bakula and Shives are unremarkable white dudes in their 40s, but…
Scott Bakula is boredom personified. He is one of Enterprise's weakest links (of which there are many!), possibly the weakest, because while Conner Trineer gets to dial up the fake Florida accent and Dominic Keating gets to scowl all the time, Bakula is… just kind of there.
He looks boring, he sounds boring, he acts boring, he brings zero gravitas or passion to the role, his superpower is probably being invisible by being terminally unremarkable. Most of the time, his line readings could be replaced with Siri and his physical presence with a pool noodle and the result would be livelier than his performance.
I've heard he's done some good acting before and after, I don't know I haven't seen it, but in Enterprise, he is anything but likable and watchable.
First Officer Blow-up Doll, who is supposed to appeal to 1) horny teenagers, 2) incels, and 3) people who like to make shitty jokes at the expense of minorities
Chief Engineer Florida, whose personality is Florida
Doctor Alien Suburban Dad, who is mostly there for his disturbingly cheerful exterior, token polyamory, and homeopathy
Security Officer John Doe, whose personality is "guns guns daddy issues guns"
Helmsman Token Black Dude, who is usually sidelined after 5 minutes, unless they need him for an episode about unassimilated subcultures full of bad stereotypes who don't respect the rule of law
Comms Officer Human Translator, who happens to be Asian but that never plays a role and who mostly gets to be google translate and rarely gets anything else to do
But the weakest links are definitely Bakula, Trineer, and Keating, not always through their own fault though, because the writers just don't give them any good material.
And you can't help but notice that following shows with several female and nonwhite protagonists, Enterprise has but two nonwhite characters, both of which almost never get to do anything (not counting piloting and translating, I mean they rarely get any good character episodes).
That Star Trek went from having a black captain with his black son and black love interest, with a black security chief, an english-arabian doctor, and a central recurring plot about colonisation, imperialism, and terrorism as self-defence against oppression…
…to a ship full of white dudes whose only asian character's role is "smart about languages, martial art, usually in the background" and whose only black character's role is "drive and occasionally talk about his family who don't assimilate into society and get an episode about the rest of their subculture who violate the law to dish out street justice". And whose mission is to colonise in the glorious name of America–sorry, of United Earth headquartered in American and run exclusively by Anglo-American dudes.
And that Star Trek went from "female captain with a female chief engineer and a female protegee and two female recurring characters"…
…to "our female first officer is mostly there to be made fun of and sexualised and the other female officer occasionally gets to join in on the being sexualised. Later we put one of them into a relationship with Florida man after destroying her cultural identity, also we'll show her naked."
A veeeeeery old build from over 10 years ago, I don't even have the original pre-bordered photos, and you can tell from the picture quality just how archaic my camera phone was!
Star Trek TNG should have done more (as in, any at all) gimmick intros. After all, how much effort can it be to re-record a few lines of dialogue?
For "Chain of Command, Part II", they should have had Ronny Cox (Captain Jellico) deliver the "space, the final frontier" speech, teasing the audience as if he was gonna remain captain permanently. For "Rascals", they could have gotten David Tristan Birkin (young/de-aged Picard) to do it.
ENT did this right when they made a new intro for the "In a Mirror, Darkly" two-parter.
Continuing my random sampling of Enterprise episodes and "Sleeping Dogs" has not one, but two blunders right at the start.
For one, they denote pressure in "GSC", which the wiki tells me stands for "grams per square centimeter" (or g/cm² for short). Nothing wrong with that, but then they treat a pressure of 15,000 g/cm² as a lot – still "within tolerance", but soon to become too much for the hull of the shuttlepod.
15,000 g/cm² is 15 bar. There are household plumbing systems operating at that pressure. The idea that a shuttlepod, built for atmospheric entry, couldn't handle 15 bar is ridiculous.
Next up, the crew board the derelict ship, and everyone removes their helmets, Malcolm first. Not only do they do this despite knowing nothing about why the ship is in this state, and without sufficient ability to scan for germs or the likes, but also: Malcolm is sick. He's got the cold.
At this point, they don't know who the ship belongs to, let alone much about the biology of the owners. But apparently Starfleet learned nothing from the Spanish conquerors killing entire tribes with the common cold, even though Dr Phlox earlier pointed out that "in an EV suit you won't be contagious", implicitly ordering Malcolm to keep his on.
Oh and… did I ever complain about the LOUSY firearm safety on Enterprise?
Hoshi handing Malcolm a phase pistol, muzzle first and pointing at this chest is the least problem – right after, he takes it and holds it between his hands so that the muzzle is in his palm!
Anyway, the whole "the pressure will crush the ship" shtick is kind of undercut by the knowledge that the pressure we're talking about is negligible. These ships wouldn't withstand a power washer, much less all the sci-fi weaponry we keep seeing!
For comparison, power washers operate at pressure of 100–3000 bar (that's 100,000–3,000,000 g/cm² or GSC!), while Enterprise and her shuttlepods can just about deal with 15,000 GSC or a little more.
