when patients get their blood pressure taken at the doctor’s office, the doctor requires you to sit, legs uncrossed. But what would happen if we stand up to get our blood pressure taken? can we stand? or do we have to sit? And why?
I believe it has to do with not obstructing the flow of blood returning from the lower extremities any more than necessary, to give a more accurate pressure reading at rest. If you’re walking or running, alternating muscle contraction helps to pump the blood upward, but if you’re just standing, the general muscle engagement to keep you standing can slow it. But I could be wrong about this.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Martin Shkreli, known for once hiking the price of a life-saving drug more than 4,000%, cannot return to the pharmaceutical industry after a federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld his lifetime ban....
No, that’s not the only reason he’s in trouble. It’s true Big Pharma definitely does bullshit all the time but it’s reductive and ignorant to claim that’s the only reason he was punished.
Doesn’t matter, because generics were finally made available despite his efforts to prevent it and maintain a monopoly. They’re free to price it at whatever they want as long as they make it available to makers of generics to allow competition. Preventing that process and making excessive profits since they blocked alternatives, while making it difficult for patients to access who didn’t have enough insurance coverage, is the main reason he got such penalties.
there are a lot of options for keeping people connected that dont require a phone like matrix, xmpp and a much bigger etc. so if someone wanted to ditch their phone and only use their linux laptop, would that be possible?? thank you!!
You would still need a internet source, but yeah. The hardest part would be getting a virtual phone number that qualifies for receiving account text messages when necessary. Or using apps that inherently tie themselves to a phone number.
Oh good, someone had suggestions. Thank you, I’ll keep these written down for when I need an anonymous voip again. The last ones I used suddenly became disqualified for what I was using them for. Hadn’t gotten around to trying replacements.
Unfortunately, that’s one that got banned for a few services. Obviously not all, good to hear it still works for some, but for others you enter a gvoice number and it tells you it’s not eligible. (At least it did, maybe something has changed and they’re working again, it’s been a while since I tried it.)
My favorite part is the idea that horrible damage suddenly happens in your 70s and 80s, as if decades of long term use can’t possibly add up to something.

Why are we required to sit down when getting our blood pressure taken? Would the results be affected if we were standing?
