Oh fuck you, stop lying. The vast majority of Americans agree on reasonable abortion restrictions.
"When asked about the legality of abortion at different stages of pregnancy, about two-thirds of Americans say it should be legal in the first trimester (69%), while support drops to 37% for the second trimester and 22% for the third. Majorities oppose abortion being legal in the second (55%) and third (70%) trimesters."
These two women would have been able to access abortion services much earlier in the pregnancy, if they were in Europe instead of Oklahoma. This case is the kind of thing that restricting access to legal abortion early in pregnancies causes. This is the fault of the Oklahoma abortion bans

Stop lying. The massive, coordinated effort to outlaw gender affirming medical care is so much more than "a couple people feel squicky about trans ladies using the ladies room."
benefits and protections generally reserved for females
Oh I thought it was just a couple random people getting squicky about trans ladies using the ladies room? So you admit that it's an organized effort. I don't think I've ever seen someone move their goalposts in the wrong direction before lmao
Outlawing gender affirming medical care has zero impact on sports, you willful liar. No, the truth is that the people behind this movement are targeting trans people because they're the most convenient vulnerable group to rally hateful bigots around right now. Gay people are acceptable, the dog caught the car on the abortion "debate," and they need a new boogeyman to leverage to whip votes

When doctors tell a patient “It’s all in your head,” that’s medical gaslighting. Here’s how to address an issue that disproportionately impacts the health of women, LGBTQ individuals and the elderly.
The problem is the complete dismissal of subjective evidence as being a valid form of evidence. We have deified objective evidence to the point of hubris, denying the existence of anything that doesn't show up easily using our current technology. In my experience, it's less often gaslighting and more often an embarrassing lack of epistemological humility and a pretense that we are have somehow reached the pinnacle of medical technology already and have nothing left to learn.
We're here to treat patients, not test results. If a patient is reporting that they are experiencing distressing symptoms or that something is making them feel better or worse, they deserve to be taken at their word. Ignoring them because our current tests are not sophisticated enough to identify everything invalidates their subjective experience, and that's not patient centered care.
This is the real issue when people are talking about medical gaslighting. Every endometriosis patient being told for years on end that their debilitating symptoms are "normal" period pain. The embarrassing statistics on how long it takes someone with an autoimmune disease to be correctly diagnosed.
We've become too impressed with our technological toys and forgot how to see the real human beings in front of us.
Yes, but that's different from subjective evidence and I think that's part of the problem. There's a difference between somatic symptoms and subjective evidence.
We differentiate between the two all the time without explicitly identifying it as such. "Patient says the feel a lot better this morning" vs. "patient says they still feel rotten" is valid subjective evidence that we really do take under consideration when evaluating treatment response.
Onset, duration, aggravating and alleviating factors, and consistency of reported symptoms are all things that distinguish evidentiary subjective reports from somatic ones. I've walked psychotic patients through things that were distressing to them that I knew were somatic. And I've caught "real" things where the patient subjective report was really the only indication we had. It IS possible to differentiate.
Granted, this demands more time than the corporations we work for would like to permit us to spend with our patients. Which is a huge part of the problem that we should all be protesting.
Funny story, instead of referring to groups of adults as " hey guys," I like to refer to them as "hey kids." You know how many grown adults I've had object to this? Zero. Not one. Ever.
Agreed wholeheartedly. That said, Oppenheimer is officially the only biopic I've ever watched twice and will definitely watch again someday. Which makes it my favorite biopic, for whatever that is worth about a genre that I loathe.

They're game devs, not an acquisition and mergers team. "We signed contract to do business with xyz terms" should be plenty reliable enough for conducting business. Not "Lol, whut? You didn't read the fine print? Psyche! We're changing everything."
I think for what the Rural Fire Service does they should be paid, what kind of first world country do we live in where we don’t pay all of our emergency services
Does this person think working shifts are just magic? You show up at 4am on a Saturday unscheduled and they just pay you with no complaint? People just get as much unauthorized overtime as they want?
I understand that's not the kind of work he's suggesting, but it is the kind of work that the vast majority of us do. Stop trying to normalize the hustle. We need to go back to RESPECT for the 9-5 working person and pay them enough to have comfortable lives

The Philippines is dealing with a nursing shortage as countries like Canada recruit within its borders. When the nurses leave, it causes a ripple effect on those left behind in the Philippines.
I don't know that it's better; just pointing out that it is kind of how the country works right now. Around 10% of their entire population works overseas at any given time. And those higher paid workers like nurses can bring a lot of value to their families back home.
Is it right? Is it a good idea? I can't speak to that. But the country has developed an entire administration to deal with it:
Runway designs are not meant to be usable. They are artistic showpieces. Quite often they don't even have normal openings and fasteners, and the models have to quite literally be stitched into the garment.
"Fashion" happens when these art pieces are used as inspiration for the design of things that can be worn.
