@carnivore_jt The article is not very clear; this sentence: "His dietary habits included a high intake of fats, consisting of 6 to 9 lb of cheese, sticks of butter, and additional fat incorporated into his daily hamburgers." does not mean he is eating this daily. This might well be over a week
@BrandonStraka She might have cerebral palsy. Despite her physical disabilities, her decision making might be intact. I would call this a very poor decision but as long as she has capacity, it's her choice.
@DOGE Please also audit local government, that's probably where most of the waste hides. Look at no bid contracts and cross reference any item/sku with market value to see how much we overpay EVERYTHING.
@karol Dry cough? Most common causes are post nasal drip (allergies) and GERD (reflux). Productive (with phlegm)? Broad differential, would recommend getting checked.
@sweatystartup This is true. Look up Gugu Liberato. One of the most famous Brazilian TV personalities of all time, multimillionaire, died at 60 because he fell doing some A/C work at home.
@PierreKory@MidwesternDoc Lovely cherry picking. Wondering if @MidwesternDoc could also refute large trials and reviews showing mortality benefits and ASCVD events with statin use. Like Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2013 Jan 31;2013(1)
Lots of people commenting that the killing of Ismail Haniyeh will disrupt peace talks. Only if you assume jihadists appreciate diplomacy like westerners. It is well established that the most effective way to negotiate with them is the Korben Dallas method.
@wideawake_media I suspect the loosening of diagnostic criteria is the main one. Before the times of ASD, autism required significant cognitive impairment as part of the diagnosis. Now, every 20 year old craving attention or victim points is "in the spectrum".
@17ThankQ Of course plenty of healthy young people need to focus on lifestyle and won't gain anything from an annual physical, but preventative care is still the best investment in terms of public health (other than sanitation). Abusing urgent care/ED is a huge driver of medical cost
@ClayTravis Women in particular have a rejection towards Trump so antagonizing and disenfranchising people because of this life choice is stupid. Having children does not automatically makes you better. Worse is having kids and neglecting or mistreating them.
@ClayTravis Sorry, Clay. To me this is another great attempt from Republicans to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. There are millions of people on the fence about coming out and voting, and this needless criticism during campaign times is self defeating. Focus on policy, border, crime
@MaxwellFrostFL I moved to this country in 2015. Despite having all "young" accounts and no credit history, it took no time for my credit to go above 750. It's not rocket science. If you are this bad with your own finances, more the reason to lower taxes.
@angrybklynmom I never knew anything about my teachers' personal lives. Partners, children, what car they drove, their sports teams. Nothing. They are not there to befriend their students and I can't see how sharing their personal lives helps someone teach math, science, history, whatever.
Attn: Democrats!
We are not in reality about "trans kids."
I am a CASA (Leftie/ Dem/atheist). I am neck deep in the population who is declaring this ID. And I know too much!
THREAD ON 'trans' kids:
1. It is important to know that as recently as 15 years ago, ALL kids
@risahoshinoMD That is so dishonest. Don't compare your salary during residency to your actual salary as an attending (which is about quadruple that). Doctors are handsomely paid compared to most professions, but if you're in it for $ only, there are better investments.
@risahoshinoMD Studies tend to demonstrate that good social support and empathy are protective against burnout. If you can't handle this career, maybe you should move into being a full time social media influencer. Less harmful for your patients.
@risahoshinoMD And you wear your n95 at all times because? Are you symptomatic? Or you believe in asymptomatic transmission? Or afraid of being infected? Who are you protecting exactly?
