If you live in Oklahoma this should give you goosebumps.

Right now we have a legislature that is trying to advance bills that will make it easier for people to murder people on their property or walking in the roadway with their cars.

This "line" is still VERY real.

@erroneous_input @Nick_Marseil You don't think they could make her look worse?

[Preston Bobo, Chemgod 🦋 @Navarp]

@erroneous_input @Nick_Marseil Why would a Goddess go into battle without her makeup?
Unclear.

[Preston Bobo, Chemgod 🦋 @Navarp]

@erroneous_input @Nick_Marseil She is 41.
She looks about right for a 41-year-old woman bereft of makeup. Especially a warrior.

@MacBrennus @Nick_Marseil "Why didn't they make the protagonist in the God of War game pretty?"

[Preston Bobo, Chemgod 🦋 @Navarp]

@erroneous_input @Nick_Marseil I don't think you have ever seen a woman without makeup.

@wsuares @OKCFOX Isn't that only about $1,000 worth of domestic phone calls?
60 min/hr x 24 hr/day = 1,440 min/day
1,440 min/day x 7 day/week = 10,080 min/week
10,080 min @ $0.10/min ≈$1,000.00

If you assume 12 hours a day on the phone, it is closer to ≈$500.00

@ikonix360 @ViralReelAddict @grok It is Down Syndrome or Down's Syndrome.
If you are going to use them as your token, please at least respect them enough to get the name of the disease correct.

@JabbaTheRim @starlunalight @___TheGOOdWitch Jesus did speak on what clothing people wore.
He basically said, "It doesn't matter what you wear because you will never clothe yourself in as fine apparel as the flowers of the fields. From the kings to the paupers, you are all the same to me."

a normal person from 1995 did not want:
- USAID dismantled
- NATO dismantled
- the president to be granted absolute immunity by the SCOTUS
- the president to corruptly rug pull billions of dollars for himself

When Healthcare Harm Becomes a Predictive Lens 🚨
We know healthcare is not perfect.

Patients are harmed, dismissed, misdiagnosed, rushed, poorly communicated with, or left trying to make sense of fragmented systems.

I'll make it clear at the start- This post is NOT about patient blame.

It is about an uncomfortable but important clinical question: what happens when real experiences of harm become the dominant lens through which future healthcare interactions are interpreted?

Gabay and colleagues describe Tendency for Interpersonal Victimhood (TIV) as an enduring tendency to experience the self as a victim across interpersonal relationships.

In healthcare, that lens can shape how consultations, uncertainty, boundaries, normal test results, or psychological formulations are received.

TIV is made up of four linked dimensions.

1. Need for recognition: the wish for suffering to be acknowledged and validated.

2. Moral elitism: the tendency to locate moral rightness in the self and wrongdoing in the other.

3. Lack of empathy: perhaps better framed clinically as narrowed empathy, is when one’s own injury occupies so much space that the other person’s perspective becomes difficult to hold in mind.

4. Rumination: refers to a focus of attention on the symptoms of one's distress, and its possible causes and consequences, rather than its possible solutions.

The repeated return to the injury, the dismissive words, the medication harm, and the consultation that felt humiliating.

What are the cognitive, emotional and behavioural consequences:

1. External locus of control
2. Attributions of negative intentions
3. Greater intensity and duration of negative emotions following a hurtful event

The difficult part is that once this lens is active:

-A brief appointment may = dismissal.
-A differential diagnosis may =disbelief.
-A clinician’s uncertainty may = incompetence.
-A discussion of psychological mechanisms may = accusation/ blame.

The clinical task is to hold two propositions simultaneously:
1. Healthcare systems and clinicians can cause genuine harm
AND
2. Prior harm may also shape future perception through anticipatory threat-based models.

Treatment, therefore, also needs to address these two dimensions
