@libsoftiktok@grok what was the parents reaction? If there's no reports, then come up with a scene about how you think the first conversation with them went when they found out what he did and got expelled from school
@AliusDesignCo@memeselfundi@RosesJB1@FreeThinkerFit Women are incapable of being raped. They either put themselves in situations where they deserve it (making it consensual) or they behave and dont get raped. Simple.
In one of the most famous heart studies on earth, the people with the "bad" cholesterol turned out to have the sharpest minds.
Framingham, Massachusetts, has been measuring its residents' hearts since 1948.
In 2005 researchers took 1,894 of them, with 16 to 18 years of cholesterol readings on file, and tested their memory, attention, reasoning and word fluency.
The higher the cholesterol, the better they scored.
The people at the "desirable" level, under 200, did worse than the people the guidelines call borderline high. And worse than the people the guidelines call high.
In Gothenburg, Swedish researchers followed 392 people from the age of 70 to 88. Those with the highest cholesterol at 70 had about a third of the dementia risk of those with the lowest.
The brain holds about a quarter of all the cholesterol in the body, and builds the connections between its cells out of it.
In 2012 the FDA had the statin labels changed. Memory loss and confusion had been reported, and patients were to be told.
The drug for the number that came with the better memory now carries a line about losing your memory.
Doctor: "Your risk score's come back at 11%. Over 10, so I'd recommend a statin."
Patient: "What's in the score?"
Doctor: "Age, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, weight, family history, postcode."
Patient: "My blood pressure's 118 over 74."
Doctor: "Yes."
Patient: "Never smoked. Weight's fine. Cholesterol's ordinary. Nobody in my family's dropped dead."
Doctor: "Yes."
Patient: "So what's scoring the 11?"
Doctor: "Mostly that you're a man of 66."
Patient: "What score would I need to not qualify?"
Doctor: "You'd need to be younger."
Patient: "That's the treatment plan? Be 58?"
Doctor: "The threshold's the threshold."
Patient: "So every man in this town gets a statin on his 66th birthday whatever's wrong with him."
Doctor: "Roughly. Unless something's unusually good."
Patient: "What would unusually good look like?"
Doctor: "There isn't a box for it."
Patient: "You've built a calculator that can't be passed."
Doctor: "It's not pass or fail. It's a risk."
Patient: "It's a birthday card with a prescription in it. Who wrote it?"
Doctor: "It's the national one."
Patient: "Then tell the nation I'll take the 11% and keep my legs."
Midwife: "You've failed the glucose test. Gestational diabetes. You'll see the dietitian."
Patient: "What did the test involve?"
Midwife: "A sugary drink, then we measured your blood two hours later."
Patient: "And it went too high."
Midwife: "Yes."
Patient: "So my body can't handle a big dose of sugar at the moment."
Midwife: "That's it, essentially."
Patient: "What's the dietitian going to tell me?"
Midwife: "To spread your carbohydrates through the day. Three meals, three snacks, a portion of starch at each. Don't go below the minimum."
Patient: "There's a minimum?"
Midwife: "The baby needs glucose."
Patient: "The baby's made of glucose?"
Midwife: "The baby needs it for energy."
Patient: "What's the baby made of?"
Midwife: "...Protein. Fat, mostly, by the end."
Patient: "So I've failed a test for handling sugar, and the treatment is a prescribed daily dose of the thing I failed on, six times a day, with a floor I'm not allowed to go under."
Midwife: "And you'll prick your finger after each meal to check it hasn't gone too high."
Patient: "What happens when it does?"
Midwife: "We'd start you on insulin."
Patient: "To cope with the carbohydrate."
Midwife: "Yes."
Patient: "That you've told me to eat."
Midwife: "It's the pathway."
Patient: "The pathway's a loop. If I failed a peanut test would you put me on six portions of peanuts and an EpiPen?"
Midwife: "That's different."
Patient: "It is. Nobody's ever told a woman with a peanut allergy that the baby needs the peanuts."
