You know, I work with a LOT of extremely mentally ill patients, and the vast majority of them manage not to commit any terrorist actions.
You know why? Because they're not fucking terrorists.
Mental illness doesn't inherently make one violent and it doesn't instantly render you completely incapable of self control. Any mental illness that might be present is not an excuse for doing terrorist things.
That's really amazing. As a nurse, I'm very proud of your wife for contributing to the advancement of treatments for all patients. I know that study didn't require her to risk anything, but I still think she's a hero. Participation in clinical trials is so helpful
Thank you for the summary. My takeaway is: So you're saying I should still get a mini LED TV
Annoyances? The last time I used AirBNB, there was literally no HEAT in the unit we were staying in. Just because it was San Diego in February doesn't make that legal. We left and got a hotel the next day and I had to fight with them to get a refund.
That's the last time I ever used the service, and I used to be a regular.
The only people who believe that wait times would be worse under a public health care system are people who don't currently need to access health care under a private health care system. I'm an American who unfortunately needs to see specialists relatively frequently and the wait times are already atrocious.
I'm a nurse, not a doctor, just gonna chime in here that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a thing:
In general, any kind of sudden changes to your normal functioning are things you should probably be discussing with a physician, even if you're young and otherwise healthy. The really encouraging news is that, if this is indeed caused by a health problem, you're young enough that it's really likely you can completely reverse it and get back to 100%. And if it's not, then no harm done by seeing a doctor and confirming that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(Also, not to scare you, but no I wouldn't expect to see that dramatic a decrease in alcohol tolerance over the course of just a couple of years at your age. I think it's worth talking to a doctor about this.)
It's amazing to me how people really believe illegal economic immigrants to the United States are just like "nah man, fuck the paperwork, trudging my way across a life-threatening desert is so much easier"
I wonder what could possibly create a positive incentive to do something so insane? It couldn't be that getting legal immigration is almost impossible, could it? Surely it's the poor people who are wrong.
Oh wait...
"Because of the numerical caps and per-country caps on certain green-card categories...as of November 2018, there were 3.7 million people waiting in line abroad for a family-sponsored green card, and 121,000 awaiting an employment-sponsored green card."

WE'RE the problem. We simply DO NOT PROVIDE a reasonable legal framework for people who want to come to the United States to do so. They're still here, mind you. So clearly those county-based immigration caps are very effective.
If we want to end illegal immigration, then we need to reform the immigration system so more people can do it legally.
Hahaha, as a nurse, I think you should become a nurse. This is a clinical skill we are taught called "therapeutic use of self."
I will selectively tell stories from my own personal background explicitly for the sake of drawing more information out of a patient, letting them know they're not alone I've been through something similar, or sometimes just a funny anecdote to distract them from something uncomfortable.
But it's never about something I'm particularly interested in talking about. It's only because it's relevant to the patient's current situation and I feel like it might help them in some way. Because, after all, love y'all and everything, but I'm at work here, not trying to socialize with ya.
And yes...it sometimes feels a little sociopathic lol
I'm really sorry. Just to offer a little hope, a friend of mine at church was beset with almost daily migraines when she hit retirement age, if you can believe that. Several years of trying everything, and a hail Mary pass trying amitriptyline of all things finally calmed them down. She still has mild symptoms when weather fronts roll through, but it's much improved.
I really hope you find something that works well for you. Migraines suck.
I don't think anyone is suggesting that Inca Dove is offensive so much as it's inaccurate, and while we're doing a mass name change, might as well change that one too.
Honestly, I wish we would just bite the bullet and do this with a lot of inaccurately named biochemistry stuff lol
No one walks out of any negotiation ever in any situation with everything they were asking for in the beginning. That's normal.
