Look up Douglas Adams’ puddle analogy?
“If you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!"
I’ve broken an arm, neck, and a leg. I’ve had gall stones (actually worse that the others). I had kidney stones and was being constantly asked my pain level and was just on my phone and calmly said ‘seven’ and they didn’t believe me, until they got the CT results of the three 7-9mm stones lodged my ureters. The nurse was confused and I had to explain to the doc on call they needed to remember that things are all relative. Once they saw my BP edging toward stroke level, they brought out the meds.
It is complicated to be honest in medicine, isn’t it.

There it is. Thanks. Couldn’t remember this little heart stomper’s name.
My baby you’ll be, or some such did me in as a parent who lost their mother. I’m not good to read that one.

All medical folks hate those bastards. The highest driver of increased prices, and only serves as the middle man.
Anyone in healthcare who are still seeing knockdown effects of the disease for long term health effects in their patients. Oh, and those who have empathy.
It likes musclecars. AUTOantibodies.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Epstein puts my morality into perspectiveEnglish
4·6 months agoI don’t … think that was a part of the conversation going right now, but I am enjoying the turn it is taking!
I’m an atheist, and that reply is kinda coming off as assholary.
Modern Catholicism has a lot to critique, but their support of science has been really good, especially compared to fundamentalist religions in the US.
As for the explanations for terms (handwaves), I’d say the Talmud started that long ago.

‘Works fine’ is not true yet, currently.
Especially annoying on steam deck. Is this a Linux issue? No. It absolutely is not.
