I’m sorry you have such a low opinion, maybe you heard someone venting about their job after work?
You really think lying about your drug use is safe? It’s dangerous to give many types of anesthesia if you’re on drugs or alcohol. We don’t particularly care if you use or not, we don’t tell police or family, you just need to be honest so we can do our job correctly.
Doctor here who has referred patients for transplant. No. You must be six months sober to be eligible for the transplant list. There’s so few livers to go around, they need to be sure the recipient isn’t going to just break the next one.
It’s rare to suddenly need a liver; they usually take months to fail and this gives the patient and doctor months of notice to try treating the failure first (including lifestyle changes and meds) before getting sick enough to go apply for a transplant.
We still don’t understand quite how the brain works or how consciousness comes from neurons.
You’re not the target for either; they’re meant to milk business customers who don’t care about price.
Ship dates slipped to march on day 1, not sure why this wasn’t considered selling out.
Why is this published now as news when every one of these anecdotes was published over a decade ago? This story leaves out all the better juicy details.
As does iOS for over a decade now.
I’ve been to Israel multiple times. Israeli Arabs are not allowed at the western wall and are turned away by security. I can introduce you to some of you don’t believe me.
And the Temple Mount is under the control of the Jordanian government by Israeli treaty and the Israeli military isn’t letting people in, even most rabbis have said the Mount is off limits to Jews. Not that that’s stopped extemeists from going there. The Israeli military also often bans Muslims under age 60 from visiting so you’re not special.
That’s nice excuse making. There’s YouTube videos of Israeli bus drivers refusing to take Palestinian passengers.
HOAs in America are private contracts but the Knesset passed The Admissions Committees Law (2011) which allows hundreds of small towns built on state land to select applicants based on their “social suitability”. The law is used in practice to filter out Israeli Arabs and members of other marginalized groups. The fact that the government does this is much much worse than an HOA.
It means that Palestinians living in West Bank and Gaza should be free from Israeli oppression and Palestinians living in Israel should be free from apartheid. It doesn’t mean kicking people out.
It’s more than that. You can run your own feed by selecting news stories and website articles and then share it with others; essentially being the editor for your own custom newspaper.
“I’m not addicted, I can quit whenever I want.”
I hear that all the time. Keep denying the downsides of porn.
As you’re undoubtedly aware, DSM-V is a decade old and the next revision is set to include improved criteria on dependencies (including non-drug ones) and obsessive-compulsive spectrum (which this could likely fall under), as well as adding other “new” conditions like hoarding.
It’s not censored, it’s a warning label you can click past.
Internet porn addiction is a genuinely harmful thing.
There’s two schools of thought about this. One is that porn extinguishes sexual desire and Poe replaces sex, and the other that it only feeds the desire until people actually go out and have more sex. There’s competing studies on the topic.
I haven’t yet.
Healthcare is already heavily corporatized in the US, this is just another worsening step.
Health app has encrypted data that doesn’t go to Apple without explicit permission
Mere speculation with no sources. Or Apple could do nothing.
Ah, you think you know better than doctors. Many people think this. Many have bad outcomes with nobody to blame but themselves.
I don’t care if you use cannabis, heck I can legally prescribe you some if you need it. Doctors are not law enforcement. I don’t bat an eye if you tell em you use cocaine, I’ll still give you morphine after surgery but I need to know you used cocaine so I can avoid beta blockers. You’re paranoid we’re judging you but you’re wrong. You’re not as rare as you think. We know you’re in pain regardless of your drug use and treat you anyway.
Many idiots who died in hospital thought that too, which is why we make you sign consent forms so that your family can no longer sue us for your stupid mistake.
It’s like you have no idea how doctors work and have an outdated idea of them. Your loss.
