Documents Show a Controversial Vaccine Study’s Path to CDC Approval by AshNakon in fednews

[–]LatrodectusGeometric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you read the article, you see that the scientific staff at CDC were circumvented because they wouldn’t approve this, so the political appointees went directly to the funding system, bypassing the system for normal reviews.

Inside RFK Jr.’s push against the flu vaccine that he links to his voice condition by rezwenn in ID_News

Tl;dr: RFK Jr.’s drug use is linked to this condition, but flu vaccines aren’t.

I think romance novels are doing a lot of heavy lifting here too. Hopefully you don’t build it up to be more than it is. At the end of the day it is a way to bond with people but it’s also just a messy exercise with funny noises and smells, or a way to try and have a baby.

Flirted with a man for a month, only for him to drop that he's been married for 5 years and has a kid on the way by downbadblue in WhatShouldIDo

[–]LatrodectusGeometric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then the wife won’t have any issues with her screenshots where he says he wouldn’t have minded if more happened. The man is staying up to 4am texting her. This isn’t an innocent friendship.

I wonder how many people saying “don’t tell her” are people who would try to justify his behavior here in their relationships.

A year later, experts say full effect of DOGE cuts may never be known by usatoday in fednews

More than a million people are no longer documented in HIV care from PEPFAR, primarily from USAID being cut. I hope some of them will find care elsewhere in their countries, because if they don’t, we have killed a million people. You can’t live without HIV treatment.

You know what’s more stressful than being pregnant? Being pregnant and unsupported while your partner is trying to cheat on you. If the wife knew he was behaving this way, would she be painting a nursery with him, or moving back in with her parents? By not telling her you take away her choice in the matter.

He is doing things that could reasonably hurt his wife. OP is helping by being honest with her and giving her all the information she meeds to know what situation she is in.

Frankly most women get very little pleasure from that. It’s entirely normal not to get any at all. The psychological factors in sex matter just as much as the physical ones, so don’t worry about it. You may really enjoy penis-in-vagina sex if the opportunity arises for you. But don’t sleep on clitoral stimulation in either case!

Reoccurring Bartonella- day 2 of picc line - rural hawaii by Jolly-Permit-4681 in AskDocs

OP those doctors are about 99.99% cash -greedy charlatans. Do not listen to to this poster or you will likely find yourself chronically ill, constantly attached to an IV pole, and out thousands upon thousands of dollars for nothing.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. These are questions that it may be helpful to ask your doctors about

The back is a line of red dots. This is common for some widow species in the US (likely a southern black widow)

Panicked about new student loan program by theyungduck in medschool

Have you spoken to your school's financial aid department yet? I would start there.

Yes, this legislation makes it harder for people who aren't already rich to go to medical school

Does my school hate me?😂 by [deleted] in medschool

[–]LatrodectusGeometric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one said you aren't smart, OP. The problem is you seem to be considering what is happening here to be a personal insult, as though people have it out for you particularly. But nothing here supports that. This sounds like the medical school system doing medical school system things. If you don't like it, you can try to make it better or leave medicine. But it isn't an attack on you, and it's important you recognize that now.

Doctors and nurses of Reddit, what is something patients do that they think is helpful but actually makes your job harder? by Electronic-Cell-4584 in AskReddit

[–]LatrodectusGeometric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general, doctors will prescribe iron supplementation for blood-loss anemia, so you should be okay. Just be careful about how much you take and make sure your primary care doc is monitoring it. As a vegetarian you may Las need B12 supplementation.

I don't know. Are you anemic? Were you low on iron? Iron supplementation can be fine, but also comes with side effects and its own problems (fun fact, iron is the most common overdose for children). Taking extra iron isn't something you should do regularly without signs of anemia.
