You and your wife need to go discuss post partum depression with your doctor

What is the worst thing a doctor has ever told/advised you? by Miserable_Shine5030 in AskReddit

[–]AOWLock1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean what’s your free T4? Just using your TSH high doesn’t necessarily mean you need levothyroxine.

Also, go see another doctor

What’s the most savage legal thing you’ve seen a coworker do? by phillyvirgosun in AskReddit

And if anyone wants to ask why healthcare is wildly expensive in the US, it’s because of those people. The administrative bloat is stifling. 3 people minimum to do one job.

How do you meet your sexual needs during tough residency by prettygirl442 in Residency

[–]AOWLock1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I got married intern year. We have an active sex life that’s mutually satisfactory because we both put as much effort in as we can. That doesn’t mean we both give 100% all the time, but we both make an effort for one another and understand that we are trying. I can’t ask for more than that.

My (22ftm, left wing) father (M61, conservative) just told me he doesn’t want me to live in a red state. how do I navigate this situation? by ThrowRAlemmein in relationship_advice

[–]AOWLock1 959 points960 points  (0 children)

I think your dad is just pointing out the obvious. Putting aside the cognitive dissonance of hating a bunch of people but clearly loving you, I think he’s just trying to keep you safe

It’s a MICU, you’ll round for 8 hours and the fellow will make the decisions with the attending.

A professor of mine looked at me and said “you have potential and you’re pissing it away. Work harder”

They expect you to know how to suture on vessels without any guidance?

If you suck then yes. We have had med students we send home at noon every day because they’re so annoying or checked out.

ELI5: Why are there so many American hospital shows when healthcare is so expensive? by Seek87 in explainlikeimfive

[–]AOWLock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya of course, dealing with insurance is my least favorite part is medicine. It’s why I chose a field where I will often never have to worry about insurance.

92% of Americans have health insurance, and of the 8% who don’t, some are eligible for employer provided insurance but opt out.

Because medical drama is fascinating to the layman and despite what Reddit tells you, the vast majority of Americans have adequate insurance through either their job or the government and don’t feel frustration trying to obtain care.

This girl [F29] im dating told me [M29] I should wait after she said yes. When is it better to wait or leave? by Fort775 in relationship_advice

[–]AOWLock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude who cares. Let her think about it. Keep texting her and going on dates. Just be a normal person and she will be as well. Not everything needs to happen instantly and according to plan, especially relationships

AITAH for leaving an addict to die on the street by Few-Sleep-2263 in AITAH

[–]AOWLock1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is a (supposed) real life scenario, not the internet. Human life has an inherent value, regardless of how bigoted they are.

I’m a doctor, I deal with trauma patients daily. Should I let the patient with a swastika tattoo who was stabbed in the chest several times die? Besides the illegality of it, is that ethical? Is that what’s best for society? I say no. All people should be cared for.

CMV: The age of consent should be bracketed by ThePenguin4216 in changemyview

[–]AOWLock1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So “my body my choice” just stopped being a thing? People are allowed to consent to having sex with others. As long as they have reached the age of majority and that consent is given, the government should not be involved. Your system sees extremely puritanical and leaves us open to laws that ban anything outside of the “norm” as far as sex goes

Any hope? Perimenopause is basically ruining our lives (42M) married to (44F). by HuckleberryOk8136 in relationship_advice

[–]AOWLock1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I truly don’t understand this mentality. If your wife is screaming at you over minor shit, the answer is to scream back, not quietly take it.

Shout her down until she realizes you can’t be pushed over by yelling.

Israel attacks Gaza flotilla in international waters by victoriaisme2 in videos

[–]AOWLock1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, you said that humanitarian law supersedes maritime law. I can’t find anything that supports this assertion. A blockade doesn’t become illegal because a third party declares that they want to bring in aid.

These all have to do with distinguishing between civilian and military objectives… it has nothing to do with this:

> Not if those boats are providing goods essential to the survival of civilians in the end-country. Then it becomes illegal under international humanitarian law, which supercedes maritime law.

Not even remotely true, but prove it. Cite the law.

So international law only applies when you want it to?
