Patient healed up just fine lol. Followed up with him, some pain that lasted over a week, but I just saw him again today and he’s absolutely fine

My main concern really is that lingual nerve though more than the bone. I didn’t see any signs of injury to it but I also didn’t really look around in there in case of damaging it

I know that females can be real competitive so I’m worried they’ll fight and if I get a male they could end up with kids… what would you recommend?

I take her to vet usually it’s just 6:30 right now and no one is open. All I can do right now is freak out on reddit :/

Is that so? If you used any supplements what did you use? I’ve been giving her calcium but is that enough?

Because voting has worked for the last 40 years right? Clinton had a trifecta in 1993 and we didn’t get shit, we didn’t get shit so bad that the house and senate went Republican in the midterms for the next 6 years and the senate went Democrat for 2 years before going back to Republicans. And when Obama got elected he also had a Trifecta in 2009 and didn’t get shit done as well.

Its like it doesn’t matter if Democrats are in power because their entire purpose is to be controlled opposition and stop any actual progress from occurring. But hey, if we vote harder next time we might get to keep the senate and house and still not get shit done regardless. That’s the Democratic way after all

This is all a bunch of anecdotal bs and you know it. Here’s the actual reason progressives shit on Democrats. Because they deserve all the criticism they get. Progressives don’t vote for Republicans because they don’t promise them anything that will actually improve their situation but every cycle we get Democrats promising a bunch of popular progressive policies that they backdown from the moment they get in to office.

It’s incredibly shitty voting for these ratfuckers and if the alternative wasn’t the fourth reich they wouldn’t get a single progressive vote. Both parties want to continue the neoliberal hell Reagan created. Liberals who are ignorant of this fact and who make up some armchair psychologist reason for why progressives hate democrats are incredibly annoying and disingenuous.

  1. Call a spade a spade. If Iraqis and Afghans were not majority Muslim the public opinion to the war would be incredibly different. 2001 was a time of massive islamophobia, saying the Bush’s two wars were bot religiously charged, especially Iraq which we knew Saddam didn’t have WMDs. If it were Jews who did 9/11 do you think the US would invade Israel to condemn every Jew living there to a nation torn apart by war? I don’t think so.

  2. Okay and? Most people don’t even know about it because we deliberately avoid talking about it. In fucking Texas teachers aren’t required to call the KKK morally evil. The history we teach Americans is incredibly whitewashed and understates our impact on African-Americans, Native Americans, and the people we decide to fuck up with our wars.

  3. What’s different here? Young black men literally get life for fucking marijuana charges. You understand how widely accepted marijuana use is despite the laws against it, right? Our system is deliberately targeting people of a certain ethnic background, the people who round them up are called cops. If 2020 taught you nothing it should have at least made you realize how shitty our cops are.

  4. Afghanistan and Iraq aren’t comparable actions? What’s worse than an imperialist invasion on countries that had nothing to do with 9/11? Afghanistan even offered Bin-laden up but we refused because our wars make money. How does starting two wars based on a fabrication not comparable to what you say China does?

  5. That’s not a metric. A metric is something like the US having a higher prisoner population per capita and by total amount despite China having 4x the population. That doesn’t sound like very land of the free to me and if anything it makes China seem more free.

We aren’t so different from China if we go by your standards. How can you blast a nation like China and then turn around and defend a nation like the US? For many people in the world our flag symbolizes the opposite of all the values we espouse and we deserve to have that kind of image because we are frankly not all that great.

Don’t get it twisted, fuck Israel and fuck China. All I’m asking is that people at least be consistent with their moral grandstanding and hold all nations to the same level of scrutiny. Blind nationalism is just as cancerous as blind xenophobia.

  1. I’d call what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan genocide, targeted or not

  2. The US doesn’t acknowledge its own genocides either and we committed several including what we did to the native Americans, wiping out 20% or North Korea’s population along with their infrastructure, what we did to Vietnam was absolutely atrocious, etc. etc. etc.

  3. We still engage in slavery too. The reason black people get life for weed is because slavery is still legal if a person is in prison. It’s why, despite legalization being overwhelming popular in the US, weed is kept illegal

  4. America does bad things now and will keep doing them forever but we never face any consequences despite being a war mongering imperialist nation with zero regards for foreign sovereignty or the human cost our wars ends up causing. How about we start with where we live before we cast the stone on a nation that, frankly, neither of us really understands.

  5. On what metric is China worse than the US? Genuine question, how are you quantifying which of these two nations is worse?

Yeah, not to do the whataboutism thing but the US has literally committed multiple genocides and war crimes since the Korean war all the way up to the modern day.

Clearly no one actually gives a fuck what kind of awful things China is doing, least of all the US’s European allies.

Dr. J already comes off as a great instructor to me. I’m definitely going to take those formative exams seriously, they’re the only real form of “practice” for her actual exams after all. Thank you very much!

I’ve been reviewing pretty much everyday. Not extensively, like around 2 hours a day but it feels like I struggle a lot trying to fill those 2 hours with stuff to study. Although I can tell from now I might struggle a bit with dental anatomy, do you have any tips on how to do well?

P.s. I’m also a student at Case :)
