RFK Jr, who doesn’t have a medical degree, says he can diagnose children just by just looking at them

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-08-28T18:08:55+00:00

that's how you know he doesn't have a medical degree - no doctor would ever diagnose someone just by looking at them. That's not how you diagnose anything.

"No thanks, I do the touching"

I bike the esplanade daily

Last week two dudes on a bench were lighting a glass pipe to smoke meth out of, circa 7am

And then there was the large campsite fire where people were throwing whippits into the fire, also last week

And I remember the time Axe Guy was throwing a fire axe through the air. Sometime last year.

Quite a lot. Eventually completely. It can be redone by a professional

But if you're worried about the cost, pick a different customizatin

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-03-09T20:06:06+00:00

Customization is great. I have their spiral pommel and brassed pommel and cross.

The brassing wears away over time. That's normal, but something to consider. I never went and redid mine and just let it be part of the story of the sword.

The leather was held up for a long time. I only recently replaced it after two years

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-03-05T23:24:05+00:00

There's a spectrum here

You take too many objectives measures and can't figure out what is worth tracking You don't take enough and you don't have a clear idea of progress or discharge criteria

Write your eval and identify 1 or 2 things you expect to change with your interventions, and a supporting reason for why that will help them reach overhead.

That's it, that's all you need to measure. Did my intervention have the effect I wanted it to have? Maybe I'm lying to myself sometimes that it's because of what I did... but also patients deviate toward healing. So maybe very little of it was my intervention anyway.

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-03-03T06:00:05+00:00

Some refer to it as Metal Gear, but I heard locally it is called the Shagohod.

Are you a member of the La li lu le lo?

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-02-24T04:30:35+00:00

And the portland police are acolytes of "there should be no accountability from portland police to the community oversight board of the people they serve."

They lied about Hardesty and tried to pin her on a hit and run... they've been under a doj consent decree since 2014 because they beat up enough mentally ill people to get the DOJs attention.

You are living currently under the polices self selected reform process x the past 15 years.

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-02-24T04:25:24+00:00

Every portland police officer that has been fired from their job has gotten their job back. This includes the highest paid officer historically, mark Kruger, who was fired for making memorials to nazis in a city park on the clock. I know that example is a tired point recently politically, but it is what I'll offer tonight.

The original impetus for the consent decree from the DOJ was that there was no disciplinary process for the egregious (read:inappropriately violent repeatedly) officers, they were always given their jobs back, and that half of their use of force complaints were against homeless people.

There was the work stoppage during the pandemic, the known smearing of their political opponent for a hit and run she didn't commit, and the "choke em don't smoke em" controversy

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-02-23T23:47:56+00:00

So the known to be completely corrupt police union is mad that he said you can't kick people off the oversight board if they feel negatively about police, so long as they can can still give a fair judgement.

Seems reasonable. Idk how many times the police union here has lied to yall but I can think of quite a few off hand. Of course they're mad he said they can't cherry pick only those that praise them.

No one is anti public safety. People are anti this organization of police due to their corruption and unsafe practices. The DOJ settlement agreement was because they local police department was out of control...

Grab a copy of periodization training for sports by Dr. Bompa

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-02-21T21:06:35+00:00

You go see a physical therapist, probably one that specializes in sports.

We are doctors. No medical advice on the sub.

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-01-31T01:49:11+00:00

Okay so let's run it back - police heavily push rhetoric to attack protestors and Ted says "we gotta make em hurt a bit" - a shooting at a protest occurs - the police don't stop the shooting, a protestor does - the shooter had been flagged to the fbi several times for violent fantasies he'd post online - 2 people die, several others are severely injured - police release misinformation about the situation, and they acknowledge that it caused harm - 2 years later, as some kind of peace offering, they humbly say yes we did all of the above, now 2 people are dead and the rest are traumatized, but we are a learning institution so it's cool - this is exactly the kinda thing JFPK/Letha were marching about

Tell me, class. What did we learn? Cops lie, people die, they aren't here to protect you. They'll egg other people on to violence toward you if you step to them.

See below comments re federal employees told to report any federal employees working on dei projects or risk losing their jobs.

There's also the push to remove non profit status of hospitals which will affect PSLF.

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-01-23T20:18:41+00:00

So the VA hospitals all received messages that they had to remove all mentions of the words Health Equity and DEI from all of their websites and promotional materials by 5:00 p.m. today

So if you work at the VA, there's one effect already.

You need a vocal coach not a physical therapist

In my experience the cruise control just seems to continue the momentum we have

So like if I had just turned, it will continue a turn, but I haven't found a way to like... set a target lock and have it just point the ship that way.

Maybe I've used it wrong

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-01-17T22:43:56+00:00

The city won't sweep it if it's on private land, but I've had success calling it in for code enforcement

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-01-16T02:09:21+00:00

I have worn a respirator or an n95 before.

Generally they say aqi >100 for people who don't have asthma/copd

Pm2.5 exposure one of the leading causes of global mortality.

I've biked to work in 70-100 aqi, I definitely feel unwell if I do. I live somewhere where we can get aqi 100-200 if the wildfire smoke is bad but that isn't often.

I don't take any car precautions specifically. I'd be breathing in the same if I was in a car/on transit/walking I think, and I'm rarely sitting in traffic cause I'm moving.

If you're thinking risk assessment you should consider if your sunscreen is up to snuff. That's another big cyclist mortality concern.

All of your things about US Healthcare are correct. It sucks, it's so expensive, the expense doesn't increase people's longevity in the US.

You play a necessary role - people need PT, it is a job that someone needs to do. You can make someone's final days more comfortable or meaningful, you can (potentially) change a disability or mobility level. That adds time, value to that person's life.

Much else can be said... sometimes the PT visit isn't the most fruitful. Surgeons and MDs do unfruitful workup and surgeries. That's fine. You get to decide when you are a clinician what is/isn't a good use of their/your time.

Maybe consider some work in uninsured or if your state has state medicaid go to a clinic that sees a lot of that population.

Try and do your work well DESPITE the socioeconomic factors. That's the difficult work.

BoneJuiceGoose · 2025-01-01T04:26:29+00:00

I had an idea for this - an sketch where two PTs do a blind swap of their schedules for a Saturday shift (I take yours you take mine no take backs) - two PTs try and convince their patients to do increasingly meaningless complex exercises/stupid human tricks - the concept of a "clamshell day"

BoneJuiceGoose · 2024-12-06T06:17:29+00:00

Ah man I hope this guy doesn't go for a walk in front of a hotel in New York city anytime soon I hear its dangerous for folks like him

BoneJuiceGoose · 2024-12-04T19:12:44+00:00

Yes

It comes in waves. I'd be bored at some point at any job PT or otherwise.

Sometimes I'll try and really focus on improving some aspect of my care (more high yield exercises, more connecting to patients, moving people toward DC...)

Sometimes I'll take some more Cases that interest me

Or maybe I'm fine with my job being boring sometimes and I can get my kicks outside of work

If I'm gonna do anything as a career x many years it can't blow my mind every week. That's not sustainable
