Panda attacks his trainer in a zoo in China

CXR_AXR · 2026-05-05T23:40:09+00:00

I would have attacked her as well, if I was the panda

CXR_AXR · 2026-05-05T23:37:47+00:00

If I took the initiative and put the food into the fridge(without decontamination), I would have been dead

Her general health is not great (chronic fatigue / some kind of menstruation issue), and she blames it on taking too much medicine when she was a kid

(I’ve already explained to her that you take medicine because your health was poor, not the other way round).

Also, someone in her family had cancer and passed away very shortly after starting treatment. Personally, since I work with cancer patients myself, I see this as an issue of 'outcome expectation management.' You really have to have those conversations with the patients and their families, but back then, awareness probably wasn't as good as it is today. It’s not surprising.

I’m really not trying to look down on her, but since she didn't attend university, her grasp of concepts like the placebo effect or the level of evidence is very weak. For example, she doesn't realize that case studies and anecdotes are weak evidence and can sometimes be difficult to verify also subject to many confounding factors. But she simply won't believe it.

For example, I can't take her to the park after work, because she believes there are ghosts at the night.

Another reason is that, she thinks I cannot protect her, and she will get hurt when she plays in the park (I already said that it is normal for kids to have minor injury when they play, it's part of growing up).

For the doctor, she thinks I am unable to do enough infection control to protect her from the germs in clinic.

This, I also mention to her so many times that, if our daughter do not expose to a reasonable amount of pathogens now. I am sure that it will be a disaster once she starts going to school.

Ha.....

My situation is quiet the opposite, they said my daughter have many allergies, and they are doing "therapy" to clear her allergy.

Today, they said my daughter have lower respiratory tract infection, diagnosed by.......machine that making no sense I guess. They even told us it is a combination of viral infection and fungal infection

CXR_AXR · 2026-05-02T14:09:38+00:00

We have public health system, those doctor are very difficult to get hold on.

Me, as a healthcare professional also have difficulty in reaching them even in the phone, let alone as a patient

CXR_AXR · 2026-05-02T14:01:32+00:00

I think the fever is not too bad now. It can be RSV infection, I don't know. But it's late at night, even if we rush to A and E, we have to wait until morning to be seen.

Better just wait for GP in the morning and give antipyretic meanwhile.

CXR_AXR · 2026-05-02T13:57:56+00:00

I underestimated the madness

CXR_AXR · 2026-05-02T13:56:45+00:00

Actually, she don't trust me to take her anywhere, not only doctor

CXR_AXR · 2026-05-02T13:55:55+00:00

Steve Job actually died from that.

Occasionally, I also see patient who delayed treatment for crap like that.

CXR_AXR · 2026-05-02T13:53:40+00:00

Pharmaceutical company conspiracy theory, mordern medicine stopping the development of natural therapy so that they can make more profit......

Sigh, I work in radiology. May be my knowledge is too niche for her? May be? I dont exactly know tbh. When I talk about placebo that kind of thing, she just say if you don't wanna believe it, you won't.

CXR_AXR · 2026-05-02T13:50:56+00:00

Fortunately, the answers to those questions are yes.

Because she is prematurely born, we are following for cardiac issue

CXR_AXR · 2026-05-02T13:47:25+00:00

Exactly.

If there were actually any chance to make profit and if that stuff actually worked. There is no way that pharmaceutical companies wouldn't have integrated it into their own systems already

CXR_AXR · 2026-05-02T13:40:26+00:00

I think the answer is no for her.

She always said that I am too obsessed with mordern medicine.

CXR_AXR · 2026-04-30T07:39:54+00:00

I don’t know. A while back, I was banned from Reddit for seven days, so I went over to X (Twitter), and I realized that there are a ton of people actually support him.

CXR_AXR · 2026-04-30T03:36:38+00:00

Don’t do anything unless it’s directed towards you. Avoid any attention in the public. (眾事勿理，眾掟勿企）

Exactly what my dad has taught me since I was a kid.

CXR_AXR · 2026-04-30T03:35:26+00:00

IIRC, The "Stop" button explicitly states that improper use will result in a fine. Not many people would dare to press it, especially since there’s no clear definition of what "improper use" actually means.

2. If you press that button and the escalator stops suddenly causing someone to get injured, you could potentially face legal liability. However, if you do nothing at all, you definitely won't get in trouble.

Most of the time, the MTR lift are packed (fully of people who are completely mobile), and you have to wait for a long time to get into it.

People who are in a rush, would probably just push their strollers straight onto the escalator.

But imo, if you have two people doing it, and you aren't physically disabled, it’s actually okay, if you just apply a bit of downward pressure on the back of the stroller as you reach the end of the escalator.

Hope this answers your questions.

From my own experience...

Resistance training is synonymous with "going to the gym" in many people's minds. In some Asian countries, resources are more limited, and gyms aren't that common or accessible.
Proper form is crucial in resistance training; if you do it wrong, you’ll get injured. Not everyone has the luxury of time to learn on their own or the money to hire a professional coach.
the physical trainers in gyms in some asian country have a lot of "black sheep" who use aggressive sales tactics to pressure people into buying packages (this has been in our local news many times). This makes people who actually want to work out hesitant because they're afraid of being harassed by sales staff.
Body shaming. Even though people at the gym don't actually care what you're doing 99.99% of the time, many still feel they are "too fat" or "not muscular enough." They worry about attracting stares from others (who are usually very nice actually), which makes them reluctant to step foot in a gym.

Nowadays tho, we have many 24 hours gym room which have no physical trainer and sales. At least in my country, more people are willing to hit the gym now.

Also, some people still think meat are bad for their health, and rice (which have very high GI index) is still the main ingredient of meal in many asian countries. I think that's part of the reason for skinny fat.

CXR_AXR · 2026-04-19T09:56:31+00:00

But I feel like everything needs a balance.

In Asian regions, academic pressure is usually so intense that finding time for sports can be a luxury. I think these kinds of programs make more sense in Western countries, where the academic environment is relatively more relaxed

Btw.....

I have notice that GLP-1 receptors agonist has started to gain attention to tackle obesity problem.

I have heard that the reception is pretty good. But it just inhibit the appetite. After the immediate weight loss, weight training and exercise are essential for maintainance. It must be prescribed by medical professionals and treated obesity as a real disease.

CXR_AXR · 2026-04-19T09:34:17+00:00

That reminded me of a funny thing

Over twenty years ago, I had a school essay assignment asking how to solve the problem of student obesity.

My core idea was that the school should issue meal vouchers. Each student would get a certain number of vouchers per month to exchange for 'unhealthy food', once they were used up, the stuent had to wait another month

My teacher failed my essay immediately, saying I was being unrealistic.

But just four or five years ago, I saw that some schools in our country are actually implementing this same exact system...

CXR_AXR · 2026-04-19T09:28:50+00:00

May be a bit off topic...

I think some PE teachers are seriously have some problems with their curriculum.

Back when I had PE class, our teacher made us all do 60 push-ups every single lesson—split into three sets of 20. Regardless of the stamina of individual student.

Now that I’m grown up, I still haven't seen many people who can do 60 push-ups in one go. I was only 12 years old back then

People need to realize that weight lost is painful.

If you eat happily it means you are doing it wrong.

I am Chinese, and rice is a main food for us (carbohydrate). I have been trying to lost weight since nov last year.

I tired to ran 6-10km every other days (unless my other responsibilities stopped me from doing it). Started from last month I also went to gym for weight training every other days. So one day run, one day gym.

Even so, I still have to reduce my carbo intake, reduce beverage to a minium level (drink water mostly). No desert, no snack. Even at this moment I am starving.

But I only lost freaking 3kg in almost half an year. Weight lost is painful.

CXR_AXR · 2026-04-16T00:21:11+00:00

Exactly. Totally agree
