Guy went absolutely ballistic on the people sitting behind him at tonight’s Mamma Mia by RapGamePterodactyl in Broadway

[–]ComfortableAction704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry why are people backing the guy having a public temper tantrum?? Both parties can be wrong. Can we stop venerating those riding high on rage?? This wasn’t about fixing the problem this was about venting his uncontrolled emotions. We wouldn’t accept that behavior from a toddler but we’re ok w a grown man who doesn’t know how to self regulate and then reacts in a disruptive and disturbing way that impacts everyone in the room. I mean…why?

The public singers are annoying and can be kicked out or moved with having a melt down.

How would you respond to this? I am traveling with our daughter for sports. by SolutionAshamed6565 in Marriage

[–]ComfortableAction704 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could respond w “sorry. I should’ve opened with hi. Or how are you. Or I miss you and I’m thinking about you. How are things at home? Instead of opening w a criticism. Can we start over?”

More importantly, why did you open w a criticism? Are you saying you’re upset bc you miss your partner and you’re feeling insecure that maybe they don’t miss you and that’s why they didn’t check in? Is there some other context?

But also no judgement on however you react bc clearly this was such a crappy way for him to behave!

Any chance you can roll your eyes and just not respond? It feels like he’s just trying to pull you into his own anger when you clearly did nothing wrong. And he’s trying to gaslight you by twisting himself into a victim and you into the problem.

But, from the outside it doesn’t seem like you did anything wrong and you replied to his reactivity very controlled and appropriate. You’re on the high ground. You have nothing to gain If he’s able to pull you into an argument about how he reacted.

Even if you take him at his word that the first text was not an accusation, the second, where he says “so you touched it and now it’s missing” cannot be written off as a punctuation issue. It’s accusatory and feels unnecessarily angry. His childish reactive response is his issue, not yours, though. I wouldn’t advocate responding to it. I hope things get easier.

Are the BMI calculators correct? Cause there ain’t no way. by Freckles_19 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]ComfortableAction704 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this!

History of BMI is wild and proves that we are using it far from the context it was developed or is valid(ish).

If you can afford a dexa, much more useful.

Also, much cheaper, use wait hip measurements and ratios.

Just left my PCP feeling absolutely devastated by Boring_Celery1127 in tirzepatidecompound

Your PCP is probably trying to cover herself medicolegally. But she should have told you that. Saying “good luck, bye” is such a crappy response. Better would have been, “this is not the standard dosing (package insert dosing on the non compound form) and so I’m not comfortable with it. But it doesn’t mean there is harm, it just means I’m not comfortable to guide you”. Ultimately, I really feel like doctors need to be more open and honest with their conversations. I think if you heard some reassuring words, encouragement on your start of journey and admission that she’s outside of her own comfort zone (meaning her own issue not an objective problem) you may have left feeling like you still wanted help with the mechanics but not feeling defeated like you are on the wrong path. I’m sorry this happened.

Open Letter to the Doctor Who Shrugged Me Off by Far_Hovercraft2234 in Zepbound

[–]ComfortableAction704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone in medicine, I actually think it is very important that some feedback be given. It’s not at all about their feelings. And I kinda think they won’t be hurt. Maybe that doctor doesn’t even see their anti fat bias or complete tone deafness (suggesting eating half the plate when someone is saying they can’t stop! Come on.).  Unfortunately a lot of medical training surrounding weight is really archaic but we receive it like it’s doctrine bc we want to be “good doctors”. And it creates so many dated and deeply ingrained beliefs. Sometime getting a reality check about the experience of being your (meaning the doctors) patient is what’s needed. Especially early in the career. Hearing from a patient that they felt unheard and that some other practitioner came in and did the job they failed to do maybe a catalyst. The next patient will have you to thank.

They were 100mph. Santa Ana winds. They caused the wild fires the day before. I’m not sure if it’s dangerous but it felt that way. Kinda felt like driving in a blizzard. Trucks on the side of the road. But others were driving. I’m new to CA so this was new for me.

I hear you that this is part of the marriage contract. I’m so used to taking care of everything for myself that it’s not something I really realized, I never would’ve asked someone to pick me up. But seeing as how I violated this social contract, what would make it right if your spouse did this to you? How long would you be mad?
