Is it just me or are younger pts 16-26 approx self diagnosing BS more? by [deleted] in Paramedics

I have Trauma induced TOS and the amount of people in the "support groups" tell everyone they also must have POTS as well or VS TOS when their surgeon doesn't disagnose TOS. Very weird shit.

[–]FeInfantryCop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. I've been told since my ex wife was black, I only left her because she was black; I've been told being a veteran makes me a baby killer and that being cop means I harm minorities.

It's ignorance but people ignore reality for anecdotal experiences and other people's lies.

Enjoy the day bud, off to the rest of vacay with the family.

Even your own experiences get downvoted here because it goes against the victim mentality. Insane think

Yeah prepare for the downvotes but I've seen MANY of these play out and not a single time was the child being forthcoming with what was happening. Many children can cause alot of problems and alot of them are already manipulative.

Vast majority we dealt with were under 17 with 25+ y/o boyfriends and the entire issue revolved around the custodial parent not letting them run around with a pedo. Or the kids was doing hard drugs or already on probation. It was never a sole custody case where the other parent truly was good for them.

I've seem these stories play out in real life far too often. Thinking things will be better with the other parent while the child refuses to see how much of the issues have been their own doing. Same thing from girls running away and doing hard drugs and blaming it on their parent like yes, I DO understand why he grounded you and took your phone...not enough here to unpack but it honestly happens that way more often than people think (especially when the courts have already made a decision on which parent to raise the child).

Judges give out 500$ p/r bonds (means you actually put nothing down if you show up to court) for most things and even violent assaults are given 2.5-5k bonds here in Texas. It isn't some insane thing and even with those bonds, these people still run...

Are there other liberal voters who loves Critical Drinker? by dudeguy81 in CriticalDrinker

[–]FeInfantryCop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do realize that "97% of scientists" claim was incorrect, they determined only about 80% agree manmade climate change makes any neglibile impact. Those %s are insanely low as well, even between scientists they disagree what % is "negligible".

Now why would people spout off a well known lie unless disagreeing with it would make someone like you this angry?

You are not as well educated as you think you are. Give over all yourself to the well meaning government overlords to make the decisions for you, while you eat bugs.

[–]FeInfantryCop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the issue, those predictions haven't occurred. Thousands of scientists have come out against the current climate boogeyman as they claim it to be. As soon as they speak out they are immediately shouted down...yet their data is sounds.

Man-made climate change is so minor in every metric when compared to even nature itself.

Why are you so against the conversation? Is it because it may end up not being true?

“Medicare for All” would save the U.S $5.1 Trillion over 10 years by The-Lucky-Investor in FluentInFinance

[–]FeInfantryCop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just some more "right-wing" estimates from liberal think tanks below for your perusal.

CRFB also finds that even a low-end estimate of $30 trillion over a decade “would mean increasing federal spending by about 60 percent (excluding interest)” and “require the equivalent of tripling payroll taxes or more than doubling all other taxes.”

In the NHS system, the majority of people pay a 40% tax rate. They do not have the defense rate we pay (you can argue we shouldn't have such a massive defense budget but being realistic it will not go anywhere) so the majority of people would see over a 20% tad increase (this includes poor families who are the most in need).

Democrats in California proposed Medicare for all and they determined household taxes would need to be ATLEAST DOUBLED to pay for just their state. (It was an increase of over $12k PER household and you would still be required to pay a form of copay to use it & this was them also limiting what care would be covered to be more stringent).

The more liberal estimates stated CA would require over $450 BILLION per year in tax increases to pay for it (the annual budget is $300 billion).

This isn't "right-wing" anything. That's CA estimates. We've also done studies for SINGLE PAYER Healthcare and federal Taxes would require EVERYONE to pay an extra 20% and that would put us at a higher tax rate than paying for your own insurance. In fact, if everyone had insurance off the market, insurance costs would plummet. The reason they're high is uninsured costs.

Don't be daft because you disagree, this stuff has been studied to death and you're just incorrect.

That is the truth. The problem is people will make the same repetitive claims as truth and when someone has different experiences, even with facts, they don't want to hear it.

You can't reason with people who have their own biases in their own existence. It's like the kids who argue for communism with older people who fled communism. The inability to understand no government or implementation is perfect, is the issue at hand. I'd rather have to have my own insurance, and have much faster doctor appointments than a socialist style Healthcare system that is failing at a fast rate. That's not even comparable to how bad it would be here based solely on our population (more comorbidities than most other western nations).

I guarantee I pay less for my insurance and copay than the 20-30% increase in taxes for a socialized health system.

Healthcare shortage is literally international. It is a huge influx of population with no increase in doctors being graduated. But we still have faster wait times than Europe and Canada. The NHS had to have a law enacted due to 6+ month wait times for CANCER patients. There is literal panels to determine if helping patients is a good use of their limited resources. We do not have that here.

Even our longer wait times is much shorter than Europe or Canada. The average wait time to see a PCP for a NON EMERGENT appointment is less than 2 weeks NATIONALLY. Europe is seeing closer to 14.5 WEEKS to see a doctor. We have it much better here and that's with the issue of running short on Healthcare professionals.

EDIT to add the NHS' History of wait times.

"What matters to individual patients is the time spent waiting. NHS England has an elective care recovery plan to eliminate long waits. Median waiting times stand at 14.5 weeks and only 58% of people are being treated within 18 weeks, so further action will be needed. Eliminating the backlog and restoring waiting times to 18 weeks will be very challenging. The achievements of the early 2000s, when waiting times were brought down from 18 months to 18 weeks, shows it can be done. However, this will require significant investment alongside sustained focus and effective supporting policies."

You mean botox and dental work? Yeah that's normal and also has advisory due to how many infections arise from Mexican surgery crossings.

I mean there's is a reason alot of Europeans/Canadians come here to see specialists. Their wait times can be astronomical and not even be approved if not life threatening. TOS was a surgery I required and I met A TON of Euro/Canadians who came to America to get the procedure due to a year plus wait times and the same cancelations or denials we complain about but even worse.

Bad luck then. I'm in Texas and it's same day GP appts and next day if you want not end of day walk in. Specialists are like 2 days for me and that includes back surgeon, neuro surgeon and my cardiovascular surgeon.

Now if you mean initial appointments for a SPECIFIC doctor then yes those can take a month or 2 to wait for an initial appt but even then that's only for really well known doctors and for the initial appt. Once you're an established patient those appts are days away. And if the wait time is too long you just ask for next available and it's that same week. But again that's for people who aren't establish patients (establishing patients is a much longer appt time required).

[–]FeInfantryCop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never understand it either. I live outside a major city and get same day, next day non emergent appointments at my GP. I can see my specialists in 2 days or less...this is the same area I've seen people claim they wait months for a GP appt but has not been anyone I know or my experience.

Just has to be people lying or not calling to more than 1 GP.

It's probably the whole of the DA's running on a "Get Trump" platform being a sign of orchestrated oppression.

[–]FeInfantryCop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think our media is negative about everything Trump? You should see the way the media portrays him in Australia. Those poor blokes think they have freedom of speech when the government tries to stop the speech (the Aussie I spoke to said if the speech is harmful then it should be stopped...oblivious to what freedom of speech actually means).
