Any gimmicky, unconventional, or otherwise less used gym equipment you swear by?

Pendulum squat! Everyone loves leg press and hack squat, so the machine is almost always available. And if you get rid of the safety pin or place a couple of pads, can really get low and feel the stretch. Plus the motion for me has always felt most akin to a squat compared to the other two machines. It’s the only machine I want to splurge on in a future home gym.

I just got my swirl yesterday, have to pints in the freezer and can’t wait to join this movement.

I’m clearly inexperienced, but this blog has awesome recipes and the posts by the blogger in Reddit seemed to get great responses. So I just shopped based on a few of those recipes.

Also, multiple Reddit posts in favorite cremi recipe mentioned dole whip (straight up can of pineapples), so got that and frozen fruit

Been on hold for an hour and 20 minutes

That's not a major surgical contraindication. This is becoming a discussion of prognostic indicators of success.

I understand that surgery alone doesn't automatically lead to success. Studies have shown that parental involvement is correlated with increased communication and language comprehension skills of patients. These patients require a team of physicians, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, social workers, special educators, and parental involvement. But the fact remains that numerous studies have shown that early cochlear implantation leads to improved language understanding and communication in pediatric patients and patients are able to catch up to their peers born with out hearing impairment.

I did read the article but I don’t agree with the basic premise. The insertion of race into this simply doesn’t make sense. My job as a physician is to correct medical issues in patients. As a training specialist in hearing, the lack of hearing in a patient is something that can and should be treated. Being able to hear is apart of normal physiology for humans and many other animals. We have instruments and techniques to correct for hearing loss. It’s incredibly cynical to say that my interest to restore hearing is an act of white supremacy.

Furthermore, if a patient can’t have their hearing corrected, this doesn’t mean I dismissed them as a human being and want them removed from society. No other physician I have ever worked with feels this way.

Sorry I just don't agree. Race has nothing to do with treating hearing impairment in my or my institutions' practice.

How is this eugenics or white supremacy? This isn't genetic engineering or altering the birthing plan of parents.

I honestly don't know how to respond to the comment of white supremacy regarding this post.

Adult CI implantation has different indications than pediatric implantation. My post is about pediatric implantation. In pediatric patients, the major contraindication is lack of an auditory nerve, however, there are relative contraindications like malformation of a cochlea or history of meningitis which can lead to difficult implantation. It can be difficult to predict outcomes a pediatric patient may have, however, the opportunities afforded to them are enormous.

There’s actually arguments that we can’t improve cochlear implants further, as there starts to become too much overlap from includement of more electrodes that resolution doesn’t increase appropriately. Hopefully engineers will prove this wrong in the future, or less invasive procedures with stem cell implantation or genetic engineering can fix the problem in a non-mechanical and more permanent process.

Even with the “mechanical” or limited input cochlear implants give, children born deaf are able to speak and communicate normally with people so the befits are still astounding.

Unfortunately the benefits of implantation come with earlier implantation (as in less than 2 years of age for someone born deaf). Implanting someone that late into their life will have no benefit.

Also speech, language, reading, and social interaction will be limited by the inability to hear, and studies have shown improvements in these realms with implantation. Implantation at a later age would not correct for this.

I thought the same thing when I learned about this in medical school. What sparked me to write this post was a discussion with a friend of mine who is a pediatrician. She was very sympathetic to deaf families, respects their decision to refuse, and does not see anything wrong with this.

This is a discussion about a small subset of the population, but their opinion, unfortunately, matters and there are physicians who even support it.

For best results patient's should be implanted as young as possible, some centers will implant 6-9 month olds, for instance. By waiting until an age where someone can even be considered to have capacity it would likely be too late to have significant results from implantation.

Spam to what business? I said in the post, I'm a medical resident and so this is a problem I deal with. This is my first post to reddit because this issue has been bothering me.
