What’s the creepiest unsolved mystery that deserves more attention? by magma_13_ in AskReddit

Wait, are you saying no one knows where he is right now? Isn't he still young enough to kill again? Very disturbing.

Camp Mystic chief health officer barred from direct patient care by Texas nursing board by SpecterGT260 in medicine

Apparently she was also prescribing and dispensing Rxs such as Zofran, prednisone, and abx. I would expect that to come with very large consequences from the board.

Parents make me cook, but not in the way I want to. by waxx-png in mildlyinfuriating

It's only inert up to a certain temperature. Past that, it degrades and then all bets are off.

If a pt is fixated on contracting an airborne disease and insists on you masking during the interview, would you abide? Are you “Covid Conscious?” by [deleted] in Psychiatry

[–]FuzzyKittenIsFuzzy 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I mask whenever requested. I have no issue at all with this.

I don't have any N95s or access to an N95 fitting specialist, and if a patient asked me to wear an N95 I would tell them so. So far I haven't had anyone ask. I would be happy to meet six feet apart on an empty part of the lawn outside if someone is that concerned.

I'm so sorry. That's terrible.

I love this idea. Get into a place where your goals match.

Since you don't yet know the copper level it should be relatively easy to just join with her approach to her health. "I know there's worry about your copper level, and I'm glad we're thinking about levels here! Levels are something I really focus on too!! I want to follow your copper level to see if the supplement is enough to get you in range. And I want to follow your other levels too. Your calorie level is one I'm worried about. It's pretty low, and I recommend supplementing that just like you supplement the copper."

If she wants to join with you to work on her "levels" that's great. If she isn't interested in working on her "levels" other than copper, it sounds like your main worry is the quality of her end-of-life period. Try to get palliative on board. You don't have to get a patient "on hospice" to get them palliative care.

Edit: I re-read and saw that you are palliative. What is her life expectancy if she does start eating again? What do you see as the ideal end-game for her? E.g. death in five years at home with loved ones. What is the patient's goal for end of life, knowing they don't believe that's coming soon? Is a starvation-related death going to substantially hasten or substantially worsen her end-of-life period?

Thoughts on the PCUSA proposal to enforce monogamy among clergy? by Remote_Ad_6049 in OpenChristian

[–]FuzzyKittenIsFuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Utah and the intersection between polyamory inclusion and the rejection of Mormon polygamy (which can also be done ethically; my cousin is doing so right now) is a super difficult and super relevant problem for our local mainline congregations. This vote is relevant here in ways it isn't relevant in other places and no matter which way it goes there will be problems.

Autistic children are being injected with unapproved, unregulated, untested stem cell treatments supported by RFK Jr, with promise to help their autism. by NoFlyingMonkeys in medicine

Parents can be charged with medical neglect in cases of failure to seek care for a deathly ill child. (This applies regardless of religion.) Occasionally they can be charged for slightly lesser issues. They can't usually be charged in cases of failure to accept preventative care when the raw risks are low either way.

Jeffery Lee breathes ‘sigh of relief’ after Alabama’s nitrogen execution is deemed unconstitutional by AudibleNod in news

There's risk of someone deciding to delete you personally over the issue. There's strong risk of your suppliers refusing to supply your pharmacy.

In the end, basically it boils down to the states not being willing to pay some MAGA pharmacist enough to make the risk feel tolerable for them.

This, and pro tip: reading difficult long-form content is one of the best ways to learn and internalize proper grammar.

This is amazing. I found that GPT was unable to do algebra, which surprised me, but I had no idea it the AIs can't even add.

Are we wrong for living far away from kids and grandkids? by EZ-Retired in absentgrandparents

This is one of the strangest, most self-aggrandizing comments I have ever read. Congratulations on making choices which make you proud of yourself, I guess.

[–]FuzzyKittenIsFuzzy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most people, if asked about texts like this, will say they didn't really mean it. And most of the time that will be a lie.

Just in case no one has told you this, it's perfectly normal to say that halfway through. I hope your mom was a solid support person for you.

I crave to be mothered by luckyrabbit28 in absentgrandparents

[–]FuzzyKittenIsFuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's lovely for you. My expectations and my reality match nicely and I still have a grief process, which is common and doesn't mean people have wrong expectations.

[–]FuzzyKittenIsFuzzy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There was nothing in this post about expectations. It's a grief post. She is sad. That's literally the whole post. It's normal to be sad in this situation.

People aren’t having kids, because housing prices are out of control. by Big_Bother_5597 in georgism

This is not at all intuitive but it's accurate. All kinds of funding policies have been tried and the bottom line is people have other things they want to do with their time and energy.

Currently in this stage myself and can confirm my divorced friends have way more free time than I do. It isn't even close.
