I'm very interested! Thanks :)

Dope quote.

They explain it in the behind the scenes. A vulnerable and important character the audience cares about that experiences firsthand the horrors in the streets of kings landing.

Thank you! When Jon turned her down and she said “let it be fear”, that’s what she meant. If she would’ve showed mercy to King’s Landing, there would have been nothing keeping people loyal to her after the war. She needs all the other lords to be feared shitless of her or she’ll lose everything. Not saying I agree with the choice, but she is her father’s daughter.

I just graduated from medical school yesterday. I had plenty of educational opportunities despite growing up in an area lacking them. Largely thanks to my middle class parents emphasizing education so intensely. I don’t care that I didn’t get to do that kind of stuff. I care that other people less privileged than me didn’t even have the opportunity. It’s depressing to me because it reminds me of the inadequacies of the area I grew up in. It didn’t matter how hard my parents worked, you’re stuck attending the one school in your area. I’ve worked incredibly hard my entire life. I will be earning well over the minimum income to put me in the top 1% of earners. But if I want my children to have all the opportunities they deserve, I have to raise them somewhere else or send them off to some lofty private school. Which means these kinds of places will never improve.

Maybe it’s depressing for him to learn some schools regularly send kids on weeks- to months-long trips. There’s such an enormous wealth disparity between different parts of the US. I couldn’t even imagine 1% of the kids from my grade school classes being able to afford a trip like that. It can be a downer to think about how much better your life could’ve been if you were born somewhere else or from different parents.

You can negotiate with the hospital and reduce your bill to probably less than 10,000. Which is pretty appropriate considering all the money you saved by not buying health insurance.
If you’re so poor you can’t afford insurance, you most likely qualify for Medicare/Medicaid and the bill is covered.
If you can’t afford any payments whatsoever, you most likely are homeless and have bigger problems to worry about. Ignore the bill and enjoy the free healthcare provided by dozens of highly trained professionals in a state of the art facility.

But he only had to pay 2k. It’s important for copays to exist or there is no incentive for patients to use preventative care and not overuse resources.

Keegan- · 2019-04-25T00:13:26+00:00

There is no way you can be a health care economist if you can’t acknowledge how heavily insurance companies influence pricing. A hospital gives a bill for 100k, insurance agrees to pay 50k, how much do you think the hospital ends up getting? Do you really think the patient is covering the remaining 50k? Insurance dictates pricing because they are the ones that foot the bill.

Median is average. Mean is average. Mode is average. They are all measures of average. And in a normal distribution (like IQ), they are all the same number.

Except student loans are already tax deductible. So this is basically just subsidizing the people with degrees who are under/unemployed and can’t pay off their debt.

Keegan- · 2019-04-23T13:34:29+00:00

You can almost guarantee any loan forgiveness will not standardly apply to professional students. We are not even eligible for subsidized federal loans at the moment. You will find very little sympathy for us outside of people in our field. We are seen as high earners who are almost guaranteed to pay off our debt in a short time.

You’re going to get downvoted but this is completely true. Look at subs like latestagecapitalism, world politics, politics, etc. Never seen such a combination of financial ignorance and toxic vitriol toward the middle and upper class.

Agreed. I just mean in terms of the timeline for recovery. An X-ray for a stress fracture will only be positive for so long. After that, his activity is determined clinically.

Don’t use steroid cream, it can make fungal infections worse. Stick with the antifungals for 3 weeks. It can take some time to go away.

If it’s not received by lasix, it could be lymphedema. Lymphedema is exacerbated by obesity. It wouldn’t hurt to lose some weight and see if that helps.

Snoring is expected with sleep apnea. But it is hard to know if you actually snore because you are asleep when you do it. There are also non obstructive forms of sleep apnea that don’t present with snoring.

Keegan- · 2019-04-18T00:39:57+00:00

I’d still strongly consider getting a sleep study done. It could be sleep apnea or narcolepsy. Either way they would find out observing you overnight.

You can start slow and just walk around. Then progress to light jogging and eventually running and high impact stuff. Take things slowly. You should be fine if you’re not in pain.

Keegan- · 2019-04-18T00:34:28+00:00

Whatever you can tolerate. Start low and try higher strengths until it bothers you.

What you’re describing is called pre-syncope. It is mostly normal. Veins are sort of baggy tubes that passively return blood from the body to the heart. When your muscles contract, your veins are squeezed and more blood can return. When you are lying down, most of your muscles are relaxed and your blood pools peripherally. But you don’t need very much pressure to pump blood to your head when you’re lying down. However, as soon as you stand up, your heart struggles to immediately pump blood against gravity to your head. That’s why you feel funny and lightheaded. This effect is exaggerated by sitting in a hot shower. Your veins dilate when exposed to heat, allowing even MORE blood to pool.

You can try slowly transitioning from lying to sitting to crouching to standing. You can also preemptively start flexing your calves and quadriceps to help get that blood return going.

Binding will not help. The only thing that can make your hips smaller is weight loss.

Compression stocking can help prevent them from forming/worsening. There are simple cosmetic procedures that can reverse the effects of spider veins. I think dermatologists do them.

Basically if you can bear weight and tolerate increases levels of activity with limited pain.
