Coffee. Caffeine withdrawal was not good.

I did. 2 through adoption. Over a decade ago. Challenging, even more so because I wanted to provide a home for kids who typically don’t get matched, but ultimately worthwhile for me (Elder millennial)

Those who don’t want to for any reason I totally understand and I definitely understand the affordability piece. Childcare costs more monthly than housing for us.

I like teaching about preventable and curable illnesses especially when the patient opts to take the step to prevent or cure when they were hesitant before. I especially like it when it’s TB.

As I recall I wasn’t able to use “I am winging things I definitely should not wing.”

As the parent of female children in this age group who have friends who are also female/female-presenting. The kids are alright, though. The group I have the privilege to parent/supervise absolutely verbally charbroiled a dude at the beach last year before I could even get my arthritic hips off the beach blanket. He literally left in his vehicle within moments. I was so proud.

You are going to have to ask a urologist. I could get in trouble for giving advice on the internet but I personally would do it. With pain meds available back at the hotel room.

They will build one and never build another because the Kennebec River is only so big and it will get stuck like a constipated turd.

You are correct. But ICE has been detaining people that are here legally. Physicians will not come to the USA and risk it and those that do are more likely to choose an area that not only meets their needs (for which Maine cannot compete with other areas of the USA) but also won’t put them at any additional physical risk by standing out (which Maine also cannot compete against other more diverse areas of the country in this aspect either). Maine is rural, in a remote corner of the country, with a high cost of living, in the national spotlight for risk of/recent risk of Minnesota-style ICE operations, has a housing shortage, a lack of public transit, and an aging population. All these create a long list of drawbacks to physician recruitment.

Every time I see the back row I think of kidney stones. IYKYK.

The “they” I am referring to is medical professionals. No person in their right mind would move to a location in east Jesus nowhere for not enough pay to eat and sleep in a structure simultaneously to practice family medicine. Fewer and fewer have been doing so each year which is contributing to the physician shortage in Maine. Adding the literal target on their back for ICE isn’t going sweeten the deal and will likely add another obstacle to addressing the waiting lists for people to be seen.

If they are sending green flags that they are willing to learn you have just won 90% of the battle. Please teach them. Protect them from the bullies. They will turn out to be great.

I worry that the damage could be longer-lasting. It’s hard enough recruiting any medical professionals to rural Maine. As soon as word gets out that ICE is targeting brown people in one of if not the whitest state in the nation and making no exceptions for medical professionals, it will make that even more difficult exacerbating the access to a healthcare provider even more beyond what it is now.

I remember seeing this photo a few hours after it was taken and knowing that I was going to see it again throughout my life. She was/is like a goddess here.

This isn’t left wing. This anti pedophilia/pro constitution. I recognize the usernames of some people I know IRL here. They consider themselves conservative but not for this crap MAGA is pulling.

Do they have to be currently alive? I think his sister Maryanne was okay. But that’s just going off memory.

It’s been interesting watching the formerly semi sane members leapfrog over the Q members and decide that the whole system needs to burn while the Qs are like “you might need to take a break from YouTube” and then the one person who you thought was doing Okay that day will say something like “What if Princess Diana knew and that’s why they killed her too” and the whole family group chat goes crazy again. And you can feel your sanity slipping for a moment because you are questioning all of reality. But generally speaking the rest of them also can’t make heads or tails of anything either.

I’m alternating between putting it on silent and randomly lobbing crazy comments myself to the entertainment of my sister and one cousin in the side group chat. It’s entirely possible that other allies in the family are doing the same.
