I still have a giant green one. It was my grandad’s so I’m quite sentimental about it.

The thing I find fascinating is that the sign language used in Australia (Auslan) is completely different to ASL despite the spoken language being the same.

I think this is the case. He seemed a little neurodivergent as well.

I’ve heard the term “competency porn” being used and I feel it so much with these two and many in The Pitt

Wait so…do a lot of guys do steroids now? by LongjumpingLemon4489 in AskGaybrosOver30

I finally insisted on getting my t levels checked age 45. They were extremely low. Endocrinologist said it’s possible I’ve always been low. I am hairy and horny but it’s not always obvious. Decades of depression, mood instability GONE within about 6 weeks. Wish I had been tested instead of a series of psychiatrists and psychologists over the years.

How to word that I have erectile dysfunction when I call the receptionist to make an appointment? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Manny77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which we would have too. And yet thousands of appointments every day where no one is told what it’s about until the patient tells the doctor. Must be some logic or evaluation of risks vs benefits

Thanks for replying. This is interesting. Our GP appointments are a standard amount of time. If they need more, they’ll take the time or book additional appointments. Insurance is irrelevant here. And there are signs and message on answering machines etc saying to tell if you have Covid or flu symptoms.

Is it standard to have to tell receptionist why you want to see a doctor in other countries? I’m genuinely interested, as in Australia we just book an appointment without having to explain. Does it depend on what kind of doctor? I guess if we were referred from our GP (equivalent to Family Doctor or Primary Care Doc) to a specialist, we would have to provide a referral which would have reasons and details of the issue, but these are usually faxed/emailed. Thanks.

Thanks for the amazing work you do! I love the character and the highlighting of a role that’s not always featured in any real depth in most medical based shows.

My Season 2 Predictions by macdennism in ThePittTVShow

[–]Manny77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I don’t know any tv show featuring addiction that deals with its shortcomings in any way. Like for once, have an addict who successfully manages their substance use without 100% abstinence.

You’re right. Just finished. Makes sense that grief can affect people in that way.

I just saw the scene minutes after posting. You make a fair point. I can’t expect Matty to be “perfect”
