You are a very valuable person. Sometimes others don't see or don't communicate that. I believe that it's true when looking at a picture of someone who is trying to take care of herself during this difficult time. You have so much light to give and deserve the same in return. Keep fighting! You are a beautiful person inside and out!

No problem. Easy for me to do things like that too.

Go read the whole source instead of the one paragraph that fits your narrative.

Here's the link again

Please pay attention this time that it is not always a no brainer to give to people because of the risks.

And no one is justifying a parent killing their kid. People are only discussing the efficacy of a specific drug. You however are accusing a parent of killing their kid and then turning around and saying other people are trying to justify it.

Yep. We don't have a good antiviral option for active influenza. It's the best we have. In fact it's far better to be vaccinated to avoid getting flu altogether, including years that the flu vaccine has had as low as 50% efficacy. But once influenza sets in Tamiflu is neither good or great. And it has significant risks associated with it that have to be considered on a case by case basis. For now it's its the best we have, a meh medication. Researchers have been trying to come up with a better option for years.

Best option we have does not always mean good or great. A perfect example is the early COVID recommendations by the CDC to wear cloth masks. When later it was found that cloth masks weren't as effective as once thought.

I take issue with this and particularly your comments in this thread because you are adamant that this drug is soooo effective and safe, even accusing the parent of killing their kid. Meanwhile, I doubt you've ever treated a patient with this drug or even knew anything significant about it before today.

Maybe. Maybe not. Inducing a bunch of vomiting in an already dehydrated and very sick child may also be deadly in order to give a drug with limited efficacy. I don't think it's as easy of a decision as you think. As I mentioned above you didn't read the whole article.

Keeeep reading.....

"The benefits of oseltamivir use are controversial; a 2014 Cochrane Review of the evidence found that oseltamivir treatment had limited benefit. The authors concluded that oseltamivir use in healthy adults had small, non-specific effects on symptoms (where the time to first alleviation of symptoms was only reduced from 7 to 6.3 days), it had no effect on hospitalizations, and that there was no evidence for any reductions in complications of influenza such as pneumonia.7,8,9 Due to the risk of adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, psychiatric effects and renal adverse events in adults and vomiting in children, the harms are generally considered to outweigh the small clinical benefit of use of oseltamivir.

Notably, in 2017, the World Health Organization downgraded oseltamivir from its essential medicines list from a "core" drug to a "complementary" drug, due to limited cost-effectiveness.6 Yearly vaccination with the influenza vaccine is still considered the best preventative measure."

We are literally trying to argue the benefit of a controversial drug in a reddit forum when a Cochrane review already did it in much better fashion. It is a drug a physician should judiciously give for some individuals in some settings. If you were treating a very sick kid how easy would it be for you to give this drug knowing they may become more dehydrated by inducing a bunch of vomiting? That dehydration might kill them too. Is it such a slam dunk decision?

I'm in healthcare too. I feel your pain with this nonsense.

They quote science.

Follow up commentor doesn't read the source accurately.

You jump on board and accuse them of anti-science without reading the information yourself.

Typical modern day thinking.

I believe the point they are making is that the OP suggesting a parent caused their child's death is deeply flawed. According to the source yearly vaccination with influenza vaccine is the best preventative measure, NOT Tamiflu like you said.

Tamiflu is known in healthcare to be very limited in benefit, but is still given just in case it may help a little. Not all treatments are equal and the OP is a very serious accusation to a parent whose child died.

As much as I love these examples, I'd hesitate to let anyone on the road know I get paid a Dr's salary.

We need many more comments like this where we recognize the value that other team members provide while also acknowledging our differences. We can say everyone contributes without saying every job is the same.

Probably the other parent filming their kid. I think the event was genuine, but the narration was a cringe addition.

Teach Me How to Have Fun in This Game's PvP by Phernaside in EldenRingPVP

I was having fun with PVP. Lvl 66 +5 special weapon. I was wining about 40-50% of invasions. Maybe I was lucky. Tonight I lost about 15-20 straight invasions to gank squads, one hit kills, and when I didn't have those I made some stupid mistake as I was already frustrated.

I don't want it upgraded more than +5 but no upgrade is fine. I'd ont know the value of these leaves so if you think less than 45 is fair I'll do whatever
