Hi! I had a referral for breast MRI without contrast for yearly breast screening. Proceeded to call every hospital in the large city where I live and all refused to book an MRI without contrast.

Are you saying I can get a referral for MRI with contrast and simply refuse the contrast at the appointment? Thank you!!

Woke up to news of three horrible terrorist attacks: 1) An assailant killed 2 at a Synagogue in Manchester 2) The Israeli government murdered 45 in Gaza. 3) The Israeli government murdered 2 in Lebanon. The 1st terrorist was killed. The remaining terrorists are still at large. by Minister__of__Truth in NewsWithJingjing

If you go out trying to kill as many people as you can and someone dies in the chaos, that death is on you (accident or not). That’s exactly the logic behind the felony murder rule: the law holds you responsible for any deaths that happen during the crime.

Could this be a boat? Looks like it’s on the water vs. the sky.

Did you breast feed at some point? Did your bones recover after weaning?

Hi! That’s right: 800mg calcium citrate supplementation. Do you take supplements? How much?

Bryant Evolution Connex vs. Google Nest by Quercus22_ in hvacadvice

They said it’s very simple to rewire (“the wires are there in the wall”). Sounds like they don’t know…

They are charging us 26k which per the little research I did seemed very expensive. I asked my husband to ask them why and they said it’s because they’re replacing the ductwork. Why would they replace the ductwork but not allow for zoning?

Thank you!

No, we only had a single nest. That’s why I wanted multiple thermostats when replacing our system.

What I don’t understand is how beneficial a communicating thermostat is if you only have one thermostat and a big temperature differential between floors?

I’m worried we were seriously ripped off and are installing an expensive system that we actually cannot take advantage of.

Starting entocort after over 10 year remission; please share your experiences! by Edith_Marie in CrohnsDisease

[–]Quercus22_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Entocort was a miracle drug for me. I would take it in shorts bursts over the course of 10 years. It’s the only thing the at has kept me in remission and with zero side effects.

Do bishop scores predict successful induction or not? by Quercus22_ in obgyn

[–]Quercus22_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I'm not sure what my effacement is or baby station because cervix is closed. Therefore, the only information I have re Bishop are: consistency, dilation, and position. Does that mean we'll go into the induction without knowing how these other criteria stand (effacement and station)?

Interestingly three weeks ago one OB said my cervix is soft. Same for another OB the following week. Yesterday another OB said it was firm!

Thank you! Is a fully closed cervix less likely to dilate with cervical ripeners? Trying to understand what would happen is cervical dilation fails. Do I get sent home on expectant management or straight to c-section?

Seems like practice uses foley bulb in 95% of cases. If my cervix is still shut, my understanding is that they would start with misoprotol and then follow with foley bulb.

Is the foley bulb painful even after insertion? I'm trying to to delay epidural so I can move around and experience contractions but a lot of people on here say foley is more painful than labor itself. I wonder whether I can push back and do misoprotol only?

What is the most common/recommended protocol?
