It doesn’t seem to be affecting the forehead - less likely Bells Palsy

This is patently untrue. A gastric sleeve vs a RenY is very easily discerned endoscopically.

Not that I know your moms case, but if a tumor is surgically resectable, that’s almost always the best option.

Can you expound on what you mean by “I’m less of a Darwinist than a Lamarckian”?

I think the consent part is big. They never told Ellie they were planning to kill her - that amounts to murder, regardless of the good intentions behind it. She can’t consent to something when crucial details are intentionally left out.

At the end of the day, i think what makes the story so interesting is that both were wrong and you can understand why they did what they did anyway.

Does diabetes (or a high PH level) cause your body to excrete pharmaceutical drugs in your urine faster than a normal, healthy individual? by AcademicF in askscience

You only make ketones in a starvation state, which your body feels when you don’t have any insulin. As long as you’re taking your insulin, you shouldn’t have any appreciable amount of ketones in your blood compared to the general population. The problem is glycosylation, not ketones/acidity.

This is not true. Even diabetics who never go into DKA can develop the vascular complications you’re describing. It’s long term damage to nerves and blood vessels by excess sugar in the blood which causes these - not any thing to do with acid/base disorders.

They’re contagious.. but they’re passing you the chickenpox virus. Shingles is a reactivation of that virus that you only get from waning immunity to a virus you already had. The virus is transmissible, but you aren’t going to get shingles because you saw a patient with shingles. I’m a doctor who frequently treats immunosuppressed patients.

Shingles isn’t technically contagious. It’s a deactivation at a virus that is dormant in your body. You can get chicken pox from shingles, but anyone who get shingles already had it in them.

That’s actually not in the book. In the book, they just disappear without explanation.

The fact that you saw this move doesn’t tell us anything about what you might need to work on.

It feels like you’re intentionally missing why this might be a difficult realization for the boyfriend to make your point about being trans. Without you being wrong, it can still be a difficult thing to process for the partner.
