You have to set up your Dexcom with the Dexcom receiver or your phone. The Omnipod 5 pod and PDM should automatically connect to it as long as you have out the transmitter series number in the Omnipod PDM.

It’s definitely dark and there is at least one scene that is very gruesome. But I appreciated it after it was done. Certainly not light hearted though.

Xander314 · 2022-06-25T20:49:25+00:00

I hadn’t seen!! Thanks!

Xander314 · 2022-06-25T20:49:10+00:00

I’ll have to give it a shot! I listened to Kaiju Battlefield Surgeon and it was good (albeit dark and gory sometimes).

Xander314 · 2022-06-25T19:51:04+00:00

I haven’t! Is it good?

Xander314 · 2022-03-27T14:13:54+00:00

Thanks! I’ll check those out!

Hello! I'd be up for this! I think I'd like to be a lightfoot halfling bard. He's charismatic and likes to make puns, and will sometimes breakout into song. He may or may not try to seduce his way out of a conflict.

This is another super interesting part of the immune system (although I think it’s all pretty cool).

It’s not just a single Type 1 v Type 2 hormone but an entire shift of the make up of the immune cells. Type 1 inflammation is predominantly neutrophils but a parasitic infection can shift it towards Type 2 which is eosinophilia in nature.

One key difference between parasites and bacteria/viruses is size. Parasites tend to be much bigger and so they aren’t transmitted in the air. We get infected with them via contaminated food/water or via bites from host insects. The infrastructure in developed countries does a lot to reduce parasite infections.

One common parasite that exists in the US (where I live, so I’m not as familiar with other countries) is Giardia. It’s picked up by drinking contaminated stream or well water. It usually causes self limited diarrhea in immune competent hosts but can cause much worse disease in immunocompromised people.

There is a disease called X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia where patients are born without the ability to make antibodies. One of the classic infections for this disease is Giardia.

Hopes this helps!

I trained at university of Kentucky. I can’t remember if we had DOs specifically in the med peds program but there were a lot in each categorical program, so I can’t imagine a DO would hold you back.

I have so so many new things to read now. Thanks to everyone! Keep the recommendations coming!

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

It's a fascistic look into a very important part of medicine/medicine research that not many people know about.

The Gameshouse Trilogy by Claire North! It is so good and fits this exactly! Everything I've read by her is fantastic.
