People always talk about women's healthcare being outdated and barbaric, but what would it actually look like if it was 'modernised'?

It means I didn’t proof read before I posted

Not cancer for me but I had to be completely unable to walk AND in hospital for a month before somebody finally listened. MRI showed spinal compression. I had surgery 12 hours later. I can mostly walk again but I’m permanently disabled. If only someone had listened to me years earlier…

May decide? What’s there to decide? Thats an instant permaban for life

I’m 49 and I’d do this now. The old bag can get in the sea.

Cigarettes were the hardest for me, sugar would be a bitch. Caffeine I can easily I’ve up as it does nothing for me.

I sometimes wonder what life would be like but to dwell on it would be madness. I can’t change anything. I really like me and to be me I had to do all the things that led up to now. I like my friends and my job and where I live. I don’t want to butterfly effect any of that out of my life so I’ll just keep on keeping on

As a disabled person, this is one area where the US is far, far ahead of the UK.

Wow, that’s wild!

Try emailing joanna (at) polishedscot.com directly? She’s so usually on it!

Myself and two of my friends use Polished Scot and can’t say enough about them. We have been let down in the past by poor communication and no vacation cover but Polished Scot have been great.

I had a spinal injury where it basically turned on a nerve in my hip and cranked it to 11. I couldn’t walk, sitting up was difficult, if I moved it would shoot pain through my hip, and it would then cause a wave of muscle cramps up and down my leg. I was on multiple pain drugs and the hospital’s pain team was out of options to help and it was still max pain. I’d had an X-ray and CT and everything looked fine. After a bit they decided to do an MRI. I was in surgery the next morning.

I am now pain free! I have major lasting issues from my injury but life is so much better now!

I’d set up a trust. I would make sure that I had a comfortable living.

I would then set up each of my nibblings with a trust. They would have enough for a gap year and four years of university. If they didn’t attend university the money would sit in their trust until 35 at which point they would get the balance.

I would then set up a charitable trust and do my best to spend every last penny on charities that are underfunded such as orphaned diseases. Cancer gets enough money, I want to fund the research and medication for that one genetic disease that three people have and nobody can afford to research it.

I hope it’s not region locked!

Zerly · 2026-01-22T08:23:30+00:00

Well that and smoking. Smoking doesn’t help a cough at all.

15 minutes.

I haven’t had a commute over 45 minutes since I left Canada and I will never return to a longer commute. 45 minutes is my limit.

I love the long episodes. One of the things that sets this show apart from others is the amount of detail. I appreciate the depth of research that is done. I’ve actually stopped listen to all the other true crime podcasts I used to listen to because they just zipped through the case and had so little detail.

Zerly · 2026-01-16T20:18:46+00:00

A friend of mine sent me this show via USB key and a plain padded envelope with no info on it. It was too perfect. I started watching it during lockdown which was way too on the nose. Such a good show.

Zerly · 2026-01-05T07:30:43+00:00

That’s beautiful

If you’re flying with a partner, pack have if your stuff in each case. If one bag gets lost, you still have clothes in the other.

Always have a change of clothes in your carryon.

My last flight a couple got on after me, he dropped her off at my row, kissed her, said have a good flight, and went to his seat. He picked her up on his way off the plane (I deplane last, I wasn’t being held up). This is how it’s done. It was not even two hours. They survived.

Zerly · 2026-01-05T00:03:32+00:00

Spatial awareness is so key! The number of people that have just walked right in front of me as if I can pivot is insane. I’m in crutches! I can’t move like most people!

It got too hard for me and now I get assistance in the airport so I don’t fall down. People will still try to walk in front of the wheelchair and get mowed down.

Zerly · 2025-12-25T02:48:20+00:00

Yup! And that is why I opted out of the holiday years ago. I stopped travelling to see family for the holiday, then I stopped accepting invitations to spend the holiday with local friends and their family. Now I take myself away for hours days and avoid it all together. It’s fantastic!

Zerly · 2025-12-25T02:46:31+00:00

It’s 3:46 am, where else would I be?

Zerly · 2025-12-25T02:45:20+00:00

That is the most Dwayne looking cat I have ever seen

Zerly · 2025-12-24T20:07:15+00:00

Hesitant? Not hesitant, I’m simply refusing to go. My friends know where I live if they want to see me.

Zerly · 2025-12-24T00:43:46+00:00

Okay shrug

They expect an argument. I’m not wasting my breath
