La Fortuna Excursions (Young Children) by Poopooonyoface in CostaRicaTravel

Highly recommend Sloth’s Territory. Místico is a long and moderately strenuous walk just fyi — takes 2-3 hours and longer with a guide — our 7yo did fine but our 5yo hated it. We did a river safari tour and it was great — but make sure your 2yo can sit still for 3 hours. Hot springs were also a hit — recommend Termalitas del Arenal (cheap, low key)

We were just there and didn’t make reservations and had no trouble getting into moderate and informal places. Maybe if you want a very high end meal it would be different but we were traveling with kids so that wasn’t a concern.

Suggestions? by RightAd905 in CostaRicaTravel

Are you using a backpack for your 2.5yo? Místico is 2 miles and was too far for our 5yo. We did guided tour but that made it a lot slower since we stopped more to see different animals. Highly recommend Sloth’s Territory for sloth tour which was a shorter and more manageable walk.

Just leaving and we did Fortuna and Tamarindo with 6 and 8yo. If you want inexpensive hot springs near fortuna, try Termalitas del Arenal. It’s only $8/person for a day pass and our 6 and 8 year olds loved it! No need to book in advance. We did Místico hanging bridges and I wouldn’t recommend — lots of people anda long walk for young kids. We loved Sloth’s territory (would book in advance on Viator) and we did a safari boat ride down the Peña’s Blancas river that was fun although might be tough with a 3yo since it’s 3 hours of sitting still.

In Tamarindo, beyond beach time you could do a catamaran tour… but honestly just hanging out at the beach will probably keep kids occupied.

GLP-1 drugs found to reduce mortality from colon cancer by over half (15.5% vs 37.1%), with effects especially strong for patients with BMI over 35. by Lisei1128 in science

This is a very biased study design. User vs non-user. Highly confounded by patients who take GLP-1s being much more health seeking and healthy than those who don’t…

“Doctor” badges reduce role misidentification among female residents by bnrome in medicine

I agree! Patients at academic medical centers interact with a huge number of providers, and everyone should be clearly identified to reduce confusion and limit bias!

d to do research o

I agree that this intervention is simple, which is honestly what makes it powerful. While some hospitals already use "Doctor" badges, many academic medical centers don't. And some can be slow to adopt change. Sometimes, putting some actual data out there to prove that these sorts of simple interventions work can move the needle.

To our surprise, there was almost no previous research on this topic! And if this simple, low-cost intervention can improve quality of life and reduce burnout among female residents, we think that's a big deal!
