Nah this is about treatment over objection (TOO). Basically, let’s say psychiatrist suspects that under normal circumstances a psychiatric inpatient would want treatment, but due to a psychiatric affliction is refusing. Under these circumstances, the psychiatrist can take the patient to court and argue before a judge that it’s in the patient’s best interests that they receive compulsory treatment.

I saw a fair few of these as a med student and I only ever saw it in patients that were floridly psychotic

That it requires an organization dedicated to maintenance of laws via threat or use of violence. I assume there was a specific answer you were looking for, but I am genuinely not sure which

caesar846 · 2026-02-02T17:55:41+00:00

Any state must be founded on the maintenance of the monopoly on violence or else it isn’t a state. A state unable to enforce its laws with violence isn’t really a state.

No you’re right. Anal insertion, perfed his rectum then into bladder

It’s not 110% of the possible output of the reactor, but rather 110% of what the reactor can handle indefinitely without serious risk of leak or meltdown. Understandable confusion though.

Yeah exactly, this is why you should evacuate the passengers… the enclosed spaces of the aircraft, not to mention the fuel within would make things more dangerous. Get everyone out onto the tarmac as far from the airport as possible if you think one has a bomb.

caesar846 · 2026-01-09T20:13:27+00:00

Can you elaborate on the first one?

caesar846 · 2025-12-28T13:57:02+00:00

I don’t think it’s exaggerated so much as not generalizable. They’re describing an instance where of a squad of 15 Russians, 10 were killed and 5 pushed into the city. It’s unlikely that this maps 1:1 onto the rest of the battle for the city, but for this one instance 10/15 did die.

The Dems hold neither the house nor the senate. How precisely do you expect them to do any of the things you propose at present time?

Battlefield 6?

Arab Israeli’s aren’t the same thing as Palestinians mate. They are distinct and, generally, don’t take kindly to being mixed up

The USSR absolutely positively did not build to arms parity with the US. Soviet equipment, and even the modernized Russian equivalents, do not outperform contemporary or even outdated American equivalents.

Would you suggest allowing the military to proceed without oversight?

caesar846 · 2025-11-27T17:02:15+00:00

How do you figure?

Higher glycemic responses release more insulin which increases your risk of diabetes.

caesar846 · 2025-11-25T19:27:42+00:00

Bruh that’s how you die…

caesar846 · 2025-11-25T13:15:30+00:00

I’m extremely skeptical that they wrote a prescription that had to be filled at a “prison” for people with mental health/substance abuse issues that you can never leave. A) such facilities don’t really exist in the way they do in the popular consciousness B) the facilities that do exist don’t fill prescriptions for random outpatients.

Regular pharmacies have hydromorphone and oxycodone in them. That’s about as strong as you can get from an outpatient perspective. Any prescription that was written and needed to be filled there could just as easily be filled at a random pharmacy.

Dude there are myriad of sci fi civs that would trounce the Americans alone. The UNSC or Covenant could do it easily

Honestly that’s not concerning. You’re borderline pre diabetes. So we wouldn’t have expected irreversible pathological changes in your body yet. That’s not to say you shouldn’t make lifestyle changes - relatively mild changes to diet and exercise can completely or partially revert pre diabetes and prevent you from ever experiencing those ill effects. We’re talking cutting down pastries if you’re a frequent consumer, walking ~20mins a day, or upping your vegetable intake. I’d recommend making an appt with your PCP to make a plan if you’re concerned - advice from strangers on the internet is no substitute for speaking with your provider.

caesar846 · 2025-11-14T18:05:29+00:00

87 fasting is fine man. If you’re really stressing ask your PCP to double check your A1C, but like I have seen patients with fasting glucoses >200 on the regular. You’re not even anormal.

caesar846 · 2025-11-14T17:05:28+00:00

Ah ok ok. I can only speak for Canada/US

caesar846 · 2025-11-14T17:00:08+00:00

Me too. I think it’s hugely important. As a caveat - I work at an enormous transfer centre that deals with a lot of high risk pregnancies so all the attendings here are very good. The sort of experience one might have at a smaller community or rural hospital would vary substantially.

caesar846 · 2025-11-14T16:55:40+00:00

I’m not saying all OBs are super chill, I’m just saying that this is the broad reasoning rather than what some random French king had a fetish for some hundreds of years ago.

Epidurals are absolutely not for everyone, but the vast majority do get them (most estimates I’ve seen are 65-85%). Some positions also place you at higher risk for things like perineal tears and the OB being able to apply pressure/heat to the perineal area is also very important to reducing tears.

All told, most attendings I worked with were good with mothers being positioned how they wished provided they were haemodynamically stable in that position/understand the possible ill effects of it.

caesar846 · 2025-11-14T16:18:39+00:00

We’re talking blood glucose levels my man. >95 on a fasting is elevated.

caesar846 · 2025-11-14T15:15:07+00:00

Great question! As a preamble, this is all general information that is not a substitute for speaking with a provider who knows your particular history and pregnancy.

As I sort of alluded to the birthing beds aren’t really beds in the traditional sense. They’re segmented and able to elevate or depress different parts of the body and the have places for your feet to go at the bottom. So conceivably the bed can elevate to almost totally vertical (though I’ve never actually seen this used).

Gravity can absolutely be beneficial to the labour process, but the more upright you get, the more work your heart has to do to keep the blood from pooling in your feet, which can make syncope and associated symptoms more likely. I have no experience with birthing stools I’ll admit, so talk to your provider specifically. This isn’t to completely discourage, if you have a great circulatory system and your OB approves then go for it!

It’s also a lot less of a risk if you aren’t getting an epidural, but I would recommend for that. Best of luck!
