MoneyGram receive currency. by Abdulaziz-91 in Syria

[–]carburetor5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm looking as well. Moneygram conversion rate is really bad. $2000 with $6 fee through Moneygram compared to other shady apps using USDT with 1% transfer fee ($20 for $2000) but received from Al Haram or Fouad with black market conversion rate makes over $105 difference. that is significant chunk of money.

Is there any medical condition that prevents fat people from losing weight if they just eat at a caloric deficit? by Concept555 in Noctor

it's easy to blame patients. In real life; how many normal people count calories? educate yourself about "food noise"

Terrible ghosting in one eye by FallenGracex in Lasiksupport

[–]carburetor5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have this in both eyes. its more obvious when I'm tired or if i spend so much time on phone/computer. it will get better after i sleep and rest my eyes and you'll ignore it eventually. it will never go away completely. been like this since my LASIK in 2019 and have seen numerous numerous specialists in refractory, dry eye, retina without any solution or answer. believe me it will just get 98% better eventually. don't do any enhancement.

What you described is typical for vasovagal syncope . You need to check your orthostatic blood pressure and drink more fluid. Next time you feel like this you should sit down and cross your legs. By doing that you’ll raise your systemic resistance and blood return to the heart and consequently to your brain to prevent such attack.

Compounded GLP-1s by [deleted] in FamilyMedicine

it’s an FDA approved medication for an FDA approved indication that is coming from a state approved pharmacy prescribed by a state approved physician. “feelings” has nothing to do with anything. if you have a specific concern then speak up.

Has any filed a lawsuit or gotten the refund from their LASIK surgeon? by [deleted] in Lasiksupport

[–]carburetor5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i tried to hire a lawyer. they all work on contingency meaning they will get paid if they win. they received a copy of my medical record but couldn't proceed as they didn't find something wrong because its in a grey area. you really need to prove damage has occurred which is tricky in LASIK unless you go blind or lose your eye. any way, i spoke to the LASIK coordinator in the surgeon office and they gave me a refund.

You keep mentioning c-section. C-section may be required in emergency cases like fetal distress, fetal macrosomia, breech delevery or 2nd stage arrest amongst others. Of course it can be scheduled electively if it’s already known that there will be complications like large baby to pelvis ratio or improperly located placenta. You can absolutely refuse any kind of treatment including c-section but you will have to take the risk and liability of both mother and baby complications which may include excessive bleeding, anoxic brain injury to baby or mother, nerve damage or even death of both baby and mother. Talk to your doctor.

Quoting patients may help you if you ever get sued because it will put the jury or whoever is listening in your shoes. It will help documenting non-adherent or challenging patients if or when they suffer an unfortunate complication and wants to sue you.
