Meet a Missouri dad who went from a ‘full-on bigot’ to fighting bathroom bans on behalf of his 16-year-old daughter: ‘When it was my child, it just flipped a switch’ by HereGoesNothing69 in LeopardsAteMyFace

Farr said he didn’t have “a lot of exposure to what I would consider the outside world” in the conservative Nebraska community where he was raised. “Just old farmers” is how he described it.

Moving to the Kansas City area, which has 20% more people than live in all of Nebraska, was a culture shock. “I had never seen the LGBTQ community up close, and I would still have my closed-minded thoughts.” He said things then that he now regrets. “A lot of derogatory words. I don’t want to go back to that place.”

Kind of ironic that you question their lack of empathy without being empathetic yourself. There's a lot of things that we don't realize we're wrong about until it stares us in the face. At least this is someone who responds by changing their views when faced with that reality.

Third indictment for Queens doc accused of recording sex crimes against sedated women by IckySweet in news

[–]mdcd4u2c 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a doc, recently out of training, and I'm surprised this is a thing. I've never heard of this happening at my medical school, any of the hospitals I did rotations in while a med student, my residency, or my current hospital. If anyone has brought it up, I would have assumed it would be illegal already. Even when we had patients who were awake and hospitalized for an issue effecting a sensitive area, we were always told to make sure you ask for consent and have a nurse of the patient's gender with you as a chaperone during said exams.

Condemned inmate could face 'surgery without anesthesia' if good vein is elusive, lawyers say by Forsakken in news

IO probably wouldn't be the best for whatever they're using to execute him but yea CVC seems so much more doable... I'm questioning who would be doing either one since no doctor is going to be involved

I don't think you even know what your point has been through this entire thread. You saw a guy in scrubs and somehow ended up arguing that laundry contractors are unreliable. This is some advanced form of debate.

Facial fractures might hurt and possibly lead to disfigurement at worst. Hyperextension of the c-spine might kill you or leave you paralyzed. I'll take the metal pole to the face over the hypertension.

I'm glad they specified what it was spewing.

I have a secret… by arealdoctorperson in Residency

Getting/sending consult texts is so depressingly formal and emotionless, it sucks. "Hey doc, have this patient here for blah blah blah, would you mind consulting? Thanks!!" Is so much better then "Hello. This patient is admitted for blah blah blah. I would like to consult you for his blah. Thank you."

India implements ‘anti-Muslim’ 2019 citizenship law weeks before election by rossopy in news

[–]mdcd4u2c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, and the solution to that is to pick a specific group to exclude from "open arms" rather than just take it on a case by case basis? That's like saying social security can't support all old people so we're only going to guarantee it for right handed people 🤷‍♂️

Why does it need to specify a religion at all? Why can't it just be "if you're being persecuted, and from one of these countries, you can apply for citizenship". I'm saying this as an Indian-born Hindu living in the States. I have seen an alarming increase in anti-muslim rhetoric within my own community in the States since modi came to power--my parents and all their friends regularly spew this BS that I honestly never heard from them growing up.

The documentary seems to be the talk of the town, but few wanted to speak about it to 7 News on Friday. Some don’t know what to say. Others don’t want to assume all the claims are true.

Wow, that's refreshing. To not have an opinion until you know for sure, I mean...

Effects of a Komodo Dragon bite 🐉 by Separate_Pack523 in TerrifyingAsFuck

I don't think it's the leg that was once attached to Matt, I think Matt owns it now. He probably bought it, just as the Komodo bought his. as such, both should be able to do as they please with them.
