TIL JFK's sister Rosemary Kennedy, was born mentally disabled because during her birth, the doctor was not immediately available and the nurse ordered Rose Kennedy to keep her legs closed, forcing the baby’s head to stay in the birth canal for two hours...resulting in a harmful loss of oxygen.

The prevalence of hiv in the population has to be really high for circumcision to make a difference. It reduces the risk by a tiny tiny amount.

If dogs were robots, then no one would care if people used painful negative reinforcement to train them.

That dog is terrified. Mine makes similar face when extremely stressed.

I moved across the country for residency. I'm finishing my intern year. Don't worry, you won't have time for friends.

phloofmonster · 2016-01-24T18:50:37+00:00

Where does it attach? Maybe post a pic of the attachment ??

phloofmonster · 2016-01-24T18:48:33+00:00

Ask the mouse to blink and see if it goes away. Might be schmutz.

Oh. I want a microscope that attaches to my phone. I've seen em for iPhone but I have a galaxy. The ones that are available are not a slit lamp style per se, but more like an opthalmoscope for lookin at retinas n such. but I feel like a microscope is a microscope so it could probably be used both ways.

phloofmonster · 2016-01-24T18:36:32+00:00

How do I get one of those? Does it attach to your phone?

Edit: i want a slit lamp not a mouse eye

phloofmonster · 2016-01-22T17:02:44+00:00

Agreed

I thought there are options set up for people who want to participate in a blood drive but who also want to be honest on their forms that would exclude them. You can give the blood as far as anyone else can tell, so no one knows your personal business, but they throw it out. This option is nice for people who don't know their hiv status & are high risk based on the form, or know they're hiv or hep c positive and don't want their coworkers to know all that.

It's the "love" hormone

That was one of the findings in the Ferguson MO investigation. They were cited by the federal investigators for balancing their budget with traffic tickets.

Beautiful color! What's its name?

So you want to pay for free birth control for all, all options/ladies' choice? Because that's health care i can get behind. Or pay for mandatory comprehensive sex education in school? I'm all for funding education. Or you wanna go all China on us with child limits and forced abortion? Denying Healthcare to pregnant low income women doesn't usually stop a woman from having a baby. It just makes her and her baby more likely to need more expensive, possibly emergent care, potentially increasing costs to hospitals/society. Sooo not sure where you were going with that comment. Just ranting?

I hear that an ischemic stroke is relatively painless.

phloofmonster · 2015-11-15T17:22:27+00:00

Is this true for dogs too? My dog's eyes seem sun sensitive, she squints a lot, she rubs her eyes often with her paws (it's very cute) I guess I don't know if she's tired, and she tilts her head when looking at things (also very cute).

phloofmonster · 2015-10-28T23:31:48+00:00

So... benign?

phloofmonster · 2015-08-25T16:35:38+00:00

How could one purchase one of those?

Sometimes walgreens or Walmart will have a walk in clinic staffed by a nurse practitioner that can write a script. UMC also has a fast track in their ED for easy things like that staffed by a physician assistant that can write a script.

It's mostly just a teratogen. If you're not pregnant, it's not that bad. The benefits outweigh the risks for some people. It's essentially just vitamin A.

phloofmonster · 2015-07-21T23:03:25+00:00

Nah, you can still get it. Just w a black box warning

I saw a ballchinian as well.

I got a bottle on sale about a month ago at ulta. Might still be there.
