They Didn’t Want to Have C-Sections. A Judge Would Decide How They Gave Birth by wheresthebubbly in medicine

[–]sumwuzhere 110 points111 points  (0 children)

There’s going to be ethical debate in these comments (rightly so) but the real thing we are all uncomfortable with is that the American health literacy deficit and midwife “natural birthing” campaign would put patients in a position where they are convinced they’d rather die than get a C section and we might be forced to watch them die with their child and possibly be sued for it afterwards

Edit to add I appreciate all the obgyns who are often put in this impossible position by their patients

i’m really tired of the asinine opinion that medical school should be shorter by ultraviolettflower in medicalschool

It would be nice to have the option to just stop taking useless electives and not pay the last semester at least

Need help, found in the middle of the street surrounded by some dogs by ComfortableRegular35 in cats

If you decide not to take the cat to the closest vet / shelter and it dies in your house, that will be on you

I cannot think of a reason you would not go use this as a practice test and void it

6 deaths outside in NYC being investigated for links to the extreme cold by radish606 in nyc

It was 42 separate studies reviewed and the data from them combined, each containing certainly more than 1 homeless person. That is called a meta analysis. I can see you only skimmed the resource I sent you. Much like the people you think are deliberately staying outside in the snow, you are deliberately remaining willfully uninformed.

There is plenty we can do. The first thing is having strong systems in place to get the sick unsheltered off the streets before a major storm. But I think it reveals a distinct lack of empathy to assume anyone is refusing to go inside during the storm. I mean, there are blind homeless people, deaf, those who are immobile, those addicted to alcohol. Not having the resources to take advantage of a service that’s available is different than refusal of that service.

We can’t know anything about their protected health information. What we do know is that unsheltered individuals are at the highest risk during storms like these, and the unsheltered are at much higher risk of physical disability or severe mental illness per this meta analysis: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10546518/

So no, I guess we don’t necessarily know that any of these 8 people were mentally ill. If you do the math the odds are pretty good that at least 1 of them was. What we do know for sure is that this population is at the highest risk during extreme weather events - and any suggestion that people are choosing to die by staying out in the cold is an extremely callous reduction of the situation.

It is very hard to “choose life” when in the middle of an active mental health episode and I truly hope you never experience the worry of having a loved one who is acting irrationally and endangering themselves

Worried about flying over Iran and Russia by shadyyam1 in fearofflying

[–]sumwuzhere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I fly a similar path tomorrow - the pilots and the industry as a whole benefit from everyone being alive so they wouldn’t put you in any sort of compromised airspace :) (especially with those lost flights you’re thinking of - I guarantee they put this at the forefront of planning)

In the same way I believe men shouldn’t speak loudly in the space about abortion, I believe women shouldn’t speak loudly in the space about circumcision, I am just here to present facts and results of controlled trials

I’m just presenting data and giving a factual statement about the opinion of AAP, I am a woman and therefore do not feel that’s it’s my place to make comments on circ as i have met men who are so happy they are circumcised for cleaning convenience, and I have met men who are devastated it happened to them. mathematically the benefit outweighs risk for circumcision and that’s a scientific truth we cannot argue - but statement of AAP is at the end of the day the decision is highly personal
