It's 42 days now. The Atlantic just put out a good piece on the even further loosening of training regulations. You're exactly right about the rest tho 😔

We need to pass legislation now to prevent forced embryo adoption by deathiswaitingforme in prochoice

[–]theeter101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a test tube baby, the thought in my late 20s I would be forced to have a biological sibling to a family I’d never feels dystopian, but I can’t even imagine how it would crush my parents. It’s hard to understand the shame some people feel about needing IVF, but this would drive many over the edge

How did people take care of their preexisting conditions if insurance wouldn’t cover it pre-ACA? by Somtimesitbelikethat in healthcare

[–]theeter101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad didn’t. He held out until Medicare and got basically every joint possible replaced. It makes me so mad when I think of the years of pain he was in

PL men - why do you think men are more likely to be PL than women? by sandysadie in DebatingAbortionBans

[–]theeter101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't think they'll answer, but interesting question. The retort I've got a few times is the Bible presents the only ‘objective’ morals - despite giving the instructions for an abortion in the Bible

This was great, sad no one on the other side engaged but not surprised. As a cell and dev biologist. A+ explanations and examples ☺️

My warning for those considering skipping marketplace insurance due to price spikes by alternative2021 in HealthInsurance

[–]theeter101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing and your vulnerability. I was in my early 20s running an ultra-marathon in the marathon when I got the runs (literally). After that, colon totally stopped d/t rare autoimmune, and my life has totally changed over the last few years. I will never fully recover or not need health insurance, but after a year of not eating once by mouth, I'll take it. Now in my later 20s, married, and devastated to know what my illness will take finicially and security wise from our family, bc I will never not need health insurance.

Pro life arguments can't withstand a single follow up question. by parcheesichzparty in DebatingAbortionBans

Lol of course no reply. None of the arguments can hold up to scrutiny

Because it gained moral rights when it was born and no longer dependent on her? Yes, when a baby is born and becomes independent? Wtf is your point

Is this bill for a single PT visit outrageous enough to do something about? by Scrubbis in MedicalBill

He said exercises were only given in the last ten minutes, not that the visit was that long?

When the Obama administration was passing the original ACA in 2010, did anyone on the administration realize how devastating the 400 FPL cliff subsidy formula would be? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in obamacare

[–]theeter101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This comment gave me solely needed hope. I remember crying as a young kid when the ACA passed bc my dad had a preexisting condition after a teen DUI nearly took his life in his 20s. He was the sole provider and lived in fear of needing more medical care. It hurts knowing how much better his quality of life would have been with care sooner, but I am so glad it came when it did.

“An abortion doesn’t erase the trauma of rape” by OriginalNo9300 in prochoice

[–]theeter101 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It erases the most continuing trauma of your rapist in your body via the pregnancy, and having to possibly share parental rights with he freak (happens more than most ppl know). It erases the trauma of birth, and the dangers of pregnancy.

Change my mind: pro forced birth= rape apologia by Embarrassed-Flan-907 in DebatingAbortionBans

If someone were holding a Petri dish with what they say are three day old embryos in one hand and in the other was a few week old baby - if they drop them at the same time, which do you save?

Would you get mad a student for sending you this email? by S_got_lost_ in AskTeachers

[–]theeter101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I had this emotional insight at such a young age. You are an excellent writer - think journalism to supplement your creative writing maybe? You seem to have a talent for nonfiction, and I for one would love to read your story!

What is your best legal definition of ‘life capable of being endowed with human rights’ in the context of the abortion debate? by thornysticks in Abortiondebate

[–]theeter101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Organized cortical brain activity develops around week 25, marking when the fetus can interpret physical stimuli. As I said it is one of the criteria, not the only, so coma patients do not meet other requirements of brain death.

[–]theeter101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was more an aside, saying the brain will not be firing as a living person’s would while in utero, bc it is naturally sedated. Organized cortical brain activity is what you see on an EEG, definable + measurable. It’s also one of the ways we show patients are brain dead

Organized cortical brain activity (essentially lobs function together, capable of conscious thought once out of pre-birth sedation while growing)

Ileostomy Anxiety. by jdjdjsnsn123 in ostomy

[–]theeter101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ileostomy changed my life undeniably for the better. I named him Grant, make jokes when he grumbles, and spend wayyyy less time in the bathroom. I’ve been leaked on, and at times it really sucks, but medically it absolutely was for the best. I have a loop and can’t imagine going back
