Healthcare shouldn't have a weight minimum or weight maximum, just because a condition goes hand in hand with too much or too little weight does not mean that condition should be ignored in patients with the opposite presentation. I.e. a PCOS patient who is underweight shouldn't be having their PCOS symptoms ignored (and also shouldn't be told to lose even more weight), and an obese patient with anorexia shouldn't have their disordered eating ignored either, especially in cases of rapid weight loss in order to qualify for surgical procedures and the cardiac damage anorexia does no matter the current weight of the patient
healthcare should not have a weight limit.
hey let's start spreading the reminder now that you cannot safely self-manage an abortion with herbal medicine or essential oils. natural abortifacients function by poisoning you; you wait for your body to realize you're dying and reject the pregnancy in order to conserve resources, and hope that happens before the rest of your organs shut down.
i think there will be an upsurge soon of unscrupulous and/or malicious actors preying on desperate pregnant people; do not help them kill people. don't spread recipes for herbal medicines or ingestible essential oil mixtures that purport to cause a pregnancy termination.
And the sudoku and the little sweet treat just before bed. And actually turning down the bed. And closing down the house at the end of the day, and also soup.
you can make fun of old people all you want but then you'll be knitting with a good album on and a cup of tea and you'll be like this is excellent actually. the old ladies were right about this one. about the crosswords too, by the way
Sorry, I've been away lately, Y'all. The patients have been good and interesting, and instead of blogging about it here, I've been talking about it with my local Farrier (and living my childhood horsegirl's dream of dating & attending church with a kind and handsome farrier) so I've been a little busy, I'm also on Instagram now under the same tag. Sooooo yeah
This reminds me of recent discourse on booktok where a smut author/influencer/reader was saying the classics are inaccessible and then, as a white woman, used POC and poor people as human shields to defend why she shouldn't have to read ANYTHING but fairy smut and Colleen Hoover. She was very quickly clapped back with "I was in an underserved underfunded district all we had was the classics" "theres libraries" and "do you think Black kids aren't capable of reading or understanding classics?" And then she doubled down about how the average literacy in the USA is at a 6th grade level. And then she got FURTHER clapped back at for the fact that a lot of the classics are at 6th and 7th grade levels AND we have tools like sparknotes, internet dictionaries, and how kindles even have a built in dictionary and how most classics are available for free in both MOBI and PDF format AND in print at most libraries (school, public, etc)
