Holy shit. “We don’t use pediatricians” is the biggest red flag ever. These kids are NOT OKAY.
@LittahMem @schrott_wichtel We don't use pediatricians. The hospital where we delivered mandates one. So no, we didn't "go see her". But hopefully this will be our last hospital birth 😉.

Are we doing this again? Defending a child abuser and wife-beater??. -He was SEEN shaking Nikki. -FOUR doctors testified to the trauma.-She had FIVE+ bleeds in her head.-Roberson has been arrested SEVENTEEN times and beat his ex-wife. More in thread:.
In 48 hours, Texas is going to execute an innocent disabled man for a crime that DID NOT EVEN HAPPEN. Robert Roberson's 2 year old daughter died of pneumonia. But the state of Texas convicted her father of murdering her. Here's what happened: 🧵

The expert witnesses were clear that fracture is NOT required to have fatal traumatic head injuries - and both CT scan and autopsy corroborated severe intracranial bleeding.

On shaken baby syndrome - this is not the only way to hurt a child, and that's why most doctors say "non-accidental trauma" now. Nikki may not have died from being shaken, but she was undoubtedly beaten to death. .

And this isn't my analysis. The state has clarified that no matter what the state of scientific evidence regarding shaken-baby is, there is still clear evidence of non-accidental trauma, shaking or otherwise.

Okay, this is just factually incorrect. The prevalence of MCAS is <1:10,000. You’re maliciously eliding MCAS (a real disease with diagnostic tests and low reported prevalence) with generic atopic disorders i.e. hay fever which is common and non-debilitating.
ICYDK current DoorDash discourse was explicitly made to mock a disabled person severe histamine intolerance via MCAS (which 1 in 6 people had pre-Covid, so a common chronic illness) so they can’t eat leftovers, because other disabilities prevent them from cooking every day.

All the quote tweets of this demonstrate that, in fact, most of these situations are totally justified. We do this to stop parents from literally killing their children by denying them blood transfusions, not because of some disagreement over a vaccine.
If you’re a mother with small children you need to know what the term “medical kidnapping” means before you ever step into an emergency room with your kid, I’m being 100% for real right now.

@MugaSofer @KelseyTuoc Likely non-zero, but guideline uptake is slow, many patients are already on beta-blockers anyway, and NNTH is high. Also, some RCTs were MUCH more aggressive w drug admin/dosing, so I think effect is overestimated. I won't give a number, don't want to add misinformation.

Refusing to refer to a canon regular by his proper title, and in the same breath referring to people who don’t actually go to a church as “parishioners” is wildly disingenuous reporting.
St. Elizabeth of Hungary's altar was built by a priest and once used by a cardinal who's on the path to canonization. It's now dismantled and damaged, after the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest came to the Cleveland parish.

Calling this a crime of science is a misleading. His science and profession is particle physics. His *hobby* is race sociology. You can get academic freedom in the carrying out of professional duties but you don’t get a free pass on hobbies.

Beineke is one of the most beautiful architectural marvels of the 20th century, with painstakingly custom-milled unblemished thin marble transilluminated by daylight. This take is nonsense. People don’t ornament because ornamentation is cheap and design is expensive.
The mantra of the 20th century was to say that ornamentation has no purpose, so get rid of it. But ornaments assign ordinary things meaning. They speak to the tradition or craft that produced it.

The presbyteri vagantes phenomenon is ironically always most pronounced among those most vocal about tradition, apostolic succession, and catholicity.
My issue with Calvin Robinson is this: he constantly flies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, very good at maintaining a spotlight on him, constantly acting as an authority but never really *under* authority. Also as an Anglican he has a rather bad understanding of Anglicanism.

This is getting a lot of anti-hospital vitriol so some clarity. The hospital CT scan runs for the trauma at 3am, the stroke with medicaid, and the quadriplegic that needs 4 people to get in the scanner. The imaging center does not.
This morning, I used radiology assist in my town and found the following:.CT Abdomen Pelvis with Contrast CPT 74177.Hospital $2,541.38.Imaging Center $476.04.The imaging center uses board-certified radiologists, and the site is certified by the ACR. Always ask what the cash.

I got sucked into watching TikToks about how OTHER people use their Leuchtturm1917 notebooks for journaling, and was struck by the fact that apparently they make their journals aesthetic instead of scribbling in fountain pen about Anglo-Catholicism and what their cat just did.

MIT doesn’t have a medical school. If a trained neurosurgeon is still pulling undergrad (or research) credentials, something went wrong somewhere in between.
There's a viral video going around about an MIT neurosurgeon who quit to spend time alone in the mountains. It's such a great perspective on our broken healthcare system (and getting healthy) that I thought I'd share the key excerpt here:

Okay but is there *actually* a clergy shortage? Because every parish I’ve been to has had like 5-10 priests every Sunday between altar and pews. Sounds like a distribution problem.
The Episcopal Church’s failure to invest in ministry with children, youth, and young adults is the chief reason for its clergy shortage and its decline.

Fun fact after 10+ years of sleep deprivation, decision fatigue, and fault-resistant cognitive training, medicine fries the creative part of your brain, and makes it near impossible to read, much less write, something that isn't academia-slop.
Tldr; he became a neurosurgeon even though he didn’t like it and wanted to be a poet, made a ton of money and filled the void with cars, video games, and alcohol. Which is sad, but if he had time for video games and alcohol, couldn’t he have been filling the void with poetry?.

Most stores in low-trust countries just don’t allow self service. The shopkeeper stands behind the counter and gets you what you need. Seems like a solution for the San Francisco situation.
From Walgreens to Nordstrom, the key to a reinvigorated American retail experience is denying entry to anyone who does not pay an admission fee which can be spent towards a purchase inside the store.
