You are a warrior my friend 🧡

I did try, they were like ‘we don’t have anything here’ and then it was down to ‘soo do you want to keep this appointment or try again next month?’ And I had a sitter with the kid and had taken off work so I sucked it up. Like they always expect you to. The next time I went so far as to talk to another Dr in the practice but I kept being told over and over it wasn’t done and isn’t necessary. Definitely check out the podcast ‘the retrievals’ to learn more about how women’s pain is treated in ob/gyn

Personally I’ve had numerous cervical biopsies (as in they cut chunks out of you with the devil’s scissors) and the standard of care is no numbing agent or pain medication of any kind. The dr said to give a yell if I was going to faint bc that happens a lot. I asked why I couldn’t have something and they were like, ‘dunno. We just don’t do that’

There was a documented case of a nurse stealing pain medication and injecting women with saline to cover for it and it took years for her to be caught because no one believed the women who said they were in pain. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/22/podcasts/serial-the-retrievals-yale-fertility-clinic.html&ved=2ahUKEwi1n93Yip2FAxWONlkFHStzA7wQFnoECAUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw23_e6wsBLQ7jybQBvuJOvI

I need to know more

Here’s to the year of the turtle 🐢

I love this!

YES.

I’ll add it to the list! Kiddo is 4 so we’re probably just going to go to the Korean market and see what catches their interest

Damn! I was going to say something that would make you feel bad if you don’t accomplish it but the mole people situation sounds important

Hubs is making this with rice and bok choy. It’s just us and our kiddo tonight https://nolimitcooking.com/2022/11/03/wedding-banquet-style-roasted-chilean-sea-bass/

Sweeney doesn’t want his games to be available anywhere but Epic’s proprietary shit. Which is hilarious given his crusades against Apple and Google

It said he was notoriously grumpy and she had to intervene for his workers. Its just me getting a vibe

I am not condoning keeping a man in your attic, especially if he didn’t enthusiastically want to be there, but Fred sounds like he was a dick too.

I’m still seeing so much growth in new content and communities, idk if the raw number of users is the metric we even should care about. Is it the best measure of quality?

Here’s what it’s like being their neighbor lol https://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/news/2023/11/03/epic-games-cary-hq-will-it-ever-happen.html

That’s exactly what a beetle would say
