This is the lemmy deep lore https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml/t/78689/I-need-to-survive-for-3-days-without-pooping-and

Lemmy has the 3 day no poop challenge and reddit definitely doesn’t, for one thing

Women obs are dismissive sometimes too. I’ve had great luck with nurse practitioners though. I had a bad postpartum infection and noone would listen to me or believe me until nurse practitioner was like oh dear garden hose of antibiotics you should NOT be vomiting multiple times a day or be oozing green goo

I boycott clothes without pockets. It’s improved my life 1000%

My 5yo would have put them there then set them on fire

My friend is a proposal manager for a non-profit. She had to advise some of her scientists to use ‘non-man person’ for a proposal for a grant to study breast cancer. I wish I were joking

I’m a contractor for uscis. We were ordered to change all instances of the word ‘immigrant’ to ‘alien’. We said ok and shrugged because our systems actually use the word ‘person’. They didn’t say anything about that and we didn’t ask

Was just worrying about this with my spouse

I contract for uscis. It’s fully distributed, there’s no way to enforce this without crippling the agency. So it would hobble the mass deportation plan. Very curious how this might turn out

Planned parenthood will do it. My ex-husband git his done there and it was very easy and cheap

‘EXEMPT’. there’s no cap on salaried employees

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!
