I would also love to see a sepia color scheme option in addition to the dark/light mode. The less harsh contrast is nice on eyes.
I think because that to minimize damage for a full acute withdrawal. As I understand it, benzos increase GABA that is depleted from alcohol, because NMDA recovers more quickly and is excitable, causing the twitching, seizures, etc.
This seems like a slow wean off with social and housing support to replace the dependency on alcohol. Kind of makes a lot of sense.
I can also confirm two countries in South America that allow this as well.
The risk for complications due to chronic hypertension is well known by now, and screening would be nice to increase because of this. But are we just accepting that children have more hypertension now? Should we investigate and address root causes? Is it due to increased childhood obesity or high cholesterol? Chronic stress? Could we improve those to lower blood pressure in the first place instead of just screen and prescribe?
As someone who cares for elderly people sometimes, please please fill out an advanced directive (not just a living will). It’s a sort of “if this, then that” for health scenarios. It’s immensely helpful when when caring for someone not well, and can be much more stressful without one. I have had dying, incapacitated patients wait weeks for guardianship or POA-HC to be processed before care can be changed to comfort measures, because they did not have one on file.
Get one from the hospital you would likely go to, fill it out, give them a copy, keep a copy, and give a copy to who you list as a decision-maker. You do not want to add the stress of logistics to an emotionally difficult time.
I think as a society we should embrace death more. Pretending it doesn’t happen just makes things worse when that reality of mortality unwaveringly stares you in the face.
Try Lemma if you’re on iOS. It’s very smooth and has the right balance of features and simplicity imo.
Picture of tents camping. The text shows: “You can’t run through a campground. You can only ran, because it’s past tents.
Side note, is this because the image isn’t loading or for visual impairment?
For the sake of argument, what percentage are aimed at improving quality of life (not extending someone’s life)? I assume most or all are intended as treatment, but I’m curious.
Thanks for the tip for the chamfer. Someone else mentioned that too, so I’ll definitely try that and see if it can reduce the tearout. Im not sure if I’ll put a finish on it, but maybe I’ll try linseed oil. That seems minimal and this whole thing is an experiment anyway haha
I also forgot to call out the Mod Zone. That is pretty nice, so I dont need to switch back to mobile browser every time to check for reports.
The only feedback I might suggest on the favoriting is that maybe instead of both favorite and unsubscribe in the same direction, make favorite swipe right and unsubscribe left to avoid accidentally unsubscribing.
Im especially excited for the sepia theme and additional comment cascade options. I think they really change the whole way my brain organizes the content.
Make sure to take breaks and don’t burn yourself out. Projects can be exhilarating but I’ve seen so many people push to meet all the demands and then exhaust themselves.
Thanks for the insight, I may need to try that
I also work 3x12s and mostly love having the 4 days off. The downside is being able to do virtually nothing on those days besides eat and sleep. I think one advantage of the 9-5 week is being able to still do a few things more often. It’s hard to practice hobbies and maintain the house with gaps on days that I’m working.
What you value changes slightly as time goes on. Having the more consistent day might be more appealing now. And if you dont like it, there are always nurse jobs that are in need. Maybe there is something in between the hospital and that gig, like dialysis nursing. Worth a try.
