Everyone remember this post next time you find yourselves wondering where incels got the idea that they're entitled to women's affection without any effort on their own part.

Internal medical ethics controls do a pretty good job of dealing with this kind of nonsense though. You're never going to get rates of that kind of insanity to zero, and legal regulations don't make it any better.

It's based on likelihood to succeed and remaining useful life. I've had a patient in their 70s receive a kidney transplant. Ability to attend medical appointments and adhere to prescription drug regimens play a large role in approval for transplant. And I've personally witnessed major transplant teams go out of their way to help patients overcome obstacles like transport to medical appointments, affording meds, in an effort to get them ready for transplant approval.

Honestly, I wish all medical care could be as hands on and holistic as transplant is.

This is actually how it's handled in a lot of electronic medical records. There is a different indicator for sex/gender assigned at birth and current gender. I've not seen a specific indicator for intersex, but I've not encountered an intersex patient so far in my career.

Hahaha, he's great. Jimothy is one of his most common side characters. And he uses your naming convention for lots of his other side characters. Jimothy, Todrick, etc.

I believe you have been watching too many Dr. Glaucomflecken videos, my friend.

Massachusetts Medicaid (called MassHealth) is the single best health insurance plan I have ever had in my entire adult life. I genuinely wish I could opt out of my trash United HealthCare plan that my employer provides and go back on MassHealth instead.

Swapped out the head unit on my 2016 car for a touchscreen that supports Android Auto. I got spoiled using a similar one in my friend's rental car. It was only $600 installed at Best Buy. It's so nice not to have to fight with keeping my phone in a display holder where I can see the map, and now I can control my phone-streamed music with my steering wheel controls. Makes driving so much more pleasant.

This is the actual reason I default to chicken and sometimes opt for fish. And oat milk. It's not everything, but it's a hell of a lot better than eating beef five nights a week and barely required any effort on my part.

I mean...

Textbook

Textbook

My actual Anatomy textbook is full of these weirdly sensual illustrations that are just.. unnecessary.

Too many straight people use this as the third sentence in a conversation with someone they just met though. Like, a formative moment in my psychological development is not something I'm accustomed to discussing with random strangers. It's different when it comes up in conversations with friends.

Add to that the weight of the oppressive sociocultural context that required me to have a developmental moment of revelation in the first place, instead of just, you know, being able to be whatever I am without having to wade though a pile of fear, guilt, and shame to get there. Yeah... it shouldn't be a casual question.
