Also working at a hospital, we're definitely seeing Covid, and a surprising amount of RSV in older folks. Not a ton of flu yet, but that may be because flu vaccine has good uptake in the elderly population here.
They decided they deserved to make up all the profit they lost during the pandemic, and they were legally able to increase our prices to do exactly that. It's as plain and simple as this.
Yeah, they're already in the shit with the NLRB. They appealed our vote twice, most recently to DC, crying that Massachusetts NLRB was just oh-so-unfair to the poor corporation because of a strike they had at our sister hospital a couple years ago. DC pretty immediately was like, "Lol, no. DENIED." It was a beautiful memo to read.
You could actually have an allergy. I met one other person who had a mold allergy that was cross reactive with blue cheeses, and had a similar reaction to them
Oh fuck off. You know damn well that 90% of society would raise an eyebrow at a 3 year old boy trudging around in high heels and getting into mom's lipstick.
NO ONE TOLD HER SHE WAS TRANS. SHE SAID THAT.
What part of this was self-determined is hard for you to understand? Transition was 100% initiated and driven BY HER. It's what she wanted because it's what she understood herself to be inside her own mind.
I mean, this is literally a prime example of why people insist (correctly) that ALL cops are bad. Because if they're good for 3 seconds, they get fired or chased out.
Ok you and I both have to go to sleep, but now you've got me wondering about the eternal debate amongst our medical residents about benzos vs. barbiturates for acute alcohol withdrawal. I'll have to read up on this some more
I just had to look that shit up haha. I've never thought to check into it beyond just "you're not breathing, so I'm about to make you very angry by reversing your high, sorry bro" lol
So, it's interesting, because it's well-known to have effects on the same GABA receptors as benzodiazepines (like Xanax), but none of the addictive, physical dependence problems, and apigenin doesn't respond consistently to the drug we use to reverse benzos (called flumazenil).
So... we're not entirely sure? It could still be the GABA effects that help with sleep. But there's also a host of antiinflammatory neurological effects that probably better explain its efficacy against Alzheimer's, for example.
Now, if you really want to put yourself to sleep, feel free to crawl through this alphabet soup of a research article lol:
