Women live longer than men. The geriatric population will naturally be majority female.

Try to stay with me here because I have this crazy idea. It’s out there. So far out there I’m pretty sure it’s never been done. How about we have a woman with medical training in charge of women’s health?

This is exactly it. I keep waking up expecting to read that Trump died in his sleep, that’s how unhealthy he looks.

This is the Vance for President campaign, trump is just the fuel in the car that drives him there.

Mark Cuban has been addressing this with logic. You only sell gold sneakers and shitty coins when you need the money.

Sepsis?! They turned her away with sepsis? That doctor killed her. I don’t understand. Anyone remotely symptomatic of sepsis is admitted. UTIs in the elderly are admitted fairly often, not even to intensive care, for far milder symptoms. The source of the infection is chased down. Treatment happens.

Sepsis screening is one of those baked into the medical record things that everyone is screened for. Even before that, separate assessments were done once a day on everyone, in precovid times. There’s no not screening for sepsis. Septic while pregnant is not leaving, except by AMA.

I can only assume that the staff there is so avoidant they treat pregnant women like kryptonite and make excuses to get them out the door as fast as possible.

Are suicides among healthcare workers up in Texas, compared to baseline rates? How about ED staff burnout? Is Texas bleeding ED staff to other states? I’d be surprised if all of those things weren’t true.

I also wonder how many healthcare workers are voting Harris down there.

For those of you still reading, if this young woman had received treatment, she would now be part of the infamous third trimester “abortion” statistic. Engaging that procedure to expel a dead fetus in order to avoid this outcome involves the same medical procedure: an abortion. Statistics usually make no distinction on the context, just that a medical procedure, an abortion, occurred.

There’s such a disconnect with the raw chaos and statistics of life born of the same impulse that makes people make statements like: everything happens for a reason. Because they desperately want reason to be behind everything that happens, including their kid’s autism.

Life functions contrary to such wishes, chaos and statistics feature prominently instead. Random, shitty things will happen. Living healthy, the statistics of some kind of cancer is still ~30% at baseline. Birth anomalies happen. And, statistically, vaccines save lives from hardship and illness, and just save lives.

The more plausible study on autism suggests waiting to have kids is a factor. Our eggs are produced while still in the womb. Meiosis starts before birth and doesn’t complete until after fertilization. There’s room for corruption there that only goes up over time. It’s why we’re at higher risk of problems with births after 35, including Downs. Live your life as you will, this isn’t some veiled trad wife promotion or some other bs, it’s just a piece of the science on egg health over time. Studies also demonstrate men’s age impacts autism risk as well. Old sperm or old eggs, both increase autism risk. All of that said, it’s important to know there’s no 1 single cause of autism. Again, chaos and statistics, not a neat and tidy fix by removing 1 thing from your lives.

Terrifying. That we could cease to be American in a week. Instead becoming whatever this mentally ill man’s concept of a country is instead. He doesn’t care about voting or the constitution, he’s said as much on multiple occasions. He’s proved as much on Jan 6.

I am not someone who hangs flags but my god. This vote is now coming down to whether or not you’re a patriot of this country. The republic is dead if this man wins.

Oh hell no. Not until the first two patches are rolled out.
