Says the person who clearly doesn't have to see specialists in the US very often. We already have to wait months to see specialists.

Gubbins is a fun, new kind of word game.
Nonogram is a fun puzzle game.
This was very much my experience with the trans girl I grew up with 35 years ago. From the instant she was able to express preferences (I'm talking like age 18 months to 2 years), it was all princesses and dolls and makeup and trying on mom's high heels. We all just assumed she was a gay boy because we had never heard of a transgender person before.
We encouraged her to just keep that behavior at home because she was bullied mercilessly for appearing to be an effeminate boy. But nothing would stop her; she was completely irrepressible.
When in high school, she told us she was really a girl, it was like the most face-palmingly obvious thing. Of COURSE that's what we'd been seeing her entire life. It just made sense. That's just who she is.
For mine, it's the only safe place from the scary, scary thunder.
I am prescribed a medication to increase acetylcholine called pyridostygmine by a specialist to treat my ME/CFS. So this knowledge is out there, just not common yet. And as always with these conditions, research funding is virtually non-existent.
Xylazine also causes refractory skin lesions similar to krokodil. Current leading hypothesis is that it's because of localized vasoconstriction leading to tissue necrosis.
Dark healthcare provider humor incoming: When considering these kinds of questions regarding CPR, we actually say, "Well, they ain't getting any deader."
CPR actually reverses death. That's why it only works sometimes and only if provided in a very short window of time after you've died. Nothing that is done during CPR is going to make that worse. So yeah, the reality is that it's a little bit of a controlled free-for-all. It's called "heroic measures" for a reason.
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.
What about this woman?
