It’s interesting to observe how biology doesn't always follow the script. In my immediate workplace, I know two people who are incredibly lean—they eat perfectly balanced meals and don't touch a drop of alcohol—yet their cholesterol levels are through the roof. It isn't just a guess, either; it's been confirmed by specialists at Mayo Clinic.
On the flip side, we have several noticeably overweight individuals who live on junk food and drink excessively, yet their lab results come back looking like they belong to healthy infants.😁
Honestly, I’m thinking along those exact same lines 🙂
But you have these women who end up in the ER, demanding admission because their menstrual cramps are absolutely unbearable. Then, after running every test under the sun, they come up with nothing. NOTHING. No physical cause found. So what does that imply—that they’re just lying?
Look, let’s be clear... NO ANTIBIOTIC is dispensed without a prescription. Especially not penicillin-based ones. As for pharmacists—or people in general—acting irresponsibly? That's a whole different issue entirely.
Well, fine... by that logic, we might as well just classify every woman who complains about pain without a physical cause as some sort of medical phenomenon.

Maybe it isn't for you. 😁
Everyone rolls their eyes when I tell them how I patch up my own finger cuts. 🤣
But seriously, can you actually buy Dermabond for home use?
And here I was thinking we finally had someone practicing this because they actually love the sport... but no, it's just more obsessive calorie counting. 😢
The anesthesiologist was easily one of the kindest, most thorough, and most straightforward people I encountered during my entire stay at the hospital.
I especially appreciated her telling me that if it makes things easier, I could show up to surgery wearing makeup 😍, as long as I didn't put anything on my lips... and obviously no nail polish 🙄 😁
I had a deeply exhausting conversation with the anesthesiologist before my surgery... and I have to admit, it was pretty unsettling 😉😁
I was honestly appalled when I heard they might need me to strip the polish off my nails just so they can judge whether I'm still breathing based on how they look 😱
I'm exaggerating, obviously ;😁
But seriously, it felt terrible... I mean, don't they hook you up to those pulse oximeters and all that? Are they really still checking fingernails?
Thank God they don't use chickens to slaughter people by pouring lead over them and throwing beans around to predict the outcome of a procedure 😵
