👍 I'm totally on board with this.

brisknomad6 said:How much longer can this go on?
Until the anesthesia fails her, she suffers a thrombosis, or her kidneys just give out completely?

Who can we even turn to?
The doctor blames Medicare,
Medicare points the finger at the employer,
and the employer just shifts everything back onto her...

Seriously, how long is this going to last?

granitebadger25 explained the whole situation perfectly; I don't have anything else to add. But if things still don't move forward, maybe it’s time to take it to the top brass.

Ljubica Đukanović, Medicare, business address, local organization

WAY TO GO, SPEAKER! YOU NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!!

Ryan Wilson2 said:I honestly don't know... that's exactly why I dabble in everything—to figure out if we're actually both things at once.

Right here, right now, we are definitely both. But once we're gone? We'll probably just be that other thing.

🙄That was a pretty clumsy way to put it, but I hope someone gets what I'm getting at.

frozencobra69 said:It was all just a joke...

just seeing if anyone would actually bite...

but my point still stands.

Hey, you're forgiven. 😁

I'm totally with you on Ultramagnetic MC's (including Kool Keith/dr. Octagon). Though, honestly, Keith started losing his edge a bit on those later albums.

Kalahan mcp. said:I remember reading about how people used to take sick children to lay them on graves—with someone watching over them, of course—hoping the proximity would heal them. It’s one of those forgotten folk magic rituals. I’m sure there are plenty of other examples involving burial sites, but nothing else is jumping to mind right now.

This is actually pretty fascinating, if a little spooky. 😲
Sleeping in cemeteries or meditating near remains...



Does anyone here know the logic behind this? Like, what's the actual purpose or goal? 😕

I promise to practice my profession with conscience and honor. My highest priority will be the care and health of my patients. I will protect the privacy of everyone who entrusts themselves to me. I will uphold the dignity and noble traditions of this calling with all my strength. My colleagues will be my brothers and sisters. In serving my patients, I will remain indifferent to any considerations of religion, nationality, race, politics, or social class. I will hold human life in the highest regard, from its very beginning. Under no circumstances, even under threat, will I allow my medical knowledge to be used in ways that violate the laws of humanity."
I make this solemn pledge, of my own free will, and by my honor."

Man, if even half of the doctors out there actually lived by this... honestly, there isn't much else to say. 🙄 😂

😁 😁 Seriously? You're basically trying to label Miles Davis as a hip-hop artist just because he dropped that one album, "Doo-Bop," with Easy Moe Beejem.

Heard it. Just listened to Billie Joe Armstrong's production. Saw the police on the cover, too. But honestly? It doesn't even capture a hint of that fake Clash-style revolutionary spirit. Plus, the audio quality is absolute garbage.

Here are a few more that stood out to me this year:

Carla Bozulich - Red Headed Stranger
Hamell on Trial - Tough Love
Joe Strummer and Mescalleros - Streetcore
Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around
Paul Westerberg - Come Feel Me Tremble
5,6,7,8's Teenage Mojo Workout (it dropped in 2002 but just hit me this year, kind of like how Paybacks, Chains, and Cash felt)
Jorge Ben - Tabu de Esmeralda (74/2003)

Still haven't heard these yet, but they seem solid:
The 5,6,7,8's - BOMB THE ROCKS EARLY DAYS SINGLES
Bottle Rockets - Blue Sky (heard one track—really good!)
Weirdos - We Got the Neutron Bomb (1977-89)
Fuse! - The Fisherman's Wife
The Wrens - The Meadowlands (?)
Neil Young - Greendale (?)
Preacher's Kids - Wild Emotions
Television - Live at the Old Waldorf

P.S.
Calexico and Jayhawks are alright

Ugh, don't waste your energy stressing over it—it either happened or it didn't. As for getting sick, I haven't caught anything in years, and honestly, I owe it all to eating clean. Next time you're meal prepping, just be more mindful of what you're actually putting in your body.
I really hope you feel better soon, but even if you did catch something, it’s not the end of the world. There are plenty of remedies out there, though personally, I swear by the natural ones.

Don't forget about homeopathy. I see there’s already been some discussion about it on the forum, but I’d suggest giving it a shot—it might just help.

Radiation, chemo, surgery...
Here’s a helpful link. If you’re comfortable with English, awesome—if not, just let me know and I can translate the main points for you.
Honestly, the single most important thing you can do right now is just be there for him. Let him know you love him and that you're in his corner; that kind of support often means more than any medical treatment ever could. Staying positive is half the battle when it comes to healing. And please, take care of yourself too—dealing with something like this is incredibly heavy. Hang in there, Lisa Palmer5.

something like this:

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Alice in Chains - 13th Step, Audioslave, Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Ulrich Schnauss - a Strangely Isolated Place
Prefuse 73 - One Word Extinguisher
Erlend Oye - Unrest
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Manitoba - Up in Flames
Sea & Cake - One Badroom
Madlib - Shades of Blue
OutKast - Speakerboxxx / The Love Below

Demolition and rock n roll both suck, especially that last one, but Whiskeytown? Now that’s actually good.

slycrane94 said:I just felt like it was only fair to bring some actual scientific data to the table. But hey, if you guys prefer sticking to voodoo, be my guest.

Look, your intentions are totally fine 🙂, but we've already covered the science behind homeopathy over on ScienceHub, and honestly, the whole debate just turned into a bunch of people bickering. If anyone wants to dive into the data, the link is right there. People come to this Health forum specifically to share their personal experiences with homeopathy—that's really all there is to it. If someone's itching for a debate about proving or debunking evidence, they should probably head back over to the Science section.

First, do no harm. Most conventional drugs end up causing more side effects than they're worth and rarely live up to the hype. On the flip side, homeopathy isn't going to hurt anyone. Sure, the process can take longer, finding the exact right remedy is a bit of a puzzle, and it’s not a silver bullet for everything, but it works. We shouldn't just toss out a valid way of healing because it doesn't fit a certain mold.

shadowgardener12, I’m not quite following you 😕, what exactly do you mean by "solution"?

Maybe Alexander Parker69 could share some of his own experiences with homeopathy instead of tracking my every move and trying to trip me up 😛

AxMi-24 said:Can one of you local geniuses please explain what’s so funny about my post??

Is it because homeopathy, God, and all that crap are considered "unscientific"???

Look, I’m no genius, but let me try to break this down for you: you can’t really have a meaningful debate when you're talking past someone in a different language. If you don't actually have experience with a topic and don't know the facts, there's nothing to talk about. This isn't some academic journal where people defend formal theses; this is a Health forum where people come to share their own personal experiences and advice. And from what I can tell, you don't have any actual experiences to share. It would be like trying to convince people who actually live in the USA that the whole country is just a massive conspiracy theory. 😁
Some people are laughing because they don't know how to politely say your opinion is totally baseless, and others are just trolling to boost their post count. Nothing personal. 😉
God is definitely above science, homeopathy is somewhere in the middle, but total nonsense is perfectly consistent with science. 😁

To me, homeopathy is magic, not science. So, laugh all you want. 😁

Luke said:Herbal supplements and homeopathy aren't the same thing. Homeopathy uses extremely diluted preparations (which might actually come from a plant or something else), so there isn't really any active ingredient left. The "active" part is just water that has "memorized" whatever substance was dissolved in it once (we've already gone over the specifics of that on the science forum, so I won't repeat myself).

Jimmy said:Wait, what?! Man, I’m seriously bummed I don't follow your deep dives on the science boards more closely. I missed out on all those important discussions and whatever conclusions you guys reached...😁 I clearly missed some big stuff here...🙂 So the water "memorized" the crystal lattice of atoms, huh? Yeah, right...😁 Good grief... saying homeopathy works based on the plant matter inside itself? That's actual medical school curriculum... maybe not at your school... but certainly at most others. And ma'am, "we talked about this on the science board"...

Luke is right.
