I guess I don't even get these categories anymore. Some people are convinced a tomato is a fruit. Personally, I don't really see it that way, but who am I to judge? 😁
Anyone who’s actually sat through a real IQ test knows that what they were airing on FOX didn't really have much to do with it. Everything was just way too easy, and I guess those general knowledge questions were honestly kind of laughable.
I recall this one girl who was a pro athlete, and whenever her period threatened to ruin a big game or whatever, she’d use this pill method... though I can't quite remember the timing required for it to actually work.😬
blue-haired girl said:I have to agree. Look, I'm obviously against discrimination, but honestly, you can't just have someone with a fake incurable, deadly illness "messing around with other people" and risking infecting them. Not to be dramatic, but I might actually strangle them with my bare hands (even though I'm a total lady 🙂) if I found out I caught something like that from them. Even if it was just a sore throat, I'd be furious, let alone something like shingles I'm no medical expert, but it really bugs me how everyone jumps to defend those "poor sick people who aren't allowed to work," while ignoring the fact that it's my PERSONAL RIGHT to know whether I'm shaking hands with a sick doctor or choosing someone else so I don't have to worry about my own health and life. Anyway, feel free to kill me, but that's just how I feel.
Are you thinking about having an infected doctor perform surgery on you, or would you not even let them examine you?
Kate Garcia2 said:Just so we're clear, a spouse isn't legally obligated to tell their partner they're sick or positive (it's basically left up to them—I mean, how many people actually tell their wives everything?)
The media absolutely lives for sensationalism. They slap on some bombastic headline and, naturally, everyone starts panicking—mostly because people just aren't informed enough yet. I guess you could look at the whole situation with Emma (was that her name?). Most parents wouldn't even let their kid sit in the same classroom as her because they don't actually understand how transmission works.
Kyle Nelson2 said:the difference between being HIV-positive and actually sick is 'just' the viral load
Not exactly. I guess you're considered HIV-positive until any symptoms show up, but it becomes AIDS once you actually get sick—like with infections or pneumonia. Things that wouldn't bother a healthy person at all, but could be fatal for someone who's infected.
on topic: Yeah, those kinds of doctors should be allowed to practice. I don't think they're required to disclose their HIV status since they use standard precautions anyway. And like Hannah Scott69 mentioned, a doctor can't just turn away an infected patient, so why would we stop an infected doctor from working?
AHA acids are pretty aggressive. Some clueless dermatologist once prescribed me Neutrogena with AHAs, and within an hour or two, my skin was basically scorched. I guess I'm never doing that again.
placidraven22 said:Scott Allen10, from what I can gather, the main ingredient is Erythromycin. I'm hoping someone else chimes in to give us more details, though.
And did they tell you how long you're actually allowed to use it? Since Erythromycin is an antibiotic, I guess you probably shouldn't use it for too long.😕
It’s honestly such an incredibly stupid regulation. You’d think medical professionals would actually be informed about what constitutes risky behavior, but apparently not. Discriminating against someone who genuinely wants to help just because of their sexual orientation is frankly shameful. 👎

It’s honestly embarrassing to be out in public. I'm guessing it might be conjunctivitis? I haven't seen a doctor yet, just using some over-the-counter eye drops I had lying around. Is there any way to actually fix this?
I deal with the tearing and the crustiness constantly, and it isn't even conjunctivitis. Maybe just go see a doctor if you're convinced it's an infection; I guess you shouldn't really be self-medicating like that.
wardancer, props to you 🙏 So, I’m looking at the West Side part of town and everyone’s leaving negative reviews. I guess I still have no idea who to go to 😢
Washing your hair twice a day is just overkill. Honestly, what is wrong with people? I mean, even if there’s heavy smog out in Los Angeles, your hair isn't going to get that greasy in just a few hours. Personally, I can't stand it when my hair gets even slightly oily, but I guess going to such extremes just isn't smart.
I guess you just have that kind of build where your legs and hips are naturally stronger. It’s hard to imagine someone who's 5'5" and 128 lbs being considered overweight.
