Any recommendations for a full physical exam?
Male, mid-thirties.
Over the last two years, I’ve been putting on weight and dealing with a constant lack of energy. My digestion has also been pretty inconsistent, among other things.

I am willing to spend up to $667 to get this sorted out.

Is it actually possible to travel to Canada right now? I’m dealing with a death in the family—someone very close to me is passing away. Has anyone here navigated this recently? What is the TSA or the current federal guidance regarding emergency travel under these circumstances? Should I just go ahead and send them an email to see if they'll make an exception?

The situation is critical; the person is truly on their deathbed, but because there aren't any obvious COVID-19 symptoms, the medical staff isn't giving us much leeway or understanding...

Please, give me a break. I deal with these types constantly.
When people start singing praises just because they’ve finally decided to loosen up, it’s usually because they’re desperate for everyone else to lower their standards too. Otherwise, they remain exactly who they are: losers.
They refuse to admit they had a bad experience because doing so would be an admission of defeat. They cling to this hollow "winner" mentality that possesses neither logic nor any actual connection to winning.

Their ultimate objective is always to find something positive to say about themselves, regardless of the circumstances. Why? I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions. 😉

I caught a screening at the local AMC Theatres tonight.

A meager 2/5 stars. Roughly 90% of this supposed "film" is nothing more than a concert replay. Despite how it was marketed, it was presented as a cinematic experience, which means there were much better ways to execute this project. It certainly didn't meet the standards I had anticipated.
It wasn't my intention, nor was it my desire, to sit through a glorified concert recording where the music takes center stage at the expense of everything else, yet that is precisely what happened. 🤷

Save your money and skip the ticket prices. Just wait until it hits streaming services at home... you won't be missing out on anything significant.

This has been happening to me for about two years now. It usually hits when I’m out on the town.
I find myself passing out mid-socializing. Alcohol is almost always involved—about 99% of the time—and after a certain amount of drinking, I just lose consciousness.
The situation took a turn for the worse about a year and a half ago when I started working night shifts. Fortunately, I don't work those hours anymore.
There have even been instances where I’ve fallen asleep while standing up. This isn't some conscious choice; there is simply a moment where my body shuts down and I can no longer keep my eyes open.🙂

I am 24 years old and generally healthy. I recently had blood work done for an unrelated matter, and everything came back perfectly normal. My diet is solid, and I maintain good physical fitness through regular exercise.

What could be the underlying cause or issue here? 😕 🤷
