It’s just modeling humans. I was only a lab TA for two semesters, and I caught so many fake data sets.

They call me baby J out on these streets

Ok. I’m also not crazy.

I do. I also have a PhD from a medical school. That’s why I know if eating less milk were the best solution for this individual, they would have said that.

Managing parents’ anxieties is a major part of being a pediatrician. You don’t suggest things that might scare parents when they are not necessary.

Be nice.

Jesus Christ. Just be nice.

Why is no one on Lemmy nice.

My bologna has a first name…

The doctor is unable to stop them from their behavior.

Imagine yourself as a doctor. The patient has the plague. You say, “Take this antibiotic. It will go away.” They say, “We prefer quarantine and chicken noodle soup”.

Do you say ok? Or do you admonish them and risk they get angry and do nothing? Or do you say, that is better than nothing. It is their body.

The only ethical behavior for a physician in this situation is to say, “sure, try dietary modifications”.

They were trying to prevent long term brain development issues by resolving the anemia the fastest evidence-based way, but the patient refused expert advice.

I mean, I would’ve thought that story was false, but this makes me rethink that.

Every denial from him is a confession.

Not only do we know from early on that trump has as small penis but that he’s insecure about it.

Can you imagine it? The president of the United States, arguably the most powerful and effectual person in the whole world, is so mentally unwell that he is insecure about the size of his penis?

That is what I said. The doctor would only have suggested meds if it were necessary.

You should change your thought process and listen to the experts.

They also would have recommended dietary changes if they actually were applicable. It is this kind of belief that leads to increased harm and is solely the reason why so many children are being harmed and killed by extremely preventable causes.

I’m not accusing you of being someone as heinous as an antivaxxer, but this is the thought process that leads people down that path.

I forgot about Reince Priebus.

Why are all the people he works with so stereotypically evil?

Since this thread is getting irrational, and Lemmy is pretty toxic in this way, I’ll reply up here and take my down votes to agree with you.

ZeroCool needs to stop trying to be offended and actually read what you’re saying.

Of course archery doesn’t glorify bows and arrows. It may glorify archery, but there is nothing wrong with archery unless you are using it for evil.

Edit: ahh as predicted. Can we please be more understanding and less obstinate?

This specific thing? Or just an iron chunk of some type?

The reason I know about this is the social aspect of trying to get people with endemic iron deficiency to use a supplement. If you’re from the more industrialized would, I’d figure you’d take supplements that, while more expensive, may or may not be more effective.

Certainly makes sense.

I have absolutely no problem with people using guns in a target shooting type of way.

Or in other responsible types of ways, like properly managed hunting or where there are things like moose and polar and grizzly bears. Guns are tools.

I don’t like guns, but I understand. Gun nuts are the problem, as are guns as tools that are only designed to kill humans. I can even understand why people would want to shoot an assault rifle or other weapon of war.

It just needs to be controlled.

The worst part is that I would really like to spend an afternoon blowing shit up. Go to someplace fun. Learn about the process. Then push the pluger.

The problem is that that’s actually well controlled. Enough so that I can’t really find a good way to experience it outside of a construction project in my past.

Not necessarily licking (I mean, if you do it enough…), but this is a thing

Cool story with interesting social, cultural, and scientific interactions.

It may have been discredited outside of simple iron deficiency since I last read about it, but dietary studies on humans are notoriously difficult to do.

I’ve lived in my area in zone 7b since 2002 (old scale). That’s single digits ~ half of years.

It hasn’t gotten that cold since I’ve moved here.

If anyone of a sufficient age denies climate change, I think they’re delusional.

This is not something that can only be determined through sensitive statistics. It’s affecting our day to day lives.

Tell me about it. There were so many more opportunities, but I figured I was being a gentlemen. I was just obtuse.

My wife and I hooked up a bit freshmen year in college and then drifted. She later pursued me. Her explanations about how oblivious I was that she wanted to come over and sleep with me are mind boggling in retrospect.

Try the pasta…
