That animals get abused by sadistic a******s every day and there’s nothing I can do about it.
And I don’t just mean food industry horror, I also mean casual abuse of pets, abuse by sadistic people of strays for pleasure, out of boredom, neglect of pets, horses being starved to death. Old animals being abandoned, etc.
The animal rights laws are way too weak even in the strictest of countries in my opinion. I can’t unknow it and I can’t do anything about it and if I think about too much I can’t handle it
They are vile people ; two of whom will think twice about being cruel to animals ever again ; let's say I have no regrets and would happily find them again and they would be sorry - again. For a while at least.
Not so fun fact time, did you know their are many countries where cats are hunted for sport? People will just take out a gun, and shoot at strays "for sport"! It's horrible! I can't even portray how mad I am at anyone who would do this! Also, did you know that most rescue shelter have far more cats then dogs becuase cats get abonded at a quiker rate then their adopted! Also, their are a lot of shelters that don't accept cats becuase it take recources to care for them, and cats don't get adopted, so these shelters don't even help them!

Mr. Rogers' mother told him that when a tragedy happens, look at all the people who rush to help. Focus on them, not the tragedy. Don't leave us, just be one of the people who rush to help!
Load More Replies...This gets to me, too. Animals like cats, humans, pigs at least deserve to not be tortured without reason, or with a reason that can't qualify to justify. But then, again, the food industry, although nobody wants to hear it, exceeds every other torturing of animals by far, dwarfs it into close-to-nothing in comparison. And, "Kids just being kids" - kids who torture animals have by far exceeded innocent stupidity that one could let fly, but are not only evil already, but on their way to ever exceed their doings in regard to its nonacceptance - they will eventually start torturing humans. Not that this was more evil in itself, but it is a lot more punishable for several reasons of which some make sense. At least, humans - even the weakest, smallest ones - have a lot more means to evade torture than any other animal has. They're truly helpless, helpless on a level humans will never be able to reach, and therefore, I think that being violent towards people torturing animals is the least I have to do, if I get the chance to. Like DrGirlfriend said ... I've gone out to stop children - not even in puberty yet - who were torturing a goose, who were throwing things at cats, who were beating a poodle ... and you could see that they were in some sort of conflict afterwards. No regrets. Even called the police and admitted my intervention right away - I didn't even have to make another statement, because in order to stop them from beating that poodle to death, I had to resort to pretty drastic means, here meaning phyiscal violence without weapons, but with all severity I can throw into my fists and feet. A few black eyes, I handed out to them. And, of course - nothing to regret. Torturing something helpless should warrant being beaten up at the very, very least.
I can't even read these. I am so sick of people abandoning their family pets, just dumping them. It absolutely breaks my heart.
Tbf, there's so many sick people out there doing just the most heinous things. There's s**t happening in our towns and communities. The more you're aware and thinking about it, despite having no power over it, the more fearful and depressed you'll becoming. Imagine tearing the exterior walls of every home. There's stuff we should know about to help someone, but so much you just don't want to know because it's too traumatizing. That's why not everyone can be a social worker or police officer.
Not abusing them just for food would be a really good place for society to start though, wouldn't it.
This is the sort of thing that makes me want to become a vigilante.
Eating meat doesn't really freak me out, but I had to go pescetarian because it's basically impossible to find meat that isn't made using cruel factory farming. I miss brisket. I hate capitalism.

After any significant natural disaster or conflict starts up, human traffickers swarm to the country looking for unattended children. Law enforcement will start watching ports of entry for the usual suspects..... the usual suspects.
The fact that human trafficking is such a huge issue makes me wonder who the hell all these damn "customers" are walking around acting all normal
This is who the death penalty is for. No death row for fifteen years if you are a usual suspect in an area where children usually go missing you should be shot on f*****g sight.
This would make them more ruthless, so they would get rid of any "evidence". There enough countries with death penalty that show it doesn't help
Load More Replies...Sadly, it happened lastly in Turkey and Syria on the aftermaths of the earthquake. And still occurs in Ukraine, orchestrated by Russia ( that's the cause of the TPE warrant on Putin and his child rights secretary)
Major sporting events have this problem, as well. Sex trafficking goes way up and some of it happens at the arenas in the VIP rooms. They look for girls and use them as bets.
New to me as well... And now I suddenly feel the need to go to these places and just stand watch or help in some way. So sad and scary!

When cats sense they’re not long for this world they’ll leave to go die somewhere outside…..alone. I wish mine would’ve just stayed at home.
They don't want predators to be attracted to where their family lives. It's a sad thing, but also noble at the same time.
YES THEY SHOULD LIVE FOREVER!!!
Load More Replies...I was visiting my mom and her cat was dying. We gave her medications and guarded her so that she would not sneak out and disappear. Days went by and she kept on living past what the vet had told us. Then one day we had guests and one of them let her slip out. She made it to the neighbor's driveway and dropped dead. It was as if she had been staying alive to get a chance to slip out.
My main cat came down with feline leukemia and made its way back to me, where it slowly died in my arms looking into my eyes. I was twelve.
That's a great honor that the cat decided to die in your arms. My condolences for the kitty's passing

He was called out one Christmas morning to a family that had two dogs. When he arrived, he was surprised to see a dead cat and her unweaned kitten. The cat was a stray, that every now and then would come in and get warm by the fire, then leave. She wouldn't accept food or anything from the humans. She was completely feral. Just every now and then, she'd take a break. Well, the cat was dying and had to know it, so with the last of her strength, she brought her kitten to the only haven she'd ever known. Of course the people kept her son, and he had a good, spoiled life. I can't read that chapter without crying over a cat that's been dead for nearly a hundred years now. It turns out I can't tell about the story without crying, either.
Well, I couldn't read you telling about it without crying..
Load More Replies...I thought this had happened to my older cat. He was twelve at the time. 4,5 years later I got a call. He had been found. Alive but not well. 3 Months later he went. I am glad I got to say goodbye
Oh my kitty boy almost did this, he hid under a bed but then he screamed out. Not cried but screamed. I had never flipped a queen size bed so fast. I took him to the emerg vet and found out he had a stroke, we made the call that night and I held him as he drifted off to a very comfortable sleep while I thanked him for adopting us. BROKE MY HEART but I made sure to not let him die alone in pain. My little monster.

... didn't George Carlin say something along those lines ... "imagine the average person, the average intelligent person - and then, remember that half of them is even dumber than that!" ... yeah, he was right. People ARE stupid. The larger the crowd, the dumber the things they do. Kinda otherways like in insects - individually, they're dumb as a leaf, but the entire population at least acts very reasonable, while with humans ... one human, likely, is kind of smart and reasonable. A group of humans is kind of dumb, and a group that has joined itself due to certain beliefs, certainly, is not even only unsmart, but downright stupid on purpose.

The reason why morgues prefer to hire women, not men.

Call me a cynic, but I was more surprised to discover that the Lego morgue kit is a thing.
Don't think it is new. There is a reason why female Egyptian mummies are more decomposed in general than male ones.
From The History of Herodotus translated by G.C. Macaulay: ll:89. The wives of men of rank when they die are not given at once to be embalmed, nor such women as are very beautiful or of greater regard than others, but on the third or fourth day after their death (and not before) they are delivered to the embalmers. They do so about this matter in order that the embalmers may not abuse their women, for they say that one of them was taken once doing so to the corpse of a woman lately dead, and his fellow-craftsman gave information. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/89/herodotus-on-burial-in-egypt/

In Dubai, I've witnessed the acts of human trafficking and illegal prostitution, I've tried my best to get it onto the light at the time I was there, but everyone there kind of aware of it already and said that no one can or will do s**t here.

It's illegal in India to find out the gender of your baby, because so many prefer boys over girls
Sadly China has tens of thousands of men who won't ever be able to get married because the girls of their generation were disproportionately aborted. One thing I would say, though, is that historically, and now, many Chinese people would prefer a boy but would have a daughter and then try again. It was during the one child policy era that this was a problem, because if they didn't get the gender they wanted, they couldn't try again with another child. That's also why there was such high rates of aborting babies with disabilities
Load More Replies...At least in the west we have the decency to hold off on the gender inequalities until after the birth.
This is satire, by the way, for that one person who inevitably doesn't get it.
Load More Replies...And sadly many female fetuses are aborted to this day (by bribing the sonographers to tell them the gender).
There was something on the news in Manitoba some years back saying Doctors here were refusing appointments specifically to find out the sex and would only reveal it after the 5 month, the cut-off time for legal abortions.
Because of the death rate on girls .. because so many babies were being murdered for being girls born first
Many female children in China still get put up for adoption, and in a country that only allows one birth unless the first is a girl, that's just another reason I won't be visiting China until something changes in the humanitarian sector.
That babies didn’t receive any anesthesia, even for open heart surgeries, etc. until the late 1980’s.
I still can't get my head around how anyone would think babies didn't feel pain. Just pinch one and you know exactly how they feel
because that is 100% false and a myth that won't die off. The reason they didnt use anesthesia on babies is because they didn't know how to administer it without killing them. At that time the way they did it was start off small and adjust higher doses. Works well with adults, leathal for infants. Once they knew how to administer it to infants, then they began
Load More Replies...IDK, but maybe they were scared of killing the babies with the anesthesia?
Worked in a hospital for over 30 years. Never heard such ridiculous nonsense.
I honestly don’t see how this is possible…is it because they did ‘t know how the anesthesia would affect the babies?
that's the main reason, but some dr. thought babies don't feel pain. Which is weird, considering how you have to be careful with bath water bc their more sensitive
Load More Replies...Ummm… I had open heart surgery in 1977. I can tell you that I did INDEED have anesthesia. I was a month shy of 2 yrs old.
I call serious b******t on this one! Has anyone tried to even make a baby lie down when they didn't want to? What ensues is wriggling about. Then try to force that baby to lie down & stay still. Cue screaming & wriggling about. Now try to do open heart surgery on that screaming moving child. It couldn't & can't be done. Some sort of anesthesia had to be used, even if it wasn't a full-on general anaesthetic. Either was the drug of choice when anesthesia was first started & doctors didn't put you completely out, just enough to stop the pain but not stopping you from breathing. It was a fine line that was a thread when it came to infants. And everyone knows that babies feel pain! Why do you think they scream when they get colic or bad gas!?! This is such a ridiculous,false myth that needs to be taken out of folklore.
I'm a former NICU nurse during the '80's. I worked in a teaching hospital so the opportunity to learn to reasons for why things were done and to actively be involved in trialing new treatment modalities was incredible. The anesthesia risks were far more likely to cause an increase in mortality and morbidity than the actual condition being treated. The thought process at the time was not really that infants don't feel pain but the rationale was that their nervous systems were underdeveloped in teeny preemies but also that "pain is only something that can be remembered." I believe that the process was twisted over time to people thinking babies feel no pain. I realize that there were health care providers that believed that no pain was felt but the vast majority believed that the surgical procedure to save a life even if they aren't given anesthesia outweighed everything else. And I can promise you that the parents of these babies would rather have a living child at the end of the day.
And you wonder why we doubt the medical system, especially in USA where it is all driven by the mighty dollar.
I think I read it's only recently that foetuses have been given pain meds prior to abortion., As if it wasn't enough of an ordeal already
You can do everything right in life, making no mistakes along the way, and still fail to accomplish your lifelong dream.

Load More Replies...One of the biggest challenges is how to follow your dream and obtain your goals when there are so many corrupt, greedy, stupid, selfish people, financial hurdles and ridiculous legislation on the same path. Some going the same way as you, some going against the flow, some just spinning circles. And any one of them could push you out of the way and possibly even completely off the path to get to where they want. There are so many things in life beyond our control. If you really desire to reach your goals, you just need to get up, and start putting one foot in front of the other. And do it over and over each time you run into a roadblock.
We would all have better lives if we trusted our creator and did what we were created to do. Instead, we are stubborn and prideful and insist on living OUR lives how we want. No way will we surrender and bow the knee to the Almighty God and let go of our perceived control over our lives.
I've always done the right thing at the right time in my entire life. And here I am, 46 years old...no savings, no social life, no happiness, health issues....all I have is the career I found late in my life (7 years ago).
That one can be aware they are in coma and not able to get out of it. I get anxious just thinking about it
Apparently it's just not for most people. Recent technologies have allowed some people with locked-in syndrome or in long term comas to be briefly awakened enough to communicate, and many of them reported that they were not unhappy with their quality of life.
Load More Replies...I watched my father in ICU after he had a stroke during surgery (he was there originally because of Leukemia). All he could do was grunt. I would ask what he wanted and held things up in front of him until I got the correct thing. The look in his eyes every time we did this broke my heart. He knew what was going on.
I wasn't aware I was in a coma. But I was trapped in a nightmare. I remember a lot of that nightmare 12 years later. It was very, very real to me. My heart is pointing just remembering it now.
Sorry to hear that. I imagine the brain tries to make sense of what is happening and can’t explain it.
Load More Replies...Secret fear unlocked. This and being aware while under anesthesia but you're paralyzed.
I was awake during a minor surgery. I had the surgery previously where I was completely knocked out. This time it became clear they were proceeding before I was under. I kept saying I was awake but they kept assuring me that I would be fine and “you won’t remember later”. I remember all of it. When I told them afterward that I was awake the whole time, the anesthesiologist didn’t seem to believe me. She said “yes but you felt nice and relaxed right?” No, I was scared and having a panic attack. She didn’t apologize or anything. To do this day I don’t know if she kept me awake on purpose or if I was supposed to be asleep and it went wrong. I thought they needed feedback in case I had developed a weird response to anesthesia but they didn’t seem interested. If they did it on purpose, I wish they had warned me in advance.
Load More Replies...I know exactly how this feels because I've been to faculty meetings.
This is stupid but when I think about this it triggers my claustrophobia
My biggest fear is to suffer a stroke and be incapacitated to the point where I can't even take my own life.
I passed out after receiving some vaccines required for university attendance. I was only out for a minute or less, according to the nurses, and my mom, but I had such a real dream, and it felt like it lasted so, so long. The mind is an amazing place...
Absolute *perfect* health is merely the **slowest** rate at which you are dying.
You have a timer for death for about 6 minutes, and breathing resets that clock.
And? We all will die at some point, why are we still freaking out about death? It's f*****g normal thing. Live every day the best you can and don't fear death - it's coming anyway, no need to worry about it.
If the theory that hearts only beat so many times in their life time then you are actually speeding up that demise.
my dang anxiety is gonna speed that up

My mom lives far from me and we only get to see each other once a year. She’s 65. Even if I’m lucky and she lives until 80 or so, I’m going to physically see her around 15 more times. The idea of it being so limited makes my stomach hurt.
They could try to see her more than once a year. I know, if it's a budgetary problem there isn't much they can do
This makes me so sad. On the flip side, my mom lives with us, and it's awful seeing her decline every day, little by little. When she's ready to go, I'll know, bc I've seen it.
Make the most of the time you have with her. I hadn't seen my dad in 4 years and we managed to get a family get together last April (which was the best week ever) and a month to the day later, he died suddenly but peacefully at home. I'm just so glad we had that time together - it was so very precious.
I live on the other side of the world from my parents. We would see each other every two years, and this thought occurs often. It makes me sad. My wife and I were supposed to visit them in 2020, but the pandemic happened. We just recently had a baby, and they're coming here at the end of April to see her. It'll be our first time seeing each other in 5 years. My wife and I are determined to visit home more often from now on.

Rabies. Just everything about rabies.
Australia is rabies free, and we want to keep it that way. Which is why there was a huge outcry about Amber Heard and her dogs being brought in illegally a few years ago. At least she and Johnny Depp made a wonderful video as an act of contrition (viewers likened it to a video made by hostages at gunpoint)
Oh, yes, that, er, “apology” was just, er, wonderful. I actually lost total respect for Johnny Depp then. BUT then all the Amber Heard stuff came to light and now I have moved him off my blacklist. Seriously, though, foreigners are just appalled but Australian’s strict border control rules - but we Aussies know just just. How. Important. They are.

Load More Replies...Acute infection with the Rabies virus attacks the nervous system of mammals, yet Donald Trump and Elon Musk adamantly claim to be immune to this terrible disease. In 80 percent of rabies cases, the disease occurs in its classic form, called "wild rage." Symptoms include confusion, hallucinations, combativeness, seizures, dysfunction of the sympathetic nervous system, excessive saliva production, permanent goose bumps and cardiac arrhythmias. Soon after, the two symptoms that are probably most frightening set in, hydrophobia and aerophobia. Attempting to swallow liquid causes involuntary and painful contractions of the diaphragm, as well as the respiratory support and swallowing muscles. Stimulation with a puff of air also triggers similar reactions. If, at the same time, an excessive amount of saliva is produced that cannot be swallowed, the infamous foaming at the mouth of the rabid person occurs. The disease progresses rapidly and always leads to death.
One of my younger brothers, he was born in 1984. The summer after he was born (so in 1985) we were up camping up one of the canyons. More family came up to join our dinner that later afternoon. King story made short, there's a cave that you can hike to not far from the camping spot we were at. Well my brother being 1 had keys in his hands and the sun was glinting off of it. Next thing I saw was a smallish black thing on my brother hands, him screaming bloody murder, out and out dad were freaking out, our dad grabbed a big stick and started wailing on this black thing that had been knocked off. They had to rush him down the canyon to the closest hospital and had the dead bat in a baggie with them. The bar was rabid, my brother had to have a crazy series of shots, & they had to go through the cave system and get rid of all of the rebid bats.
It's unlikely that they woukd kill all the bats. Bats carry rabies naturally and it seems to affect them very differently from other mammals. Exterminating a colony would be prohibitively expensive and dangerous.

The docuseries HBO did about Cherynbol was well done. They didn't shy away from showing what happened to those who were directly impacted.
I just think of Hisashi Ouchi....... it's f*cking horrifying what radiation can do to people. It can destroy your immune system, your DNA can stop working. In cases of high exposure, like Hisashi Ouchi, skin grafts and blood transfusions don't work because your body stops doing its job. The grafts just fall right back off. The moment the healthy blood circles through your system, you're right back to being f*cked. And there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Your body decays and falls apart with you still alive. Radiation is terrifying, and I don't think we ever should have messed with that stuff.

There's something like 2% of American prairie left and it's still shrinking. A couple weeks ago Rockford airport was just given permission to expand over Illinois' best and nearly last prairie.
Native prairie species sequester carbon FAR MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN TREES and support more biodiversity. Not to mention their ability to stop erosion.
Not only are we destroying prairie for human expansion, but we also went too far with planting trees and fire suppression, so areas that should be prairie and savanah are just planted with trees because we just assume that the more trees the better.
Don't even get me started about people's "wildflower gardens" that help very few insects and animals as compared to actual native plants.

"It's boring""it's just flat" or, my personal favorite, "flyover state." By "nothing there" and "just flat" and "boring" they mean that it would be better if there were giant cities, mountains, forests, or whatever other things people find far more appealing than rolling prairie. Why do you think that the protected, national parks are in the places that they are? Because those places are nice to look at. Prairie land is not conventionally attractive, so yeah, it's apparently asking too much to expect people to give a s**t about it
With a wild parties, the topsoil can be up to six feet deep. Modern agricultural practices have so depleted the soil that the topsoil in the Midwest is now only a couple of inches deep. Combine drought with high winds, and we will have a catastrophe that will make the Dust Bowl look like a walk in the park.
Isn't that what caused the dustbowl? The farmers kept uprooting the native grasses that had roots way deeper than the crops they were planting so the top soil just blew away...

You can create your own wildflower garden. Just make sure it's correct for your area. Don't grow plants that aren't natural to your state and be more willing to allow for seed production.
I've lived in Rockford, Illinois all my life. I'm ashamed that this is happening. We don't need a bigger airport. I see signs all over saying "Save Bell Bowl Prairie." No one seems to care .
There may not be much 'wild' prairie left, but all that land got turned into farmland and pasture, which can still suck up carbon as long as people use green farming practices. And most farmers actually are doing that now, because it's actually healthier for the soil, which makes it more productive and hence cost effective. For instance, drilling seeds into the ground is better than plowing and scattering the seeds on the loose soil. This is because drilling doesn't disturb the microbial crust that is responsible for trapping the carbon. It's also estimated that the modern amount of livestock in the Us is equivalent to the wild populations of large ungulates of pre Colombian times. And this is important because their poop is what helps inoculate the soil with that nice healthy crust.
My lungs are f****d after having covid two years ago. Scarred a lot. I’m now living with the knowledge they will likely fail me at an age younger than I’d like them to.
My brain is fried by that damn virus. My risk of multiple sclerosis is way above average now, thank to that f****r
I was physically sick from Covid for only a couple of weeks. But the brain fog, trouble following conversations, trouble thinking straight, etc. lasted much longer, at least another 6 months. But (for me at least and some other people I know) it did slowly fade away and I’m pretty much back to normal. How long ago did you have Covid that’s leaving your brain so wonky?
Load More Replies...I took this s*it virus twice. 1st time my body 'closed' for one week. I just woke up to eat, use the bathroom, and clean my cat's mess. The 2nd time, I just became a little tired and sleepy. I took all the jabs against it. But I knew a woman that lost their lungs and, later, her life. And an old guy that worked with us died as well. To summarize, we have to take this threat seriously.
I am in week 2 after my first covid and if I were religious I would pray that my lungs recover. Right now a teams meeting or doing the dishes is enough to have me exhausted. I hope OPs health improves.
I had it January and I don't know if I'd say I have long Covid, but I have a wicked cough that I can't get rid of, and a strange muscle weakness...like holding my arms up in the shower to wash my hair is too difficult. Lifting my arms to get something off a shelf, or walking up the driveway of the house I've lived in for years, feels like my leg muscles can't do it. I don't know what's causing it or if it's from Covid (except it happened after I was sick) or if just these minor things constitute "long" covid
Load More Replies...That's why anti covid people annoy me. My ex dad spent months in the hospital almost dying. And he was healthy.
I was one of the first people in my state to get Covid vaccinated (front line worker) and have had so many boosters, now, I have lost count.

HOWEVER, my family and I all came down with some other random, non-covid virus in December, and we are still recovering even now. Isn’t life stupid sometimes?
I got what may be the same random non-covid and was sick for 8 weeks with residuals still myself. And had the flu shot.

10 days straight of a 100 plus fever. I lost muscle mass and 15 pounds. After the fever broke, I was still unable to walk normally for a few days. Folks who deny and call it fake can f**k right off.
We are possibly on the brink of medical technology and treatments losing a hundred years of progress because new strains of bacteria are becoming anti biotic resistant and finding new antibiotics is a slow process far out passed by the amount of resistant bacteria. Imagine getting a minor cut on your hand and dying from it.
Added benefit, our own immune systems have also taken a hit as well because our over use of antibiotics has killed alot of the good bacteria in our bodies that works with our immune system.
MRSA and Co. are already a huge problem in hospitals. We can all just pray and hope for new antibiotics and vaccines
I actually had MRSA in an ear infection. twice. I know how dangerous it is. My great-grandma might have actually died from it.
Load More Replies...We need to stop overusing those few drugs that still work. Feeding them to farm animal just to improve yield (looking at you USA) is both immoral and shows a lack of long term planning. Drug companies would rather milk the profits from existing drugs than risk research into new ones.
Came here to say this. Factory farms are so evil in many ways, including overuse of antibiotics.
Load More Replies...And now our anti-fungal drugs are beginning to fail due to overexposure from agricultural products. One fungus, Candida auris, or C. auris, can be deadly and our ability to treat it is failing.
If we stopped feeding so many antibiotics to animals like cows, chickens etc., to make them grow faster and able to survive being treated really badly in factory farms, we wouldn't be getting so much antibiotic resistance. The last doctor I read said that nearly 70% of antibiotics produced are fed to farmed animals
It's more like over prescribing people with antibiotics. Particularly walk in clinics.
The use in animal agriculture is thought to be the biggest driver
Load More Replies...It's due to the overuse of antibiotics. Bacteria and viruses are evolving to move around them. I don't get sick often but I'm worried sometimes that I'm going to contract something that's stronger than OTC meds can deal with. I only use them when I have to. But even the flu has gotten worse.
May or not be related... my generation player outside before school, after school, all weekends and holidays. We watched a couple of hours of cartoons on the weekend and maybe a half hour or so during the week. We drank from the garden hose ate mud and sand, scraped our knees and hands (without going to the doctor or ER) and went to schools with snotty noses. Germs were shared, we got sick or we didn't but we survived and I would put money on our bodies back then being so much more healthy than kids today. Fresh air, running about, using our imaginations, Building stuff from scraps of wood, string and stuff, playing games. Kids miss out on that, but mostly the fresh air and using their imagination. Life could be better by looking back to see what worked and avoiding chemicals, food coloring, microwavd food and so much more. Ok, rant over.
Worse yet is even if you have had never had an antibiotic treatment you are still screwed.
Some of us old folks before the advent of anti bacterial everything still have pretty robust immune systems. Not to mention a lot more time playing on something that wasn't electronic.
Do not get antibiotics if you don't need them! This is creating "super bugs" and if you ask for antibiotics every time you get a cold or something, you're doing nothing but telling your body that the next time, they may not work and eventually nothing will and you can die from something totally treatable. All because you looked on WebMD and it told you that you had a bacterial infection. No, most infections are viral, and we just have to wait it out (take Tylenol, OTC meds for the symptoms). Also, if you DO have a cold or sinus issue, most clinics have a rule in place that they won't prescribe antibiotics until you've had the infection for a week or more. If at that point it's still lingering, then we need to investigate why. Please, PLEASE don't take them unless you absolutely have to and TAKE THEM ALL. Don't save some for next time; your body will betray you, and next time you'll be even worse off.

Edit: I just looked up his obituary (he passed in 2011) he apparently had Transverse Myelitis that led him to become paralyzed
Great news. Thanks to anti-vaxxers, Polio (the disease that plagued generations with paralyzed children) is making a comeback. There was an outbreak in New York City last year.

Hospital-acquired delirium is insanely common in hospitalized elderly patients.
Ever been woken up in the middle of the night by a hospitalized loved one thinking they're at home, in a hotel, in a different hospital, rambling about s**t that makes zero sense, and perhaps thinking it's a different year? I am every night. And I'm starting to lose my f*****g mind.
But you know what's f*****g hilarious? My grandma at 96 handled 2 weeks in the hospital with no issue, whereas my 68 year old father literally acts like a patient with dementia... Maybe he's developing dementia, I don't know. Again, I'm losing my f*****g mind too.
Do not even have to be elderly at all. Delirium is a very real.thing
Get the hospital to check for a UTI (urinary tract infection/cystitis).And then get them to check again, because UTIs can be sneaky and hard to diagnose. There is a super strong connection between delirium/dementia symptoms in the elderly and UTIs.
Yes I work in mental health. If someone is acting normal one day and suddenly develops full blown psychosis overnight, it is often UTI. Then person returns to regular self again after taking antibiotics. The sad thing is that people often don’t think to test for it and just assume the person has schizophrenia. It can go untreated a long time if doctor doesn’t think to check the urine.
Load More Replies...I've seen it a thousand times so to speak. Not very nice for all people concerned...It's basically a hypofunction of the brain
The elderly, like my lovely mum currently in a care home, often develop UTIs from not drinking enough and 'holding it' because they're embarrassed they need to ask for help. UTIs can quickly bring on delirium with the elderly but usually goes away once the infection is gone. It's very sad. Mum has dementia too so when she gets a UTI I try and make sure the care workers know quicker so she can be treated. It's so scary for her. And I'm thousands of miles away in USA and can't travel because of my health . life is a big test and I'm failing. 😢
For a lot of elderly patients it's dehydration. The overworked healthcare staff put their food and water on a tray which they can't reach then take it away again untouched. We had to take turns to go in and feed our grandparents ot they would have died of malnutrition.

Husband stitch is often done without a consent or sometimes even without woman knowing she got it
I read a story (online so who knows if it's true) that a husband watching the doctor stich his wife after delivery jokingly asked for "The Husband Stich." The doctor rightfully disgusted, asked him, "How small do you need it to be?" 🤣
You may be confusing "repairing a torn perineum" with the husband stitch. Women often tear during childbirth and are stitched back up to repair normal function. The husband stitch was a horrible practice wherein women were stitched up too much for the purposes of "tightening" the l area for the husband's sexual pleasure. This may still go on in other countries, but in the US it is not a legitimate procedure.
May I suggest, if anyone's partner 'jokes' about a husband stitch... anyone in the room asks him how small he needs it whilst extending their little finger and going 'mememe' in a high pitched tone...
I reflexively did a quick motion with my finger and squeaked “mememe.” Lol
Load More Replies...I haven't researched it or anything, but I don't really understand how a "husband stitch" would work in the first place. Do stitches cause regular (undamaged) flesh to fuse together? It would seem normal to stitch torn flesh back together in order to properly heal, but that would just get it back to "normal", not change the size of the opening to something smaller than before the birth. Am I missing something? 🤷🏼♂️
This happened to me. Without going into a long story, I had a traumatic injury to my perineum. The doctor stitched me up, and the result was scar tissue that made the opening so much smaller that I will now need reconstructive surgery if I ever want to have pain free sex again.

No, the husband stitch is basically an old wives tale at this point. And age doesn't really play a part in if you tear during childbirth or not. It depends on the person and the delivery. My sister had a teen pregnancy and she was fine, I have birth in my late thirties and I had to be cut so I didn't tear.

So not on purpose my fist was overstitched, it stretched a bit, obviously ripped during second but in general a better birth so second healed nice.

The husband stitch thing is more likely caused by incompetent medical staff doing a crappy job. OB/GYN is a field which requires office doctors to do surgical procedures--yet they do not receive the level of additional training surgeons get, and they are not weeded out based on technical surgical abilities. There is an entire subset to the the medical device industry especially dedicated to making surgery easier for these non-surgeons, often with terrible results for the patient. For example, laparoscopic surgical instruments are tricky to learn. So to help ob/gyns who can't quite master that perform tubal ligations, they made a product that's essentially a sharp little wire spring the physician can easily insert in the fallopian tubes instead. Easy peasy. The wire causes damage, with the idea of the scar tissue closing up the tube. But they didn't count on the wire bits splitting off and traveling around, doing damage.

Look up Kuru, CJD(Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease) , Fatal Familial Insomnia, Chronic Wasting Disease, Mad Cow Disease or any of the other types of prion diseases. They are some of the few illnesses that truly terrify me.
The husband stitch thing is more likely caused by incompetent medical staff doing a crappy job. OB/GYN is a field which requires office doctors to do surgical procedures--yet they do not receive the level of additional training surgeons get, and they are not weeded out based on technical surgical abilities. There is an entire subset to the the medical device industry especially dedicated to making surgery easier for these non-surgeons, often with terrible results for the patient. For example, laparoscopic surgical instruments are tricky to learn. So to help ob/gyns who can't quite master that perform tubal ligations, they made a product that's essentially a sharp little wire spring the physician can easily insert in the fallopian tubes instead. Easy peasy. The wire causes damage, with the idea of the scar tissue closing up the tube. But they didn't count on the wire bits splitting off and traveling around, doing damage.
