I’m sorry for your experience, but it is not the norm and it is good for other people to know that so that they don’t use your anecdote as a reason to avoid getting a procedure.

Yeah, it’s really easy to get a colonoscopy if you have any relevant symptoms. I had my first at 28(iirc) due to bowel habit changes unrelated to diet. I had others in my 30s. Never had any pushback from doctors or insurance.
Cancer screening is just about the only thing health insurance companies don’t push back much against because it saves thema lot of money in the long run.


The recommended age to start getting a mammogram is 40 and you are unlikely to have to fight to get an appointment for one. I even had it automatically pop up in health portals as something I needed to schedule after my I turned 40.


This is the literal plague, which is highly treatable with antibiotics, so we have to assume that they are researching ways to make plague more contagious and/or less treatable.


Fuck yeah. Letitia James can get it handled.

So nice seeing Hungary get their shit back together.


Its core demand has been the resignation of the education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, over exam chaos, after this year’s medical entrance exam – where more than 2 million students compete for just 130,000 places – was again leaked to the highest bidder, forcing it to be scrapped and for students to face retaking the gruelling tests. The fiasco has been linked to more than 20 suicides.
Wider frustrations over alleged failures in the education system and a lack of job opportunities for India’s youth have also mobilised support.
Good reasons to be angry.


I can appreciate that, but could you be more specific? Many in the US would see it as a positive for women’s rights to be able to have a surrogate baby, for example. And having a baby via surrogacy is so expensive that generally the parents are well off enough that they can provide for a child and want to do so.


Why is surrogacy criminalized in Germany, France, Italy, etc?


lol, of course he bought it from a drug trafficking fraudster.


Sounds more coerced than brainwashed.


It’s not California being a dick. But the boycott is justified all the same.


The US credit system is designed to favor the well-off and entrench poverty in everyone else.


This is the first one I saw when I read it two days ago.


No one should. There is no simple rule for determining mushroom edibility, and definitely not that one.


Maybe if it gets reported enough, more cultures will pick up on it.


Is this a typical sentence for the crimes he was found guilty of?
Maybe if your police didn’t react to protests with violence, the protests would not have grown and spread.
