echinopsis posted:overall we probably pay the least for our wholesale medicines in the entire western world the pharmaceutical benefits scheme is pretty similar but ~price signalling~ so we still pay like $30 to $40 for some things our doctor visits range from free (bulk billed to medicare) or a hundred to two hundred bucks, tho, so we do pretty alright main issue is that there's politically driven decision making, so things like prep dont get on the list despite having huge public health benefits, and uncommon conditions (or conditions thought of as uncommon, or conditions with medications that people who dont need them think are fun) kinda get shafted depending on the day of the week, lol and then there's the politicians wanting to have medicare pay doctors less, etc, because ~government spending is bad~, etc god, even your loving nats are at least moderately ok w/ lgbt folks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Greenstein lmao, dude got shot and the bullet just flattened on his forehead then a few years later beat up a bunch of nazis and got away with it, noice

Awia posted:what do you mean compounded? compounded medications are where the pharmacist has to actually compound the medications - get the ingredients, put them in the capsules, etc it's super uncommon, but occasionally a doctor will prescribe a medication that has to be compounded for the right amounts of each active ingredient, or which isn't sold pre-made for whatever reason (I think ergotamine is sold normally in the US but in aus concerns about its relation to Ergot and LSD have prevented that) basically think 'research chems' but prescribed by a doctor and regulated

HEY NONG MAN posted:just do what I do and never get sick dietary adjustment has mostly worked for me you can also get buscopan over the counter that works really well for the discomfort stuff Squeezy Farm posted:Games are p much the most engaging, creative way to tell a story these days. No other medium has an equal level of interactivity. If that's childish, well... i dont disagree, interactivity is really good, but games are increasingly railroading decisions and stuff + often the stories aren't that great to begin with unfortunately it'll mature sooner or later
