Just because you poo-pooed the concept of patriarchy as "ideological" and said a world without men would be just as socially oppressive as this one

Or you're poo poo-poor at making whatever point you think you have.

Edit: Actually, you're right. You just rolled your eyes at the suggestion of patriarchy as a factor, and then said Koalas March is ideological. For, I guess, pointing it out as a factor.

Much better.

Also, you can’t quit if you are a resident. It’s not easy to walk away as an attending, but if your OK with dealing with the no compete and hauling rear end elsewhere you in theory can do that. It takes financial reserve and a lot of willingness to deal with bullshit, but you have marketable skills and permission to use them

If you are a resident? Sorry. Transferring out is incredibly hard to do. Walk out? You just walked out on the opportunity to make good on all that debt and years of schooling. You’re stuck there, period. You might not even qualify for a real medical license in a lot of states so you would just be done.

And it’s not like you just apply for a job as a trainee. You apply to places you like and if they like you, then you go on an interview. You’ll spend a few hours hanging out, meet a few people, get a guided tour of an hour or two at most. You have to make a call on what amounts to a 3-5 year commitment based on that.

When the interviews are all done you rank from first to last the places you interviewed at and would like to go. Residency programs do the same thing with applicants. You can choose not to rank a place you hated, but most people will rank everywhere they interview.

Then those lists get fed into a black box algorithm and spit out a result. Allegedly weighted towards the applicant. That result is binding. Whatever that algorithm spits out your are obliged to go there. You signed a contract that says you’ll sign the contract for whatever place you match. If you don’t, well you may not get to apply to residency again. Ever.

Upside is the residency program is obliged to take you. If a program gets a lovely resident though they can deal with that situation far easier than a resident who finds themselves in a lovely or malignant program.

Match into a program you hate? Too bad. Getting a transfer is a Massive hurdle, and you need to very careful about how you go about it. Most cases I have heard of (I know of one) involve things like death and major life changes like got married to someone who matched at another program.

If you are married to someone in the match the stakes just got higher. If they’re in a tougher field it gets a lot harder to place both of you in the same region, let alone the same hospital. Relationships do end or go on multi-year long distance hitches because of the match.

More good stuff. Thanks.

Vaginal steam treatments were getting pushed in fairly mainstream spas for a little bit.

There was also the stuffing oak galls up there that was a fad. So was glitter capsules. Yogurt's another one often used as an attempt to home remedy treat a yeast infection but since the lactobacillus in yogurt's a different strain than the one in the vagina, the remedy's no good.

The normal response is to shut the gently caress up, harden the gently caress up and how dare you complain,ingrate. That, or “you’re a doctor you’re rich how can you have problems”.

It is amazing that the suicide rate among doctors and trainees is so low.

If folks are interested, I wrapped up my research into one Jamake Highwater - better known as the Star Trek Voyager consultant on Native American affairs - and it was pretty illuminating how this guy got away with playing his part for so long. Details and sources contradicted each other but thanks to a bit of detective work and a few phone calls I mustered up as many facts as I could to put this together:

One thing I'm trying really hard to do, which I think is important if you make a habit of reading these kinds of stories that make you go "what?", is taking a neutral tone. Pretending you're a Native American to sell books and lectures is very not cool but the more I researched into this guy the more it seemed like he really believed his own lie. He admitted to it being a fabrication of course, though I do wonder if the rock-and-roll journalist lifestyle in the '60s had some effect on his mind...

Cool video. Interesting and succinct. A suggestion I have is, when you say something like, “... or look back on with the same puzzlement some people look back on other things from the past with,” give some examples that relate in some way to the topic at hand.

After I had a dream about the Franklin Expedition and its famous disaster - over a hundred men dead, accounts of cannibalism, the works - I looked up other incidents of cannibalism on the high seas.

Essex. A sperm whale decided to gently caress it up, sank it, and the twenty surviving crewmembers had to take to their whaling boats to survive.

quote:

The men suffered severe dehydration, starvation, and exposure on the open ocean, and the survivors eventually resorted to eating the bodies of the crewmen who had died. When that proved insufficient, members of the crew drew lots to determine whom they would sacrifice so that the others could live. A total of seven crew members were cannibalized before the last of the eight survivors were rescued, more than three months after the sinking of the Essex.

[...]

By February 1, the food on Pollard's boat was again exhausted and the survivors' situation became dire. The men drew lots to determine who would be sacrificed for the survival of the remainder. A young man named Owen Coffin, Captain Pollard's 17-year-old first cousin, whom he had sworn to protect, drew the black spot. Pollard allegedly offered to protect his cousin, but Coffin is said to have replied: "No, I like my lot as well as any other". Lots were drawn again to determine who would be Coffin's executioner. His young friend, Charles Ramsdell, drew the black spot. Ramsdell shot Coffin; Ramsdell, Pollard, and Barzillai Ray consumed the body.

I’ve done actual relief work, both domestic and overseas. It’s disgusting how that filth talks about these places and disasters in general - its an opportunity for their own self-aggrandizement.

I was working in a flood shelter and a bunch of these fuckers show up bringing bibles and tracts and the like. I’m sure someone might have appreciated it, but we needed clothes, toilet paper, tampons, toothpaste drugs I can actually use (the bin we had was full of ADHD amphetamine samples). They just preached and took up space. At least bring some coloring or activity books for the kids. Playing cards, hell just blank paper would be fine, anything to relieve the boredom.

You have a gymnasium full of people that have lost everything not even 5 days before. How dare you show up with only bibles and tracts and claim your doing good.

Doubt it. We were working with Red Cross at the time and I think they have stores of meds, a lot of which are donated. My theory is local clinics just emptied out their sample cabinets. Lot of exotic new drugs that nobody there could afford and I wouldn’t start anyway, I just kept people on what they were on and had lost as best as I could and gave antibiotics to people that had been exposed to the filthwater.

We had some useful stuff don’t get me wrong, big Pharmacy bottles of antibiotics and the like. The ADHD meds were an outlier and stood out because... why?

I hate that believing in an afterlife leads some people to treat the real material needs of human beings as less important than "saving souls".

it's easy to say God is great when you live a relatively privileged life but the gall of trying to push that on someone whose family, friends, and neighbors don't have enough food and are dying of preventable diseases is just sickening. If I was starving and sick I'd be more inclined to listen to someone who actually helped alleviate my suffering than someone who told me I just had to believe in their god
