Jfc you dumb rear end in a top hat doctors a patient having a headache doesn't mean they have a loving venous thromboembolism how do you even jump to that being your first diagnosis? Good loving god hey how about you do something about their uncontrolled diabetes and stage 3 renal failure and see if that does anything for the headache.

Hospitals are full cause doctors don't understand KISS applies to medicine too. You're not dr. House, your patient doesn't have some rare hard to diagnosis disease that you're going to crack the case and be the hero.

It's funny because even in the show House M.D. there's a huge running gag about how it's not this one relatively rare disease. That and something about confusing horses for zebras.

Coming from a country that eats horses, it's more of a "waste not, want not" thing as a byproduct of regular riding- and racehorse breeding.

Oh wow - this is kind of an important detail that Pfizer left out of their earnings report:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/25/us/politics/pfizer-vaccine-booster-trial-results.html

quote:

Pfizer and BioNTech said on Wednesday they were now applying to the Food and Drug Administration for supplemental approval of a coronavirus vaccine booster shot for those aged 16 and up, and will submit all their supporting data by the end of this week. The move came as the companies said that a third shot of the vaccine sharply increased the levels of antibodies against the virus.

The companies conducted a study of 306 volunteers who received a booster shot about five to eight months after their second shot. Researchers found that the level of antibodies that block the coronavirus jumped more than three times higher than the level after the second dose.

The side effects of a third injection were about the same as after the initial two doses, the companies said. The underlying data was not included in the news release, nor were the dates or location of the study specified. The companies said they were preparing a scientific publication describing the research.

quote:

Pfizer executives presented an early look at their booster data on July 23, during their second-quarter earnings call. In a smaller study, they found that antibody levels dropped markedly in the months following a second dose. But those levels jumped back up after a third dose. When researchers expanded their focus to a larger group of subjects, they continued to find a strong effect from the boosters.

Antibodies that can neutralize the coronavirus are only one kind of defense our immune systems use to fight it. The new study did not include details about other defenses provoked by the vaccine, such as immune cells trained to kill infected cells.

The participants in the new booster study were between the ages of 18 and 55. It was not immediately clear why the study did not include older people. Volunteers were followed for a median period of 2.6 months.

:wtf:

So there's no booster trial/data for old people?

I'm now on my second respirator purchase of the last month and I already had one. That 3m clicky gots me saying "but yeah what about when I only need the mask for the period I'mm picking up food from the drive-thru window" so I got a 6500OL (helps that I accidentally bought the wrong filters for the click at first so I now have some other filters begging to be used). I started using my Cambridge masks again when delta popped up but that's hard to breathe in, and I almost like breathing in the respirator (that might be more of a commentary about how bad my lungs are at the moment in general (rips @ me))

They're the easiest masks to breathe through, the secure click feels almost as easy as no mask. It's because the filters have a LOT more surface area than a normal mask can possibly have. And they can't be sucked against your mouth like a cloth or surgical mask can be.

the social change we've got since then (believe me, as a transgender woman i am deeply, deeply aware of this, although my state government sure seems to think i should still be lobotomized) has been great, but it's come at the same time as a massive backslide in the economy and a wealth redistribution to the capitalist class of a scale not seen since the 19th century. It's nice to not be bludgeoned in the street, but also people back then could get a stable union factory job and survive with a reasonably comfortable middle class existence. This is now impossible.
