It is definitely cursed, though.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
More pressing, who is credentialing people in infernal medicine?

"Care and Concern" is the industry/insurance term for "bedside manner."

"Congrats, you at least pissed off far less patients when seeing or treating them!" It's about asking "pertinent and 'showing care' questions" like asking after side effects on prescribed medicines, following up on previously discussed concerns, and--depending on the employer--the "How are you doing?" and actually waiting for an answer instead of skipping it because the answer is obvious.

Sometimes patients just want that poo poo over with and think the small talk is stretching out the appointment and condescending, and sometimes patients throw huge loving fits if the doctor isn't their friend and buddy before the 15-minute appointment concludes. Arbitrary metrics don't differentiate; and those metrics are directly related to funding, payments, and income, so guess who has to jump through those hoops? :v:



EDIT: The curse is me, for having to deal with the health insurance industry and not telling them to roundly stuff it up their collective asses on the way out the door.

I realise saying this to a goon is kind of moot but your dating life with this sort of problem is beyond hosed. There is just no good way out of that problem.

Well, men are generally great, so I don’t know quite what you’re talking about. I’d imagine they’ll be attracted to her for her uniqueness and perseverance in the face of physical challenges. Am I wrong about this? Maybe I need to recalibrate my faith in humanity (by being tiny and getting lovely drunk for a week on a single rack of the cheapest shittiest beer there is)

Pretty much. The only people that are going to be attracted to her are the type of people she REALLY wouldn't want attracted to her.

I'm sure she could meet a nice young dwarf fella and there'd be nothing weird about it.

But literally any other guy attracted to her just sets off a trillion red flags and alarm bells.

That has to be a nightmare for her.

I can only speak from personal experience, but one of my friends my school had a sister with numerous issues, one of which was appearing childlike in stature, and she took growth hormones her entire life and they didn't do poo poo. I mean, maybe gave her an inch in height, at best.

Yeah for real I absolutely think she would be hilarious to hang out with. As in, not to laugh at, just that her perspectives on everything have to be amazing

It was also amazing watching that and thinking about how much easier her life would obviously be if she were a Goon who never went to bars and just played video games all day

It was in test markets earlier in the year and I'm not sure if it has rolled out nationwide. Warning, it is only available sugar and caffeine free.
