Tiny Timbs posted:I am absolutely in love with the argument that something fishy must be going on because Biden beat Obama with support from The Blacks. *In some counties. **And only in the raw vote totals, not voting share, for an election where roughly 30,400,000 more people voted than 2012. Even though in the very previous sentence he is saying that he should have won because he got more raw votes in 2020 (the highest turnout election in recent history) than he did in 2016 (the lowest turnout election in modern history). It's pretty clear that he is just wildly flailing and this is for the true believers to eat up. I don't think even he really believes that getting more votes than you did in the previous election means you should win (even if the other person gets more votes than you).

They do the fingers up the butt thing with me every 1-2 years and have a light and a camera. But, I am now learning (somewhat concerningly) that maybe I also need to talk to my doctor about whether that is necessary or if he is just putting fingers up the butt for nothing as well.

I believe the colorectal exam guideline was pushed back, I think to 45, because the average lifespan was getting long enough that the false positive rate was outweighing benefit. Same with prostate exams, though I don't have numbers- and I think it's been all bloodwork for a while now. All of this is subject to other factors, ofc.

The mass shooter in North Carolina last night was a 15-year old boy. Not clear if he knew any of the victims, what a potential motive was, or where he got the semi-automatic rifle. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1580936822405812224 Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Oct 14, 2022 |

But, google/WebMD/American Cancer Society says that they are still done? At least as of 2020. quote:The digital rectal exam is an important screening test that can discover prostate cancer that a prostate-specific antigen or PSA test may not, despite the higher sensitivity of the PSA test, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. quote:Who Should Get a Digital Rectal Exam? quote:The digital rectal exam (DRE) may also be done as a part of screening.

"Five lives were taken in a senseless act of violence in northeastern Raleigh near the Neuse River Greenway, including one of our own students. Two others were injured. The shooter was taken into custody with life-threatening injuries."

I'm so sick of mass shootings, and I'm so sick of the gaslighting I receive when I say that maybe people shouldn't have access to killing machines. It's going to take decades to rid ourselves of the insane amount of guns in America; we need to start as soon as possible.

He seems pretty up to date about the other stuff. Digital rectal exams are still done, yeah. Both the prostate and a lot of bowel cancers are palpable on DRE, and a lot of bowel cancers metastasize to the spine. So we'll do them on men with urinary complaints and people with unexplained back pain or frank rectal bleeding, plus others. Also for things like sphincter tone in trauma cases. Not super common outside the ED but still done. Endoscopy gets arranged subsequently for a more definitive assessment if indicated.

The others were a cop and various people who happened to be on the greenway trail where he was attempting to flee. No official word on the gun yet but they're saying it's a "long gun" and considering he was able to kill & wound that many people, I'm gonna go ahead and guess some kind of AR.
