What the dumbfuck should have done is inform HR first before dragging in the regional. Not sure if this matters or not, but one of my co-workers told me recently if I ever need to go to HR for something, to contact an HR person that's not in my district. Because the HR people in my district have likely had several meetings with managers over the course of the past few years, and are on a pretty friendly term with them and might not look at something objectively, compared to an HR rep from another district. Either way, we're supposed to hate Josh because he's written in a way that we're supposed to hate him, just like Holbrook wants us to like Kevin and Kell's family when they're literally murdering people. But it's okay when they do it.

Why should you listen to them, it's not like they went to very expensive and grueling schools to learn how the human body should or should not work. Yeah I didn't want to mention it but that entire strip comes off as really anti-medicine and anti-vaccine. Something I'd think of Jenny loving KidKiller McCarthy to spout. poo poo, did FOOB ever do anything similar?

Something I'd think of Jenny loving KidKiller McCarthy to spout. ...vaccines aren't mentioned at all though? I dunno, I'm probably poisoned by knowledge of the future, having seen later stories that are quite pro-medicine (if sometimes anti-rear end in a top hat-doctor). It's also a thing that, thanks to affordable healthcare and near-universal coverage, Japanese doctors do tend to err on the side of over-medicating, so "doctor says it's almost certainly nothing serious but let's do this thing just in case" is often read as "that means there's nothing to worry about actually," as it was here.

Well, yeah, juice is a separate issue, I'm not saying she's a super mom or anything - but here at least there is juice for babies, which is to regular fruit juice as baby food is to regular food - i.e., pretty much just water. My main point is that bringing post-COVID-pandemic antivax baggage to a strip about someone in a very different social / medical context is perhaps something to be careful of. A doctor saying "blood tests confirm that it's almost certainly nothing, but let's do this extremely disruptive thing anyway just to be sure," in a context where most people have reason to believe that doctors in that situation are indeed likely to be overreacting because insurance will cover the cost of another visit and blood test, is very different from a doctor saying "you need to vaccinate your child against measles or put them at risk of dying, and everything we know about medicine backs me up very strongly" and then deciding you know better and not doing so.

Cowslips Warren posted:pretty much what the mom is thinking/saying falls under a lot of antivax crap. "oh doctors don't know everything, I'm the mother, I know best!" So with that context, the comic posted today isn't about 'what do doctors know', but her asking for the risks and assessing it and deciding based on that. I really don't think she would have avoided bringing her baby to the hospital if his fever hadn't broken, and she was perfectly fine with her son getting blood tests to see if he had jaundice, it's just that the blood test results were not in line with jaundice. If anything, it feels to me like the joke about first time parents running to doctors for everything, and second-time parents having the experience to assess their baby's health better, except she's confident enough to have skipped past the anxiety. Basically, I'm not disagreeing that the comic sounds like a dogwhistle in a vacuum, but with the context of stuff so far I don't get that read from it, since she's generally been quite positive about how much she learned from the nurses and doctors at the hospital about newborn care.
