"...more than a month after its launch, the site, https://TrumpRx.gov, remains small — offering discounts on just 54 prescription drugs. Many of those drugs already have cheaper generic versions or savings programs available elsewhere, and the discounts can’t be used with insurance or count toward a deductible. Awareness of the site remains limited."

For some insane reason, #Utah decided to implement a “medical #AI” system.

Among other things, it can “diagnose” your illness, and send a report to a physician that includes recommended #prescription #medications. Slight hiccup, though; you can trick it to recommend whatever dose of whatever meds you want!

There are other glaring problems with Dr. Autocomplete, revealed in a detailed report here:

Genocide in Gaza | רופאים לזכויות אדם

https://www.phr.org.il/en/genocide-in-gaza-eng/ [28/07/2025]

> #PHRI [Physicians for Human Rights-Israel] is releasing a position paper that documents this #assault for what it is: a deliberate, cumulative dismantling of #Gaza’s health system, and with it, its people’s ability to survive. This amounts to #genocide. Israel’s #bombing of hospitals, destruction of medical equipment, and #depletion of #medications have made medical care […] virtually impossible.

#PSA: Two things--(1) #dental health is important and (2) mocking people for bad teeth is ableist

Last night I lost a big chunk of filling from my one of my molars. I am sure will need refilling as otherwise it won't be able to grind food as that's the only side with enough grinding surfaces left to do so. 😳

I have kept meticulous care of my teeth since I was a kid and even now as and adult; it was extraordinarily rare for to have a single cavity.

Post-2001 infusable #chemotherapy, my mouth #chemistry (#saliva) changed and 25+ years later still has the 'wrong' balance for proper dental protection, made worse by #DryMouth from other meds.

This means 8+ #cavities per year is now typical, plus the occasional #RootCanal (this means many of my teeth are literally dead but the root canal allows them to still function as long as they last).

Bottom line: take care of your teeth, but be aware that essential #MedicalCare can mess things up regardless. 😬
