Ennui When Watching the Ocean

The onion man at the farmer’s market rants to me about preventative medicine. I’m his captive audience because I need an onion for the burger I’ll make for dinner tonight. I take the onion and tell the onion man I’ll pay him next week. The onion, now my captive audience, wedged in a tote bag I…

#exhausted from repeatedly being told by my dr. office to “call around’’ to find whether needed rx, vaccines or medical services are available & verify whether any of it is accepted or covered by insurance

Measles infections and symptoms pose far more longterm risks than most realize

Measles is so contagious that even one case is considered an outbreak. The resurgence around the world raises the risk of more serious complications and deaths.

Barbara Ehrenreich's book "Natural Causes: An Epidemic of Wellness, the Certainty of Dying, & Killing Ourselves to Live Longer" was sort of a strange #read. I'm usually a big fan, but she had her contrarianism cranked up to 110% here. If read thoughtful, it's a decent critique of #medicalization, and the #corporatization of longevity & death/dying. But, she seems to selectively use research, without noting the average benefits of #PreventativeMedicine. Also uses lots of anecdotal exceptions.

@hackernews@die-partei.social $10 billion spent every year in the US on annual medical checkups that have no good scientific basis. Australian medicine might be screwed up in a number of ways, but at least this isn’t one of them.

P.S. Also, super grateful that the recommendation for Pap smears has moved from annual to every five years, and that these can now be a self service test.
