Gah. My sister is an idiot. I’ll spare you the bulk of the discussion, but the key exchange goes like this:

Me: “Because I’m not Jewish, it is not my place to tell Jews whether or not they should find Ilhan Omar’s “Benjamins” tweet offensive. I know that many did, and thus Omar’s apology for causing offense while not backing off her point about AIPAC was the right thing to do.”

Her: “How dare you tell me what to think! Clearly you forget I’m Jewish!”

Is it just me? Because it seems she’s arguing with a point I not only didn’t make but also actively denied.

I ended up telling her the following:

N = (the number of Jews I can speak for)

N = 0

(The number of Jews she can speak for) = N + 1

BTW, this is the one who relates what we in the family call “Creative Memories”, like the time on FB when she was arguing with someone about Eisenhower, and said, “I knew Ike. I spent many happy hours as a child at the Eisenhower Farm”. (Oh, no, she fucking DIDN’T!!!)

I really, really wanted to say, “You know your family can see this, right? We were there.”

OT: Today I installed one of my new washer hoses. The hot water one is the new one. I could not break the connection of the cold one at the faucet. I looked at the faucet itself and it looks like someone (the ones who installed the washing machine over 20 years ago) painted something white colored on it. Since that hose has nothing wrong with it I will wait a little while and get a plumber to take care of it. Right now I ache all over from moving that &*^% washing machine to get to the hoses.

The idiot who killed the mafia guy on Staten Island… the way he got caught so quickly is because the fingerprint they traced him from was on file from a gun license application.

So while gun control didn’t prevent the murder, it did enable the murderer to be caught super-quick.

That white you are seeing may be Teflon tape or some kind of pipe compound. It is applied to help seal the threads of the connection and prevent seepage. Pipe compound gets old and dry and might need some extra work to get the connection loose.

Or, it is crusty salts that sometimes build up on a connection and gets hard and makes the connection more or less glued with dried salt.

Do you have access to some WD-40? If you do, spray just a tiny amount at the top of the hose connection and let it work it’s way into the threads. Spray and let it work awhile, even overnight. Then try to break the connection free.

Pearson can be a damn mess at times. Whenever I go home to Canada, I take a domestic flight to Buffalo or Detroit and drive from there.

When it looked like the airport was going to be fogged in I asked if we could retrieve our luggage and just drive home. They laughed and said NOPE haha.

And yet… from here in western NY, it’s pretty much the only useful option for international flights. It’s either a puddle jumper from Rochester to JFK or DTW and then waiting hours for a flight to Europe, or a shorter drive to YYZ and then straight on to the international flight.

I am exhausted. This has been a very long two weeks at work.

I have been broken. No more joint care with midwife patients. Alabama now has lay midwives coming out the woodwork.

These people and their patients are the ob version of flat earthers. You can’t even say they are the ob version of anti-vaxxers since they are all anti-vaxxers anyway.

I can’t handle arguing about basic accepted medical practice anymore. We are talking about Rhogam for Rh negative patients when we know the father is Rh positive. Rh sensitization used to kill many babies.

We are talking about a lay midwife recommending putting a piece of the placenta in the cheek after delivery if the woman starts bleeding instead of pitocin. This has absolutely no scientific basis.

This week I had to deal with patient who had to be induced because she was sick (as in so sick she would have died before modern obstetrics) refuse pitocin. She then did not understand why she had still not had the baby after 2 days. Finally, she just got so tired she agreed to the the pitocin and we had the baby in less than 4 hours.

Pitocin is just a brand name of the hormone oxytocin which causes the uterus to contact. It is like saying Kleenex instead of facial tissues.

Also, one of my patients had a stillborn. No obvious cause.

Also, try explaining to evangelicals that there is really no such thing as a third trimester abortion. We call it a delivery after inducing for medical indications. That was several times last week.

How many people truly think we would kill a baby after it is born? If a baby has a lethal abnormality, you make the baby as comfortable as possible and let the parents hold it. You then try and give them any support you can.

I can’t take this much longer. I have been broken.

Sorry about rambling. I am just so tired.

After my 9th (yes I have 9!) was born I told them to leave in the pitocin drip. They said “your baby is already born, you don’t need it any more!” I said “My uterus is flabby and if you remove the pitocin drip now I WILL HEMORRHAGE.”

They removed it and yes I did hemorrhage. I pushed the panic button and the nurses came running and I’m like I TOLD YOU just before I passed out.

When I came to the IV drip was back in place.

Women who have many children are at high risk for postpartum hemorrhage. That is why having 7 or more children is considered a risk factor for us.

For people like you we normally plan on continuing pitocin and usually give extra medication like misoprostol just in case. This also applies to large babies, twins and women with a history of postpartum hemorrhage. This is planned for in advance and I discuss it in the office during the pregnancy.

I just don’t understand. One out of four women used to die from complications of pregnancy before modern obstetrics.

Just some side nerd info - this is what used to keep the sex ratio even years ago since males have always died off faster than women.

One more ob nerd fact. Stirrups were originally stirrups (yes the horse kind). One the French kings wanted to see a baby being born so the contraption they rigged up used horse stirrups.

Next time you are at the ob/gyn office, take the foot covers of the stirrups and just look at them.

And they feel just about as comfortable as actual stirrups would be. The angle is never quite right.

The Apollo 13 crew faced CO2 asphyxiation when they realized the CO2 scrubbers in the command module were insufficient for a crew of three. IIRC they were all creeping toward CO2 narcosis by the time the ground crew devised a jerryrigged solution using the lunar lander’s scrubbers, which naturally were of a different size and shape from the command module scrubbers because government contractors.

If you look at any responses to tweets, Trumpers are deranged. Of course, some might actually be Russian bots designed to foment disagreement. But based on my conversations with Red Hat family members/friends, it’s best to avoid most political topics. I wonder if there are cult deprogrammers who have had success with members of the Trump fan base.

That’s exactly what I look for in a physician. I know a lot already, but I certainly don’t know it all and I want my doctors to explain things to me. It’s why I’ve always been the designated family member for physicians to talk to when family members have been hospitalized.

It’s tough dealing with willful ignorance and caring more about the people than they seem to care about themselves.

Very popular Youtube content creator. His follower count reflects his enormous subscribe count.

My knowledge of him is not an endorsement, but he is a successful entertainment entrepreneur and brand-as-person. He’s got this “deep and authentic if you have little life experience” thing that sells well, and I suspect his consumption audience is a lot of kids.

Well, it’s Donald Trump, so WTF knows what sparks through that addled mush he uses for a brain, but in normal political terms it’s probably a matter of name recognition. The “coal industry” is pretty much faceless, hundreds of mines in several states, run by scores of operator, none of which are household names.
GM, though is easily one of the most familiar corporate “brands” in America, and closing the Lordstown plant is a far simpler issue people can grasp. And, also, like everything to do with The Orange Anus, it’s probably a personal affront: didn’t he make a point of touting Lordstown during the campaign?
