I have conflicting thoughts on this, as a former Texas medical school drop-out that participates on this website because it's_comfy.gif:
1) Ken Paxton is a powerful idiot/golum. Throw rocks, carefully.
2) Acetaminophen is waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy overtaken/prescribed
3) Acetaminophen should not be added to most opiod preparations (e.g. common hydroxies of 5mg/325mg oxy/acetaminophen) [it quickly fucks up the liver at high/constant dosage]
4) Reverting to purer opiod pills would reduce the imports/effects/DEATHS related to fentanyl-laced streets drugs (whether the users are actively or deceptively seeking fent directly), it kills when mistaken/miss-taken.
5) Can we please just replace all of Texas' higher political representation... maybe do a "national reset" of political powerhouses by imposing term/age limits upon house reps at state/national levels, as well as similar to how Texas does SCOTex with mandatory retirement at 75 years old. There should certainly NOT be leaders that are 80+ years old! Retire, already; you earnt it, remember (can you remember?)..!
6) [trigger warning: trauma] I would recon things like GM (and other early childhood trauma) are more determinant in eventual autism claims, which would support its much higher prevalence among US boys/men.
7) In general acetaminophen-based products are overprescribed. I'm not sure if this was a rumor, but back two decades when I attended my first (and only) year of medical school: we were taught that acetaminophen was only put into opiod preparations to deter addicts (which was laughable, even then, since half the class had some sort of chemical addiction — we knew it well would not deter).
- mcphage 1y ago> GM (and other early childhood trauma) What does "GM" mean here?
- anigbrowl 1y agoGenital mutilation. People are circumspect about it because circumcision is a quasi-political/religious issue in the US.
- berbec 1y agoAh yes, the ubiquitous "foreskin to autism" pipeline....
- ProllyInfamous 1y ago"childhood trauma to autism" pipeline ...is more accurate. The procedure you make jest at is among the most horrific "medical" surgeries I have ever witnessed (during my brief medical training, doctor dropout, myself "cut") — I have seen few adult humans express such similar pain (either facially or even with words). Absolutely barbaric, which few medical reasons immediately justify.
- mmooss 1y agoWhat are those claims based on? Are you trying to tell us something about claims by people from Texas? I know some smart Texans, so that's really unfair. :)
- ProllyInfamous 1y agoI am in no way attacking your Smart Texas Friends. Help me understand your question and I'll try to answer (better). I graduated summa cum laude from a public Texas high school, attended college on a full-tuition scholarship, attended a Texas medical school for one year, only, and then left Texas permanently, about a decade ago. But I will always identify as a Native Smart Texan™, friend. I moved to a then-less_conservative state, which is now solidly red... so probably moving again, within a few years, specifically to a more moderate, but rural state. If we want to really discuss "unfair" can we talk about Texas' recent gerrymandering?!
- mmooss 1y agoSorry, that was a little ambiguous. My real question was in the first sentence: Where do all the claims come from?
