And now we act like if you don't drive, you're not really allowed to have a full life. It negatively impacts kids, seniors, handicapped people and those who could potentially afford housing if they only needed to pay rent but can&

My dream career was urban planning. We used to design walkable cities and now we design a world that is car centric. Designing exercise into our daily lives used to be part of the urban planning profession. Paris was redone to put a stop

Eating right is health care. Exercise is health care. Decent housing is health care. Drugs and surgeries are medical care and I grew up with the weird idea that it's crisis management, not your first line of defense while acting like

There was a recent HN post about a weight-loss drug where I bit my tongue and did not try to "rebut" stuff there with a comment about diet and lifestyle . Methinks this problem runs deeper than paying doctors to promote drugs. Am

Your comment assumes no one remembers me and no one reacts to my username and gender unless I point it out. This seems implausible to me. I wish it really were that simple. I dont think it is. Additionally, your suggestion fundamentally dis

Makes me wonder what the mechanism is. Some drug that treats depression also helps people quit smoking. It treats a specific brain chemical not treated by some depression drugs.

When I was extremely sick, I was super frustrated with the 15 Minute Appointment. It was more infuriating than the things that inspired me to bitterly joke "They majored in medicine and minored in hubris and contempt." Some of my

I'm not suggesting gender is solely and entirely The Reason. I don't think I should have to say that. But it's a factor generally for women. Which doesn't assert men always get fabulous results every time, nor does it in

Women get dismissed a lot by doctors. (This is common enough knowledge I'm not going to provide citations in spite of being a woman posting on an overwhelmingly male forum. If you downvote this without doing a quick google: There'

I was a full-time mom and military wife when my kids were little. We moved into a 2 bedroom, 50 year old duplex at a new duty station and there was a low-ceiling basement that was mostly consumed by a giant boiler but there was one low-ceil

As a guess: Massage and salt water baths might help. Exercise helps the body take out the trash. Massage and salt water baths can also promote that process. Or just start really, really slow and gentle and track your progress? People seem

Coincidence? I would assume so. Reddit apparently launched some new "achievements" thing today. I've been assuming it's related to that being rolled out. New features typically involve some new bugs. I can comment, but

No. There are many moving parts to this problem. The article in question indicates they have discovered multiple new antibiotics and not approved them, so more novel drug research is unlikely to make much of a difference here. One element o

African tribes stopped an ebola epidemic. One of the things they did was they told people "Don't go to the white man's hospital." because you went in with something fixable, like a broken leg, and died of ebola. The book

Terrible title. This is specifically talking about toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection known to promote risky behavior. Entrepreneurs need to have a tolerance for risk that salaried employees often lack.

I imagine it's also ugly for unhoused people and homelessness has been on the rise for years. So you get beaned by a chunk of ice from the sky and now possibly have neurological issues on top of whatever else and may not see a doctor.
