Do you know how many Dr.s a parent deals with? After hours, you don't go to your family Dr. This year alone Ive probably seen a dozen Dr.s Ive had some Drs push antibiotics after they literally just said a persistent cough is probably

You are correct. I arrive at conclusions based on my life experiences and what I've learned along the way. We literally give industrial quantities of antibiotics to animals. So antibiotic preservation is not an honest reason to lock th

Which is why I get annoyed when Dr. prescribe them more liberally than I would; for things that they'll admit are probably viral. But when a girl with a history of UTI is screaming in pain they come back with "Id rather wait for t

So Ive been told. And yet the Dr gives them out in exactly the same circumstances as I would if I could. Perhaps more liberally, since Im far more concerned about the consequences to my kids of destroying their gut flora.

Ya, but I wouldn't be surprised if half the white noise guys are watching farming videos or woodworking videos to calm their anxiety at night. Clearly, Im projecting.

Thats also a reflection of the way american cities are laid out, with large physical separations between where you work and where you live. Im glad to live in America, but the way cities are laid out elsewhere makes more sense.

I knew a (great) artist who spent almost her whole life in Norway and Sweeden. Shes in her nineties, speaks a half dozen languages, worked for Norwegian public TV. That is to say she's walked in the highest echelons on Nordic society.
