EDIT: I give up. 2017 resolution not to waste time trying to have a fact based conversation with the “but my (completely uninformed) opinion!” Crowd is finally kicking in.

Better fix the cirrent system than create an entirely new system (which isnt hard at all I guess?) that worsens healthcare for poor women and does nothing to fix financial barriers.

Or we could repair the existing structures set in place. If we do as you suggest, (just go to a dr.’s office which the author states wasnt feasible for many women), we then set up a two tier system where poor women have to take risks with their health and receive subpar care because they can’t go to a Dr.

Fuck, i think you cracked the code!

This is what i took from this tooz

“Have to admit” is where you lost me. What youre doing is staying within the realm of logic. If I’ve learned anything since January, its that we are no longer confined to logic. If you try to point out the inconsistency of bitching about Mrs Robinson while keepiNg a radio silence about trump, theyll just pivot to…

Is there another part of this email that explained the meaning of the egg on the little holster in the picture? Am i just really stupid for being confused by the header image?

No, thank you! I appreciate getting to have a discussion which involves my love of both pharmacy and politics! Friends and family have threatened to buy me a muzzle if i say anything else about prescriber rights for pharmacists.

I work in a pharmacy, so I know what pharmacists do. (And i appreciate that you do too. Most people seem to think a machine can replace the work pharmacists so.)

Clearly it cannot by effectively managed by many patients, as indicated by the significant difference between perfect use and typical use values. Women clearly need some medical professionals assistance, whether that be a pharmacist or a dr. But what people don’t seem to be getting is that pharmacists will start…

In this case, the persons point is lets not kill women with histories of breast cancer, with migraines with auras, or who are smokers over yhe age of 35 to prove a political point.

Ability to use it correctly without a Dr.’s help is one of the biggest factors in whether something can go Rx->OTC or not legally and this factor is considered for every single OTC switch. And I would think ability to use correctly would be important for a mistake that could potentially cost the patient hundreds of…

I gave zero fucks about politics until about June of 2008 so about grade 7 for me. It was glorious. I remember being only tangentially aware of what a dumbass Bush was as a child.

*raises hand*

I have the opposite. Exercise on my period makes my already shit period cramps worse. Also, ive noticed Im always about 5 lbs weaker on everything when weightlifting at that time. 

The diuretic is supposed to be for bloating, but this isnt as effective as most women would think. I wouldn’t recommend it if there was any cost difference between acetaminophen or ibuprofen and midol.

Midol is a combo med and really youre better off with just ibuprofen. I believe its an NSAID and a diuretic (which most women even with bloating do not need).

People in the healthcare industry arent thrilled by it either. Apparently, your insurance thinks you will be overcome by madness at having all the birth control your heart desires. That said, i fully support a 1 yr limit on renewals so the pt has to have the yearly no migraines with aura, not over 35 and smoking, no…

This is extra funny because i find a great parking spot to be an equally plausible band name as either Lukas nelson and the promise of the real or the bennie maupin ensemble.

This comment should be feminism’s slogan. So. Fucking. True.
