I live an hour and a half to two hours away from Glen Falls, and I’m surprised yet somehow not surprised at the same time that this is going on. What really surprised me was that this isn’t in TX or FL, it’s New York. I’ve lived in upstate NY for nearly five years now, and I’ve found that the further you are from the…

It goes against nearly every instinct I have to be on the side of an investment firm, particularly one with a name like Franklin Templeton, but... here we are.

If the US ever had the greatest healthcare system, it was more than a few decades ago.

Once they put her on the blacklist, she probably sees that the system is broken. Where do you go next? To the media.

I think her goal is not only finding relief but in sharing the insanity of her attempts to get competent and compassionate care. I certainly didn’t know this was a thing. And I bet a lot of other people didn’t either. Was Tiktok the best place to bring this to public attention? I don’t know. It seems to have worked.

Someone tell me again how the US has the greatest healthcare system in the world.

I dont think it’s bad to have folks sign a waiver saying they understand if they got pregnant while on the medication it can cause birth defects but it should 100% remain the patients choice. 

Wow, I’ve heard a lot of shitty things from doctors, but, “hey, sorry, you could get raped one day and get pregnant as a result, and we need to consider that potential baby over your current, actual needs” has be be one of the worst?

This almost 100% goes to the fact that this is a pain related issue and far to many doctors don’t believe women when they say they are in pain. This is like women getting full hysterectomy and getting sent home from the hospital being told to take to ibuprofen for the pain. Can’t prescribe them “dangerous” opioids.

If the doctor’s personal philosophy potentially violated the Hippocratic oath, then she’s well within her rights. Or will you also be clutching pearls about the other patients that posted negative reviews of the same doc as well and telling what they should be doing instead?

Another shocking part of this is the idea that hospitals can not only withhold treatment, but also advise OTHER hospitals to withhold treatment, from patients.

File ALL the lawsuits.

JFC...the religious right is no better than the fucking Proud Boys, etc. The religious right are certainly more dangerous. I’m wondering why these teachers or counselors didn’t just step in, stop this shit and take the students back to school. There’s a 0% chance I would have tolerated this shit.

Can’t undermine parents’ authority if they're not exerting any! 

Actually, Tang predates the space program. It came to prominence when it was used on the Mercury flights and became popular because, well space.

It’s challenging to muster empathy for someone who lost his sister to a brutal murder, watched as the state confidently told him and his family they had caught the guy who did it, and then successfully convicted him and sent him to prison for life, had that wound reopened with Serial, watched the state react to that…

don’t forget this classic movie about the butcher of drogheda

Matt Gaetz: the lovechild between roofies and Axe Body Spray

Since part of their reasoning for doing this is to give the “illegals” to the liberal states whose policies facilitated their migration so they can pay for the unwanted additional expenses.

Which could have resulted in them being charged under state laws and not being able to practice anyway, which impacts an even larger segment of the community that needs them.
