It appears we can rest easy regarding this subject, per WP.com.

If the House version of the bill passes, it will be disastrous for our country. Most graduate students will either drop out or go deeply in debt. Graduate students’ indentured servitude work fuels the bulk of the technological advances made at our universities (think biomedical, engineering, materials science, etc.)

Okay carrying on with your example. Theoretically, enrollment rates drop dramatically on day 1. -> School adjusts tuition costs and/or the tuition waivers so they wouldn’t negatively affect the students in your example. -> Students start enrolling again for these programs using the school’s modified tuition waivers…

Paying a higher wage makes no difference since they’d still pay income taxes on that wage. What it’s going to do is force students to take out loans, which then puts them financially behind the eight ball for a solid 20 years. Some of those folks are going to choose to not go to graduate school in America; others will…

Truly fascinating. In HS bio we learned that chromosomes rarely change and are passed to our children and whole units. Then we learned that chromosomes can switch parts and are not passed along as discrete units. Then we learned about epigenetics, transgenetics, and now this latest sex-specific, epigenetic effects. A…

Yeah. I’d like to see an American version of this test and see those results. Absolutely believe childhood trauma can create mental illness (perhaps non neurotypical disordee is a better word?) but I’m fairly surprised at “but the boys were fine”.

However, the study also concluded that there was no effect among male children, and no effect among children of either sex born to fathers who participated in the analysis.

Oh, absolutely. But POC and women are all too often steered away from scientific fields, including medicine, which is another problem we need to solve.

That’s exactly what it does. It quells nausea and leads to patients being able to eat life-sustaining food, and it takes care of bone-crushing pain. It will not cure your cancer, but it will make life livable while you battle cancer.

CHEMO IS POISON! And it will fucking save your life.

The problem is that these anti-medicine people all have a shit ton of kids and grandkids. And the whole point of getting flu shots and other vaccines is, for most healthy people, not to avoid getting the illness yourself but to avoid spreading it to vulnerable people.

I can empathize with the reluctance you have, honestly its PTSD inducing even on adults when we hear ribs crack during CPR.. that is like, causing physical trauma to a human being! I really would encourage you, though, to work past that. Early and effective CPR is a really important step in preservation of not just…

I am not a medical professional, I did go through 10 hours of first aid training.

Pretty much every CPR instructor I’ve ever had has said that, properly done, CPR has a pretty good chance of cracking or breaking a rib. But broken ribs heal (assuming the person lives through the event that caused them to need CPR in the first place). Do the CPR, the ribs will get better.

I broke the dummy in CPR training. I’d still try if someone needed it though. Better cracked ribs than dead.

If you received a complete CPR course, you would have been properly trained to administer CPR on any age person, and told that some broken ribs are a small price to pay for being alive. In fact, effective CPR will REQUIRE you break ribs, to be able to put enough force on the heart to circulate oxygenated blood, so…

No matter the size of the person, you are going to break (not brake) a rib or two if you are performing CPR correctly. I have actually given first aid instructors a hard time for not warning students about the unintentional harm they are going to inflict on a patient while saving their life.

Yo, people can live with broken ribs... they can’t live without oxygen though.

It’s common for ribs to break during CPR. That’s how you know you’re doing it right.
