1) Ken Paxton is a powerful idiot/golum. Throw rocks, carefully.
2) Acetaminophen is waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy overtaken/prescribed
3) Acetaminophen should not be added to most opiod preparations (e.g. common hydroxies of 5mg/325mg oxy/acetaminophen) [it quickly fucks up the liver at high/constant dosage]
4) Reverting to purer opiod pills would reduce the imports/effects/DEATHS related to fentanyl-laced streets drugs (whether the users are actively or deceptively seeking fent directly), it kills when mistaken/miss-taken.
5) Can we please just replace all of Texas' higher political representation... maybe do a "national reset" of political powerhouses by imposing term/age limits upon house reps at state/national levels, as well as similar to how Texas does SCOTex with mandatory retirement at 75 years old. There should certainly NOT be leaders that are 80+ years old! Retire, already; you earnt it, remember (can you remember?)..!
6) [trigger warning: trauma] I would recon things like GM (and other early childhood trauma) are more determinant in eventual autism claims, which would support its much higher prevalence among US boys/men.
7) In general acetaminophen-based products are overprescribed. I'm not sure if this was a rumor, but back two decades when I attended my first (and only) year of medical school: we were taught that acetaminophen was only put into opiod preparations to deter addicts (which was laughable, even then, since half the class had some sort of chemical addiction — we knew it well would not deter).
I graduated summa cum laude from a public Texas high school, attended college on a full-tuition scholarship, attended a Texas medical school for one year, only, and then left Texas permanently, about a decade ago.
But I will always identify as a Native Smart Texan™, friend.
I moved to a then-less_conservative state, which is now solidly red... so probably moving again, within a few years, specifically to a more moderate, but rural state.
If we want to really discuss "unfair" can we talk about Texas' recent gerrymandering?!
What does "GM" mean here?
...is more accurate. The procedure you make jest at is among the most horrific "medical" surgeries I have ever witnessed (during my brief medical training, doctor dropout, myself "cut") — I have seen few adult humans express such similar pain (either facially or even with words). Absolutely barbaric, which few medical reasons immediately justify.
