norimee@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done?2·8 months agoIdk. When I worked oncology all our prostate patients were very young men way before 40.
But thats anecdotal. I don’t have any numbers. But whats the worst thing that can happen when you get a prostate check? That they don’t find anything?

Get your general practitioner to do a full health check, ECG, EEG, cardiac ultrasound, a full blood panel, bloodpressure, pulmonary function, skin cancer prevention ect.
Schedule a gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
Check in with an urologist to get your prostate and urinary tract checked.
If you can, get a full body scan. Either PET or MRI.Nearly every serious disease or health issue is easier prevented or treated when caught before it casues real issues.
Every cancer there is, has a better outcome and is easier treated when found early. Most of them are silent until very late in the game.This is something I would recommend to anyone: Take advantage of every preventative messure or examination that is available to you!
There is no illness that you can detect too early.

They are quite thin and have a sharper edge then normal spoons which makes them perfect for scooping out avocados, mangos, the seeds of pumpkins and all kind of melons or vegetables for filling (like the core of a zucchini or cucumber).
I really wouldn’t want to miss them, they are so versatile.
You yelled at her. That is 100% not acceptable workplace behaviour.
I feel like you could benefit from reading AskAManager.org for some insight on how to handle conflicts at work.
norimee@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something that seems obvious within your profession, but the general public seems to misunderstand?5·10 months agoThat is a pretty big accusation you are putting on health care professionals.
Of course the cost often is a deciding factor on what treatment is possible. I’ve seen this in european hospitals as well, that we couldn’t run certain diagnostics or give certain medications because they were too expensive and would mean the hospital spends more than it gets for the patient.
But what you are saying is that doctors and in consequence nurses, medical technicians and all kind of medical staff are all in on a conspiracy to MISDIAGNOSE ON PURPOUS (!!) causing bodily harm (again on purpous) to their patients in order to get payed by insurance?
Please provide reliable sources and proof for this accusation of significant criminal activity that is apparently the norm in your (“here” means the US I assume?) Health care system.
I understand that your health care system is wack. But the fish stinks from the head and that’s usually not the medical staff providing your care, which you are accusing of serious crimes here.

That your doctor couldn’t diagnose you right away or a treatment is not working for you as wanted (or as it did for your neighbor) has most often nothing to do with the competence of the medical personel but with the fact, that your body is not a massproduced machine but 100% unique a änd individual biological mass.

Where I live, apprenticeships are officially regulated and for many proffessions you are not allowed to open a business without proper qualification.
Tea is simpler in preparation
Since I started drinking matcha, I disagree.
In my childhood teas were all named with colours. Mostly black, red and green. Green being mint and red fruity teas.
I recently discovered cold brew coffee for myself (bought a cold brew jug on a whim at TJmaxx as one does) and I love how the coffee just doesn’t have any bitterness anymore. The slow stewing in cold water really pulls out the flavour without the acidity.
It rises and downs same as the sun every day with the rotation of the earth. That has nothing to do with the moon cycle.
Stop being nitpicky and destroy things for others because you have to split hairs.
